LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT At the end of this course, the students;
1) Ability to select the appropriate material during mechanical design.
2) Understanding the effects of atomic and lattice structures inside materials to the mechanical behavior.
3) Learning the atomic and lattice structure changes inside the material during production process that defines the materials mechanical properties of the product.
4) Determining the mechanical properties of materials using tests.
5) Changing the mechanical properties of metals through alloying.
6) Changing the mechanical properties of metals through heat treatment.
