| Contents | The course provides the basic skills needed for the selection of metallic materials intended for different conditions of use. The main contents concern: nature and properties of metallic materials, starting from the crystallographic aspects, to the defects, to the relationships between these and the macro-properties of the materials. Carbon steels, stainless steels and the main Al alloys are described in detail. |
| Reference texts | Teaching material including lecture slides, texts and solutions to the proposed exercises, tables, videos and more is available through the Unistudium platform. |
| Educational objectives | The teaching contributes to train the student on the methodological- operational aspects of engineering sciences in general and mechanical engineering in particular; It provides: 1. knowledge of the properties of metallic materials 2. ability to choose the process based on the properties of the material per energy application |
| Prerequisites | In order to understand and apply most of the concepts in teaching, preliminary knowledge of basic chemistry and physics is required. |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized in classroom lectures during which the topics covered in the course are addressed. All the teaching material used during the course – e.g. lecture slides, exercises completed and proposed, tables, videos and other content – is available through the Unistudium platform. |
| Other information | Further information is available through the Unistudium page of the course. The teacher is available for consultations at the end of each lesson; consultations with the teacher in person or through the Microsoft Teams platform can also be arranged at other times. |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of an oral test aimed at verifying knowledge of the topics covered. |
