Contents
The course provides the basic skills needed for the choice of light alloys intended for different conditions of use. The main contents concern: nature and properties of light alloys, starting from the crystallographic aspects, to the defects, to the relationships between these and the macro-properties of the materials. The main alloys of Al, Ti, Cu 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 light alloys 2. ability to choose the process based on the properties of the material.
Prerequisites
In order to understand and apply most of the concepts in teaching, preliminary knowledge of metallurgy and materials science
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.
