- 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.
