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.
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.
