| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Describe the basic concepts of mechanical metallurgy, including stress, strain, and material deformation behavior.
- Analyze elastic and plastic deformation in both idealized (single crystal) and real crystalline materials.
- Understand dislocation theory and its critical role in plastic deformation and strengthening mechanisms.
- Identify and explain various strengthening methods, including grain size control, solid solution strengthening, and work hardening.
- Conduct and interpret standard mechanical tests, such as tensile, hardness, impact, fatigue, and creep testing.
- Evaluate failure mechanisms including fatigue, creep, and fracture, and relate them to service conditions and material structure.
- Apply mechanical metallurgy principles to solve practical engineering problems involving material selection and performance under mechanical loads.
