MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY FOR MECHANICS
(objectives)
THE AIM OF THE CLASS IS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THE MATERIAL DEGRADATION DUE TO THE AMBIENT OPERATING. IN THIS WAY IT IS POSSIBLE TO EVALUATE THE LIFE AND RELIABILITY IN THE DESIGN PHASE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT AND MONITOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND DEGRADATION DURING THE LIFETIME. THE MAIN TYPES OF DEGRADATION (DEPENDING ON OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS) AND METHODS TO EVALUATE THE DEGRADATION SPEED ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN TYPES OF MATERIALS APPLIED IN ENERGY SECTOR (METALLIC, CERAMIC AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS) AND THEIR MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES ARE SHOWN. BASIC ASPECTS OF THE CLASS OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, ACQUIRED DURING THE FIRST DEGREE LEVEL WILL BE APPLIED IN CASE STUDIES. IN THIS WAY THE CORRELATIONS AMONG COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE, MANUFACTURING AND PROPERTIES ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
