Università Roma Tre

1. Provide knowledge for properly selecting and using essential materials currently employed in the aeronautical field, including software tools.
2. Provide knowledge on structural materials for aeronautical applications, such as polymer matrix composites and light alloys (composition, structure, properties, manufacturing processes, and applications for fuselages, wing planes, etc.), as well as materials for high-temperature applications like titanium alloys and superalloys, ceramic materials, and coatings for use in propulsion system components.
3. Provide the fundamental elements for an industrial specialist engineer related to surface engineering techniques in advanced aeronautical components.
4. Provide the fundamental elements for an aeronautical specialist engineer concerning advanced material characterization techniques: compositional, structural, and microstructural of advanced materials for aeronautical applications (optical and electron microscopy – SEM/TEM/FIB – X-ray diffraction).
5. Provide the fundamental elements for an industrial specialist engineer related to micro-and nano-mechanical characterization techniques of advanced materials for aeronautical applications (micro/nano-hardness, atomic force microscopy).
6. Students will acquire the necessary skills to (1) select the most suitable materials based on design specifications, (2) understand the necessary heat treatments and surface treatments to improve the performance of advanced materials for aeronautics and aerospace, (3) comprehend the application principles of the latest surface engineering techniques.
