Goal(s)
Make the relation between processing, microstructure and properties for the different classes of materials (polymers, ceramics and metallic alloys).
Lab session of 3,5h are based on various experimental tools for mechanical, optical, electrical, physico-chemical and microstructural characterization and lead to a report.
Content(s)
The module includes 8 practical exercises on the following topics:
1. Solidification of aluminium alloys
2. Carburizing treatment of a steel
3. Brittle materials fracture : Weibull model, measurement of fracture toughness
4. Electrical and optical characterisations of III-V semiconductors
5. Failure of thin films: the electromigration case
6. Polymers synthesis
7. Polymers cristallisation
8. Polymers Tensile Test
Prerequisites
Basic concepts of cristallography.
Basic concepts on the mechanical behaviour of materials.
Knowledge of binary equilibrium phase diagrams and solidification of alloys.
Test
A practical report due at the end of the 3.5-hour session
N1=1/6*(Rapport1+Rapport2+Rapport3+Rapport4+Rapport5+Rapport6)
N2= Oral (30 minutes)
