Material Processing

Have you ever wondered why ceramics are hard and brittle while metals tend to be ductile? Why some materials conduct heat or electricity while others are insulators? Why adding just a small amount of carbon to iron results in an alloy that is so much stronger than the base metal? In this course, you will learn how a material’s properties are determined by the microstructure of the material, which is in turn determined by composition and the processing that the material has undergone. This is the second of three Coursera courses that mirror the Introduction to Materials Science class that is taken by most engineering undergrads at Georgia Tech. The aim of the course is to help students better understand the engineering materials that are used in the world around them. This first section covers the fundamentals of materials science including atomic structure and bonding, crystal structure, atomic and microscopic defects, and noncrystalline materials such as glasses, rubbers, and polymers.

fun and interesting course

FUN AND INTERESTING COURSE.

basic quantitative idea regarding

A very good introductory course that provides a good qualitative and basic quantitative idea regarding phase transformations ranging from 1 component to multiple components.

under construction - many

Course seems under construction - many later lectures unquizzed?

ranging from 1 component

carryon my research work

It is going to be very usefull for me to carryon my research work.

diagram from different prespectives

this course has made be able to look into phase diagram from different prespectives and make me understand the origin and modification in phase diagram CCT and IT diagrams.

adding an example

This course could have been made more helpful by adding an example of any grade of steel and performing the calculations and experiment on that specific grade.
