Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who completes the course successfully will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the main issues related to Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering. In the first part of the course he or she will aquire basic knowledge on Thermodinamics and Kinetics of chemical reactions, equilibria and colligative properties of aqueous solutions and electrochemistry. In the second part of the course, he or she will acquire knowledge on structure and properties of metallic and non metallic materials for structural applications and will be able to select the most suitable material for specified applications.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
In the written exam (2 hours, 3-4 essay questions), the student must demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and to organise an effective and correctly written reply. During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and be able to discuss the reading matter thoughtfully and with propriety of expression.

Methods:

  • Final oral exam
  • Final written exam

Further information:
During the course, weekly home works are assigned, which should be completed and consigned in time as required. A mid-term and a final assessments (in class) are provided to students. Students who complete all home works and are successfull with both assessments will get final quotation for the course. Otherwise, supplementary examinations (written and oral) are available during the Academic Year.

Syllabus
In the first part, the course provides notions on Inorganic Chemistry and electrochemistry, considering the atomic and molecular structure of elements/compounds and related chemical properties, together with basics of thermodinamics and kinetics of chemical and electrochemical reactions. In the second part, the course approaches the study of the structure and properties of metallic materials (carbon and stainless steels, cast irons, ligth metals, titanium alloys, copper alloys, superalloys), as well as main topics of physical metallurgy, phase transformations and failure mechanisms of metals (mechanical and corrosive). Lastly, the course focuses on the structure and properties of polimeric, ceramics and composite materials.
