Time-dependent transformations. Relation of
structure to properties. Elastic and plastic
deformation. Four lectures and one laboratory

Course
objective: Fundamental understanding of important
concepts in materials science and engineering, and
ability to relate these concepts to mechanical engineering
design and manufacturing.
Textbook:
Materials
Science and Engineering : An Introduction by
William D. Callister, Publisher: Wiley; 6th Edition
(2002); ISBN: 0471135763 (Amazon listed at $141.95)
The
7th Edition (2006) is listed at $127.76 with very
few used book available. I will stay with the 6th
edition for 2007 Win Qtr. A used book can be found
at $30~$70 in places like ebay.
Figure:
Bright field TEM micrograph on Ni3Al
showing diffraction patterns in the [001] direction. The Ni3Al
has a L12 structure, a FCC lattice
with aluminum atoms at the corner and nickel
atoms at the face centered positions. The distance
between the two bright spots is ~0.7 nm. I took this photomicrograph in 1994 at UCLA.
