AER11004 Introduction to Aerospace Materials

Cannot be taken with: BIE2643, MAT1643

Aims/Description: This module examines how the macroscopic properties of materials are determined by the arrangement of, and bonding between atoms. How processing can affect these atomic arrangements and thus the microstructure and properties of a material is considered. Finally materials selection for aerospace applications taking into account multiple criteria is introduced.
