Materials Testing and Analysis

7.5 Credits
First Cycle
To Syllabus

Starts week 36, 2024

Knowledge and understanding
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to::

  • explain the importance of including material-related quality control and troubleshooting in the production chain, from both a quality perspective and a sustainability perspective,
  • explain central concepts in material analysis and material testing,
  • describe the most common methods of material analysis and material testing and when they can be used to solve material-related problems within the product manufacturing chain.

Skills and abilities
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • master the various steps of metallographic sample preparation,
  • perform hardness testing and tensile testing of variousengineering materials,
  • perform simple material analyses using light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy / X-ray analysis,
  • distinguish between different types of product defects such as handling defects, process / production defects and material defects,
  • distinguish different types of product defects that arise in handling, process, production or that are linked to the material,
  • interpret and communicate the meaning of the results obtained in connection with material testing and analysis.

Evaluation ability and approach
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • discuss and reflect on how different types of material defects can affect the robustness of the production process and the quality of the final product as well as ways to avoid this type of problem,
  • critically discuss and reflect on the role of materials to that the production processes and products can be made more sustainable.
