An overview of both established and new materials characterization techniques, including mechanical characterization (e.g., hardness measurements, tensile test, Charpy impact test, fatigue test), x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, optical microscopy, electron microscopy (e.g., SEM, EDS, WDS), and thermal analysis (e.g., DTA, DSC, TGA, TMA). Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): Graduate standing or permission of the Department Head.
