By the study of this course, the leaners could master the structural characteristics of materials, the species of lattice defects and formation of them, which could help the learners to analyze the properties of materials through their composition and structures. The thermodynamic knowledge of phase equilibria and phase transformations could help the learners to figure out the problems regarding with recipe and preparation technology according to the characteristics and phase diagrams of the materials. The diffusion mechanisms in crystalline systems could help the learners to recognize the microstructure evolution of materials during the producing process. Learning the solid-state reactions in the process of the materials preparation and the basic rules of sintering process could help the learners to control the manufacture process using relative knowledge of dynamics. In summary, by learning this course, the learners could master the basic knowledge and principles of materials. From studying the basic relationships of “composition- structure-properties- application” of materials, the abilities of recognition of problem, data analysis and complicate engineering problems analysis could be developed.
