Fundamentals of materials characterization and failure analysis
Learn the basics of crystal structures, defects and diffusion, thin-film and surface phenomena, analytical methods such as XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and SIMS, and how to read fracture surfaces and damage from fatigue and corrosion. Suited to anyone who wants to build the skill of interpreting analytical results in process engineering or failure analysis work.
