Materials science for beginners
Work through crystal structures, defects and diffusion, mechanical properties, phase diagrams and heat treatment in order. Centered on metals, it is a recommended first step that traces the basic arc of materials science from start to finish.
- Crystal structures and Miller indices
- Crystal defects and diffusion
- Mechanical properties and fracture
- Thermodynamics of materials
- Phase diagrams and the lever rule
- Heat treatment and metallic materials
- Metals and alloys
- Materials processing and joining
- Materials selection and design
A topic counts as done when you have answered at least 60% of its questions with 80% or higher accuracy.
