Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
At the end of the course, students will be able to master the main mechanical properties of the most diffuse metallic materials. They will also have to develop a skill of the use of the given theoretical tools for the metallic material selection procedures in the mechanical engineering filed.
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
At the end of the course, students will have to: 1. acquire the skill to select a specific metallic material, or a narrow range of metallic materials, for the engineering production of specific components; 2. acquire the knowledge of the major mechanical properties of the most diffuse metallic materials for the engineering.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
The proposed practical exercise on the metallic material selection methods will give to the students a sufficient confidence of the theoretical means for a proper selection methodology of metallic materials, for many of the engineering fields.

Program
Mechanical properties of metallic materials. Steels: properties, classification and specific application fileds. General purposes steels. Construction steels. Tool steels. Stainless steels. Cast irons. Elements of Aluminum alloys, Titanium alloys and Superalloys. Metallic materials selections criteria for the structural and design engineering (included 3-hour trial on a specific case study).

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The student will have to pass a written and oral evaluation. The written part refers to the metallic material selections critera, and, in particular, to a practical case study to solve. The oral exam focuses on the metallic materials properties.

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
The student will have to show a sufficient level of knowledge of all the topics included in this course.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
Base 30 points for both the written and oral evaluation. The final mark will be the mean evaluation between the two.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The oral examination will be structured in three queries, each of them will be evaluated from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 10. The “lode“ will be assigned to those students that will show excellent knowledge in all the three queries, and the written case study proposed.
