Offered to

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Course Objective

Aim of the course is to give information about low-carbon mild steels, low alloy high strength steels, medium and high carbon ferrite-perlite steels, bainitic steels, super strength steels and stainless steels. The students of metallurgical and materials engineering will be acquired knowledge and skills at the matter of;
1) Steel classes and their properties,
2) Applications and the properties required from steel to be met,
3) Relationships between structure, properties and processing in steels.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   be able to classify steels according to various criteria,
2   be able to deal/compare/distinguish specifications of steel classes,
3   be able to determine/define the required properties of steel for a particular application,
4   be able to described the strengthening mechanisms and their interactions and the effects on other properties in steels,
5   be able to explain relationships between structures, properties and processing in steels,
6   be able to choose an appropriate steel for a particular engineering desing and/or application,

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Midterm exams, quizzes, and final exam will be performed as classical written exams with closed book-notebook. Assessment criteria and assignments related to homework and reports which requested from students will be announced on the Web and linked from the department home page.

Assessment Criteria

Class participation, attendance and discussion, are important and expected, and will be included overall in evaluation. Learning outcome (LO6) will be assessed by means of homework and by means of oral presentation requested from students. Other learning outcomes will be assessed by means of exam questions.

Language of Instruction

Turkish

Course Policies and Rules

Students are expected to be in the classroom before the instructor's presence, not to interrupt the lecture, be prepared with the lecture material, as well as to contribute to scientific discussions during the lecture and to participate efficiently in every assignment. Lectures and examinations are carried out with respect to regulation of Engineering Faculty of Dokuz Eylul University, named "Principles of Education and Examination Practice".
