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,
