Offered to

NATURAL BUILDING STONES AND GEMSTONES

Course Objective

One of the course objectives is to introduce the metallurgical structure and basic properties of the metallic, ceramic and composite materials used in the production and processing of natural building stones and gem stones. The other objective is to make the student be aware of the relationship between the properties and behavior of the building and gem stones during the cutting and abration operations.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to explain the relationship between the metallurgical structure and the physical and chemical properties of metallic, ceramic and composite engineering materials
2   To be able to express the behavior of the building and gem stones during the cutting and abration operations.
3   To be able to identify some of the modern analytical equipment used for the investigation of mechanical and chemical degradation of stones during their usage
4   To be able to select materials suitable for the intended cutting and abration operations
5   Through group studies, to be able to conduct written and oral presentations on the course topics.
