Metallic material is one of the most widely used materials, with a long history and a well-established system. This course is set up on the basis of high education major requirements of materials science and engineering, and metallic materials and engineering, and metallurgy, and focus on the knowledge of the principle of metallic materials, and will refer to the following contents: ferrous materials, non-ferrous materials, metallic functional materials, new kind of metallic materials, and the process technology of metallic materials. On the one hand, the alloying principle of steel, including the effects of alloying elements, the interaction between iron and carbon, the effect of alloying element during the phase transformation, effect of alloying elements on the mechanical property improvements, and the performance of various alloying steels. Following the line of composition-technology-microstructure-property-application, various materials such as molding steel, special steel, casting iron, aluminum, copper, titanium and magnesium alloys will be taught. Secondly, the new functional metallic materials such as magnetic alloys, composite, shape memory alloys will be illustrated. Finally, the process of metallic materials will be depicted, including the casting, plastic formation and welding technologies, etc.
Materials Science and Engineering
材料工程是研究材料成分、结构、工艺、性能与用途有关知识和应用的学科，涉及物质的性质及其在各个科学和工程学领域的整合应用，研究材料的制备或加工工艺、材料的微观结构与材料宏观性能三者之间的相互关系。
