Aim

The course aims to provide the student with a deep and broad understanding of high temperature materials and their behaviour under different operating conditions.

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• demonstrate an understanding of high temperature phenomena, their mechanisms and associated problems and difficulties in the use of materials at elevated temperatures.

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• demonstrate the ability to plan and conduct experimental studies on the mechanical behaviour of materials and their interactions with the environment at elevated temperatures.
• demonstrate the ability to develop engineering materials with desired properties at high temperatures.

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• show the ability to analyse the high temperature behaviour of materials.
• show the ability to find the necessary data for using materials at high temperatures.
• show the ability to carry out projects in collaboration with others in a group.
