Have you ever wondered why ceramics are hard and brittle while metals tend to be ductile? Why some materials conduct heat or electricity while others are insulators? Why adding just a small amount of carbon to iron results in an alloy that is so much stronger than the base metal? In this course, you will learn how a material’s properties are determined by the microstructure of the material, which is in turn determined by composition and the processing that the material has undergone.

TOP REVIEWS FROM MATERIAL BEHAVIOR
This course is very much informative and I learned so many basic concepts which are related to actual behavior of different materials.
To whom concern.
The whole of course is fantastic , I have learnt too much about scince engineering.
Nevertheless, I would have liked to have more practical examples.
Thanks¡
This was very useful for me to understand the material beviour , crystal structure of various material , material type after that got the sufficient knowledge about material beviour
It is an excellent course and designed a great way. More subject orientated and make things better understanding the materials.
