We explore “10 things” that range from the menu of materials available to engineers in their profession to the many mechanical and electrical properties of materials important to their use in various engineering fields. We also discuss the principles behind the manufacturing of those materials. By the end of the course, you will be able to: * Recognize the important aspects of the materials used in modern engineering applications, * Explain the underlying principle of materials science: “structure leads to properties,” * Identify the role of thermally activated processes in many of these important “things” – as illustrated by the Arrhenius relationship. * Relate each of these topics to issues that have arisen (or potentially could arise) in your life and work. If you would like to explore the topic in more depth you may purchase Dr. Shackelford's Textbook: J.F. Shackelford, Introduction to Materials Science for Engineers, Eighth Edition, Pearson Prentice-Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2015

This course was alot more educational then I thought it would be but now I compare what has shaped me in in life to creep deformation. I especially loved the lecture " a play on good and evil".

Beautiful course. Helped me a lot in the selection of materials for our rocketry team. I'll be sure to suggest this course to my fellow teammates. A big thumbs-up to UCDAVIS for this course.

Course Overview / The Menu of Materials / Point Defects Explain Solid State Diffusion

Welcome to week 1! In lesson one, you will learn to recognize the six categories of engineering materials through examples from everyday life, and we’ll discuss how the structure of those materials leads to their properties. Lesson two explores how point defects explain solid state diffusion. We will illustrate crystallography – the atomic-scale arrangement of atoms that we can see with the electron microscope. We will also describe the Arrhenius Relationship, and apply it to the number of vacancies in a crystal. We’ll finish by discussing how point defects facilitate solid state diffusion, and applying the Arrhenius Relationship to solid state diffusion.

[MUSIC] And we're here in Kemper Hall on the U.C.

Davis Campus.

Here in the heart of campus, part of the engineering complex,

Kemper Hall is named after our second engineering dean, John Dustin Kemper.

It's also the home of a number of academic departments including the Material Science

and Engineering Program.

And we're here today in the electron microscope laboratory specifically

we'll be learning about the electron microscope to help us understand

the nature of point defects and how that leads to solid state diffusion.

[MUSIC]

The electron microscope behind me is very much like a traditional optical microscope

we might be familiar with perhaps from a high school biology class.

In that case the light microscope, simply a set of glass lenses that refract

light in a systematic way to provide a magnified image of some biological sample.

In the case of looking at engineering materials on the atomic scale,

we use the transmission electron microscope with precisely the same

optics except we have magnetic lenses.

Electromagnetic lens that are providing the same function as the glass lenses in

the light microscope.

And because electrons at high voltage as they are in the electron microscope

have very short wavelength, we're able to see much higher scale resolutions,

we're able to go to the atomic scale as we'll see and

identify individual atomic arrangements and even individual defects.

The title of this segment is point defects explain solid state diffusion.

But before we explain what diffusion is and even what point defects

are we should spend a minute talking a bit about crystallography.

And simply acknowledging the fact that many of the common materials we use in

engineering practice are crystalline in nature which simply means

that on the atomic scale they have a regular and repeating structure.

For example this stick and ball model here

is called a simple cubic crystal structure.

It's one in which this cubic arrangement of atoms is representative

of the entire material.

The small ball here representing the center of an atom at each corner

of the crystal.

Now as a practical matter, this is a theoretical structure.

Not one found in nature for common metals.

It's simply a too inefficient in the packing, the atomic bonding between

actual atoms in the structure as we talked about in our first segment.

Prefers a more efficient highly density packing of the individual atoms, so

as a better example would be this cubic arrangement in which we have

an atom on each corner of a cubic structure.

But with additional atoms in the center of each of the cubic faces.

And so we appropriately call this a face centered cubic crystal structure.

This is one which is actually found in many common

metal alloys based on aluminum, copper, nickel and so on.

And we'll generally be going to a set of short lecture segments

in which we'll talk about the specific example of aluminum.

And an alloy in which there are point defects that

again lead to solid state diffusion.

But the stick and the ball model is not a complete story.

It's obviously showing where the centers of atoms are.

It does show us the overall spatial arrangement of the unit cell nicely,

but of course, the balls representing the atoms are much smaller

than the atomic spheres would be in reality.

So a better model would be this one of atoms full size.

This is a case now in which we have our cubic unit cell,

and in this each the atoms,

or partial atoms contained within the unit cell, are full size.

So in this case they are touching as they would be in the real bonding situation.

So again this represents aluminum, and

in this case, this face centered arrangement,

the cubic arrangement on the corners, the face centered position.

All of these atoms are very efficiently packed, and

what we see in if we do a careful audit of the volume of this system.

These spheres and spherical segments add up to 74% of the volume of the cube.

So again there's very little empty space or

interstitial space between the individual atoms.

So now when we begin to talk about defects, we'll see that there are really

types that we can imagine in these otherwise perfect crystal structures.

We could simply take one atom away and that would be a vacancy.

Or we can take another atom, let's say another aluminum atom the same size,

and if you will stuff it into this extra Interstitial space.

That's gonna be difficult obviously,

because again there's very little extra space.

What we could do though is create an interstitial

defect with a smaller atom of another type,

and that's exactly what happens in common steel making processes.

We have carbon atoms in an array of iron atoms in that crystallographic structure,

so for example if we had the face centered cubic arrangement of iron atoms as we have

in the high temperature form of iron, a small carbon atom could fit comfortably

in this interstitial space and in its movement around through the crystal

structure is the basis of the carburization of steel.

So we'll now go to a video segment which will allow us to

understand in more detail what the population of those defects are.

We'll specifically focus on vacancies, and

then how those vacancies can lead to solid state diffusion.
