Travaux Pratiques en Science et Génie des Matériaux et des Surfaces S6

The practical work of the IDM course provides the practical insight essential to the engineer's training and completes the notions developed in the course, relating to the three main families of construction materials: metals, polymers and ceramics. These practical exercises are grouped according to four themes: "Mechanical Behaviour of Materials", "Tribology and Surfaces", "Heat Treatment of Metal Alloys" and "Polymers and Composites".

Objectives (8h PW and 3h Aut. Per PW) : (i) Mechanical Behaviour of Materials: to introduce and practice the most commonly used tests to access the properties and mechanical behaviour materials. (ii) Tribology and Surfaces: to address, through a practical approach, some simple problems of wear and lubrication in a multidisciplinary framework combining mechanics, materials science and surfaces. (iii) Heat Treatment of Metal Alloys: to establish the relationships between chemical composition, heat treatment, microstructure and mechanical properties. (iv) Polymers and Composites: acquire knowledge of the processing of polymers and composites and then make the link between the process and the properties of the material.
