The aim of the EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES FOR MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION is to understand the most important techniques used to characterize and study the properties of traditional and advanced materials. Thus, the most important methods of characterizing materials such as X‐ray diffraction techniques, thermal analysis measurements as well as basic measurements of mechanical properties of materials such as strength and hardness measurements are studied. In‐depth understanding of these techniques, the preparation of measurement samples, the performance of measurements and the analysis of measurements are the main objective and an integral part of the laboratory training.

The learning objectives of this course are to learn the technical characterization of technological materials. The exercises introduce students to the mentality of Engineering Materials as the methods taught in the Laboratory are used internationally and widely in both laboratory and industrial scale.
