Materials Characterization Techniques

3 credits · Graduate

This course provides an overview of multi-scale materials characterization techniques. It covers microstructural assessment methods, such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy (WDS), and Electron Backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and mechanical characterization techniques, particularly indentation testing.
