Understanding Metals

Well, that just about covers the entirety of our metals chapter for both our summer camp and our year-long material science course.

If my students could understand the totality of this seventeen-minute video, they would rock my end of chapter test. It covers...

  • BCC/FCC/HCP
  • crystalline v amorphous
  • slip planes
  • defects - point, line, and screw
  • grains and grain boundaries
  • cold working / work hardening
  • alloying - both substitutional and interstitial
  • heat treating
  • two-phase alloys & precipitation hardening
  • the iron/carbon eutectic diagram with ferrite and austenite

Thankfully the video is incredibly well laid out, animated, and presented. This would make a great end of the chapter review for students to watch.
