Materials science is concerned with relating the properties of a material to its microstructures. The Materials Science Laboratory (MSL) is designed to support undergraduate students taking a material science course (MAE 205) that has a laboratory course (MAE 203) affiliated with it.

MSL is designed to facilitate the study of various aspects of structure, ranging from atomic considerations to those, which can be observed by the unaided eye. A collection of components that have failed in service are utilized for the general purpose of improving mechanical designs. In addition to the usual geometric concerns, these components are used to illustrate the importance of materials selection with respect to alloy composition, mechanical processing, 热处理, 和制造. 微波, metallographic preparing equipment, and testing facilities appropriate for this endeavor are available for use in the laboratory.

关于

MSL houses equipment associated with material science, including examination equipment, measurement equipment, 和制造 equipment as well as testing equipment, so that students can perform hands-on experiments to strengthen their understanding of materials science theories. The lab also utilizes equipment for metallographic specimen preparation, macroscopic and microscopic visual examination, 热处理, 金属加工, 物理测试, and non-destruction evaluation.
