The effect of atomic and crystal structure and various bonding mechanisms on the above properties are discussed. Diffusion and phase analysis in various materials, defects, and failure in materials including the effect of heat treatment on the strength of materials are also investigated. Various laboratory experiments such as impact, tensile and compression, torsion, fatigue, corrosion, thermal conduction and expansion, electrical conduction, magnetic strength, composite structure, rubber and polymer resilience, and photomicrograph are conducted to provide enhanced knowledge of material properties.
