A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Crystallography and crystal defects

This topic covers how atoms are arranged in crystalline solids and the imperfections that occur in those arrangements. For exams, you must master crystal structure concepts such as unit cells, lattice parameters, directions and planes, and then connect them to crystal defects because many mechanical and physical properties of metals depend on both structure and imperfections.
