Course: High Temperature Materials

Lecturer

  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Niendorf

Learning objectives

  • Knowledge: Students will learn the relevant elementary processes that play key roles in material behavior at high temperatures. They will also be familiar with all the techniques that can be used to increase the strength of components subjected to high temperatures.

  • Skills: Students will learn to evaluate stress conditions and derive measures for strength increase as well as corrosion prevention.

  • Competencies: The students will be able to assess components with regard to their load-bearing capacity. They will also learn to design the components for advanced applications. In addition, the students will gain the knowledge for a suitable material selection.
