This course begins with an introduction to materials and chemical bonds. It allows students to master the structure of solid, amorphous and crystalline materials with their chemical compositions and crystal defects. Then the properties of the materials (physical, chemical and mechanical) and the phenomena of degradation will be approached (ageing, deterioration, corrosion, etc.) in addition to the use of the materials. Finally, the materials are divided into three main parts and explained: metallic materials (alloys, cast iron and steel), polymer materials and mineral materials. Examples of common applications are discussed after each part in order to familiarize students with the links between structure and properties sought in mechanical engineering.
