Art des Moduls Wahlpflicht
Lernergebnisse, Kompetenzen, Qualifikationsziele

After successfully completing this course, students are expected to

  1. gain an overview of sustainable materials development and the approaches towards the sustainabilities of metals;
  2. be equipped with the knowledge with a holistic view of the link of chemistry – microstructure/nanostructure – process – property – performance – integration – circularity in novel sustainable materials development;
  3. acquire the knowledge of design, characterization, optimization, and application of sustainable materials with case studies, particularly with a focus on hydrogen energy and circular metals.
Lehrveranstaltungsarten VlMp (1 SWS), Ü (1 SWS)
Lehrinhalte
  • Introduction to sustainable materials
  • Sustainability concepts and materials circularity
  • Sustainable alloy design and recycling-friendly materials
  • Life cycle analysis and circular material flow management
  • Case study 1: Cu contamination in steel recycling
  • Materials for hydrogen infrastructure (enabling LNG pipelines for H2 transport, H2 container, engines, etc.)

  • Case study 2: Hydrogen embrittlement of steels
Titel der Lehrveranstaltungen Sustainable Materials
Lehr- und Lernmethoden (Lehr- und Lernformen) „Flipped classroom“:
Students complete interactive self-learning modules in Moodle before attending the face-to-face lecture block. Topics include, among others, materials chemistry, characterization techniques, and circular economy.
During the lecture block, students group together for interdisciplinary project work.
