Crystalline Structure Course
Gain expertise in FCC and BCC crystal structures, atomic packing, slip systems, and creep behaviour to forecast material density, strength, and high-temperature properties. Transform atomic-level knowledge into smarter alloy selection, failure investigations, and materials choices for chemistry and engineering applications in Botswana industries.

What will I learn?
This course offers a quick, hands-on way to master FCC and BCC lattices, unit cell shapes, coordination numbers, and packing factors. You'll calculate theoretical density, atomic packing efficiency, and atoms per unit cell, then link these to slip systems, critical resolved shear stress, strength, ductility, creep resistance, and performance at high temperatures, using practical examples, tools, and key references for immediate use.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master lattice geometry: swiftly visualise and analyse FCC and BCC unit cells in three dimensions.
- Perform density and packing calculations: rapidly determine atomic packing factors and theoretical densities for FCC and BCC.
- Analyse slip systems: forecast slip activation, CRSS values, and trends in ductility for FCC and BCC materials.
- Understand dislocations and creep: connect crystal defects to material strength and creep at elevated temperatures.
- Apply basics of turbine alloy design: select structures suited to creep resistance and oxidation in high-heat environments.
