What will I learn?
This course offers a quick and practical guide to understanding FCC and BCC lattices, unit cell shapes, coordination numbers, and packing efficiency. You will calculate theoretical density, atomic packing factors, and atoms per unit cell, then relate these to slip systems, critical resolved shear stress, strength, ductility, creep resistance, and performance at high temperatures, using examples, tools, and key references for instant use.
