What will I learn?
This course offers a quick and practical way to master FCC and BCC lattices, unit cell geometry, coordination numbers, and packing factors. You will learn to 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, complete with examples, tools, and key references for immediate use.
