Crystalline Structure Course
Gain expertise in FCC and BCC crystal structures, including packing efficiency, slip systems, and creep behaviour, to forecast material density, strength, and high-temperature properties. Transform atomic-level knowledge into improved alloy design, failure prediction, and informed choices in advanced materials and chemistry applications, with practical tools and examples throughout.

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.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master lattice geometry: swiftly visualise and analyse FCC and BCC unit cells in three dimensions.
- Perform density and APF calculations: rapidly determine packing efficiency and theoretical density for FCC and BCC structures.
- Analyse slip systems: forecast slip activation, CRSS values, and trends in ductility for FCC and BCC materials.
- Understand dislocations and creep: connect lattice imperfections to material strength and creep at elevated temperatures.
- Grasp basics of turbine alloy design: align crystal structures with requirements for creep resistance and oxidation protection.
