Crystalline Structure Course
Dive into FCC and BCC crystal structures, packing efficiency, slip systems, and creep mechanisms to forecast density, strength, and performance at elevated temperatures. Transform atomic-level knowledge into smarter alloy selection, failure investigations, and materials engineering choices in chemistry.

What will I learn?
This course offers a quick, hands-on way to grasp FCC and BCC lattices, unit cell shapes, coordination numbers, and packing factors. You'll calculate theoretical density, atomic packing factors, and atoms per unit cell, then link these to slip systems, critical resolved shear stress, strength, ductility, creep, and high-temperature properties, using practical examples, tools, and key references for immediate use.
