The course continues from MH2056, Materials properties I, and deepens the knowledge about construction materials, especially how they are affected by deformation processes. The course also includes special effects in some important systems as shape memory alloys, bulk metal glass and intermetallics. Embrittling phenomena, influence from the surroundings, as well as the importance of gradient zones and residual stresses in the surface layer with respect to fatigue life, is also included.

Mechanical properties:
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
In order to analyse the importance of deformation processes for final mechanical properties in different directions in a substance, to analyse risks and consequences of embrittlement through influence from the environment, and to evaluate fatigue life.
Knowledge of the mechanical properties of materials equivalent to contents of course MH2056 Materials Properties I.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
KON1 and KON2 are optional and can when passed replace TEN1.
