Materials Science and Engineering

Credit system: 3 years

Brief Introduction

This discipline was established in 1958. It was one of the first batch of master degree sections in China, and was approved of granting doctoral degree in 1984. The discipline of materials science and engineering was approved of establishing post-doctoral research station in 1992 and doctoral degree site of the first level discipline of materials science and engineering in 2001. It owns three doctoral degree sites with second level discipline, including material processing engineering, materials science, material physics and chemistry, and four independently set up doctoral degree sites with second level discipline, including material surface engineering, material joining technology, polymer materials, and nondestructive testing and evaluation of materials. The discipline of materials science and engineering became the first level key discipline of Liaoning province in 2008.

The discipline site owns one research innovation team of the ministry of education, one key laboratory of the ministry of education, three key laboratories of Liaoning province, one key laboratory of colleges and universities in Liaoning province, and two technology research center of Liaoning province. Materials Test and Analysis Center of Dalian University of Technology has high-ranking analysis equipments, including high resolution transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, electron probe microanalyzer, differential thermal analyzer, X-ray diffractometer, fluorescence X-ray spectrometer, and superconducting high magnetic field. In 2006, the center was granted “Postgraduate Cultivating Base of the Key Discipline Area in Liaoning Province”.

Several key research directions have been established in this discipline, including Materials Modification by Plasma and Energetic Beams, Green Joining Technology and Equipments, Electromagnetic Casting of Non-Ferrous Alloys, Solar Energy Photovoltaic Materials, Materials Design and Application, and Computer Application for Material Processing. In recent five years, the discipline has obtained 89 invention patents, 40 achievement transformations, 2 second prizes of national technological invention, 16 first or second prizes of provincial and ministerial level, and 16 appraised achievements. “High Conductive Aluminum Alloy Material” was listed as designated products for “West-East Pipeline Project” and “Three Gorges Project”. “Material Electromagnetic Processing Technology” with international leading level was appraised as national initiative. This technology has been involved in developing a new type of high conductive, high strength contact line, which has been applied in the high-speed rail from Beijing to Shanghai. The product of “Low Chromium Austenitic Stainless Steel Welding Material” was identified as national industry standard, and widely applied in domestic petrochemical enterprises. A number of industrialization bases in domestic have been established using Laser-argon arc welding technology of Magnesium alloys. Polycrystalline silicon prepared from the metallurgical technology has been applied in a number of domestic enterprises. The poly-Si was listed as key product of national new material industrial during the 12th 5-years-plan. Meanwhile, it has established a demonstration base of solar energy photovoltaic system. As chief executive unit, the discipline site is undertaking a 973 project of “Key scientific problems of nuclear main pump manufacture”.
