To gain understanding of high temperature materials generally exploited at operating temperatures greater than the half of melting temperature.

To understand the characteristics and theory of high temperature materials responsible for sustaining them in severe operating environments and provides resistance to mechanical degradation over extended periods of time.

To be acquainted with the creep phenomenon and associated mechanisms that primarily decides the thermal capability of the high temperature materials.

To have familiarity with commercially available high temperature materials, their characteristics and applications.
