Tutors explain atomic bonding, crystal structures and theoretical density, defects and diffusion, phase diagrams and the lever rule, iron–carbon phases and heat treatment, mechanical properties and testing, polymers, ceramics and corrosion step by step, with worked calculations and lab report support. Matched to a verified specialist who knows your course, your university's marking criteria, and your deadline.
Topics we cover
FLN offers one-to-one online Material Science tutoring with verified subject specialists. Sessions focus on calculations, design problems and the theory behind them, including Crystal Structure, Phase Diagrams, Physical Metallurgy and Mechanical Properties of Materials, using your own course material, so you understand the subject and can apply it yourself.

Material science help is one-to-one support from a materials engineer who explains how structure controls properties, and helps with calculations, phase diagrams and lab reports. For fibre-reinforced materials, see composite materials help.

Copper is FCC with atomic mass 63.55 g/mol and lattice parameter a = 0.3615 nm.
| Step | Working | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Atoms per FCC unit cell | 8 corners × 1/8 + 6 faces × 1/2 | 4 |
| Unit cell volume | (0.3615 × 10⁻⁷ cm)³ | ≈ 4.724 × 10⁻²³ cm³ |
| Density | (4 × 63.55) ÷ (6.022 × 10²³ × 4.724 × 10⁻²³) | ≈ 8.94 g/cm³ |
| Atomic packing factor | FCC 0.74; BCC 0.68 | — |
The calculated value is close to copper's measured density, which confirms the FCC structure.
Two common calculations.
| Question | Working | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| A Cu–Ni alloy of 35 wt% Ni lies in the α + liquid region, with liquid at 31.5 wt% Ni and α at 42.5 wt% Ni. Fraction of α? | (35 − 31.5) ÷ (42.5 − 31.5) | ≈ 0.32 |
| Fraction of liquid | 1 − 0.32 | ≈ 0.68 |
| Steel (E = 200 GPa) under 300 MPa in the elastic range. Strain? | 300 ÷ 200,000 | 0.0015 |
Tutors match your level, syllabus and exam board, from school to PhD.

Most lost marks come from unit errors and misread phase diagrams.
| Mark-loser | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Lattice parameter left in nm | Convert to cm for density in g/cm³ |
| Lever rule upside down | Use the opposite arm for each phase |
| Wrong atoms per unit cell | Count corner, face and body atoms correctly |
| GPa and MPa mixed | Convert before using Hooke's law |
| Heat treatments without microstructure | Link each treatment to the resulting structure |
| Lab reports without error discussion | Discuss sources of error |
Material science is assessed in several formats, and each one is marked on different things. Tutors help you understand the brief and the marking criteria before you start.
| Assessment | What markers look for |
|---|---|
| Problem sets | Accurate structure and property calculations |
| Exams | Concepts, diagrams and numericals |
| Lab reports | Tensile, hardness and metallography results |
| Materials selection tasks | Justified choices using property charts |
| Projects | Materials research or failure analysis |
Materials scientists use these tools.
| Tool | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Optical and electron microscopes | Microstructure |
| Universal testing machines | Tensile tests |
| Hardness testers | Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell hardness |
| X-ray diffraction | Crystal structure |
| Ashby charts and selection software | Materials selection |
Material science is taught to similar core ideas worldwide, but grading, referencing and course structure differ. FLN tutors work from your own syllabus and handbook and schedule lessons in your time zone. Always follow your module handbook for referencing.
| Country | Where material science is studied | Grading | Referencing usually used |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Materials, mechanical and metallurgical engineering degrees | GCSE 9–1, A-level A*–E; degrees First, 2:1, 2:2, Third | IEEE or Harvard |
| United States | Materials science and engineering programmes | Letter grades A–F and a 4.0 GPA scale | IEEE |
| Australia | Materials and mechanical engineering degrees | HD, D, C, P at university; ATAR for school leavers | IEEE or Harvard |
| Canada | Materials engineering programmes | Letter grades or percentages; GPA scales vary by province and university | IEEE |
| India | B.Tech/BE material science and metallurgy papers, and GATE MT and ME | Board exam percentages; university CGPA, often on a 10-point scale | IEEE |
Students in Ireland, the Gulf, Europe, Africa and Asia can book the same help, with lessons in their own time zone.
The price of material science help depends on the type of task and your deadline. A short calculation costs less than a full lab report. You always see the price first: a fixed quote for homework and assignment guidance, or the tutor's hourly rate for live lessons, with no contract and no minimum number of sessions. Refunds follow our refund policy.
