Materials Processing

Catalog description

This course, a continuation of CIMN 1110 Machining Processes, introduces students to the basic conserving, joining, and conditioning processes and equipment used in manufacturing including casting, forging, welding, powder metallurgy, plastics, metal forming, heat treatment and surface finishing, hot and cold working, additive manufacturing, and mechanical testing. Laboratory experience requires investigative experimentation into the engineering properties of materials, products of conditioning and welding processes, and the creation and evaluation of aluminum cast parts, with written and oral communication of the analysis, results, and conclusions. Students must provide safety glasses for use in the laboratory and a portable calculator capable of exponents and roots.
