Processing Metallic Materials

Catalog description

Examination of metallic materials, including their structures, properties and the processes used to convert them into products. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between microstructural characteristics, physical and mechanical properties and production methods. Connections are made between the properties of metals and their applications. Laboratory experiences include manual and automated production techniques, conditioning processes and characterization methods to quantify process-property-performance relationships. 2 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab. Prereq: ITEC 130.
