Materials Processing

Catalog description

Offers students an opportunity to learn the fundamental principles of materials processing. Discusses a variety of ferrous and nonferrous metals, alloys, ceramics, and plastics in terms of processing methods, technologies, and manufacturability. Considers microstructural changes related to product performance and specifications. Uses phase diagrams and isothermal transformational diagrams to explain materials transformations and properties. Evaluates thermal, mechanical, composite, joining, surface engineering, and other processing methods from the point of view of applications, scalability, and cost.
