- Metallurgy I Units: 3-4

Catalog description

Offers a study of metallurgical properties in an effort to understand both the behavior of metals and their service to industry. Characteristics during heating, cooling, shaping, forming, and the stresses related to their mechanical properties are covered. The theory behind the alloys, heat treatment processes, and the impact they have on strength, toughness, hardness, elasticity, ductility, malleability, wear resistance and fatigue resistance is investigated. This course fulfills the natural sciences degree requirement for nontransferable AAS degrees only.
