Principles of Materials Science & Engineering (30137)

Abstract:

Materials science applications in mechanical design, material structure, strengthening mechanisms, mechanical properties of materials (elastic properties, plastic and fracture), properties derived from engineering production processes, cold work processing versus hot work processing, general heat treatments (stress relief, annealing), weld failure preventing, dynamic properties, mechanical properties at high temperatures, the phase diagram. Steels - heat treatments and hardenability, surface hardening, and steal specifications. Aluminum alloys - Heat treatments, Temper designations, welding, coating, and processes.

Metals and Alloys (30151)

Abstract:

This advanced course focuses on the properties of metallic alloys and their applications. The course will review the various groups of metals and applications such as 'metals for general use', 'light metals', metals for corrosive environments', 'metal for elevated temperatures', 'high strength metals and more.

Special emphasis will be given to the mechanical properties and advanced material selection. In addition, we will study common manufacturing processes used in the industry used with metals.
