MAS144 Materials and Manufacturing

Contents and structure

How the composition of the materials affects material properties, and characteristic properties of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. For metals, the effect of heat treatment, processing and chemical composition of steel and aluminum. Corrosion as a thermodynamic process, as well as electrochemical processes such as the electromotive force. The galvanic series and types of corrosion resistant materials and corrosion prevention. Mechanical properties and tests, destructive and non-destructive. Molding and plastic processing, welding and cutting processes. Machining processes such as lathe, milling, drilling and grinding. Computer-aided manufacturing and industrial robots in manufacturing processes.
