Course Description

This course introduces the principles of manufacture of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and their alloys,
thermal insulating, and corrosive resisting materials. The course covers the basics of physical
metallurgy, powder metallurgy, shaping, forming, casting, plastic molding, heat treatment processes
and joining techniques of industrial materials. Laboratory applications focus on physical microstructure
examination of engineering materials. The student receives appropriate practical experience in carrying
out heat treatments and the study of their effects on the material, microstructures and mechanical
properties.
