Course offering missing
Course offering missing for current semester as well as for previous and coming semestersContent and learning outcomes
Course contents
- Survey of engineering materials and manufacturing methods
- Properties of materials
- Steel, aluminum and its alloys and plastics
- Forming methods, i.e. casting and forging
- Machining, i.e. turning and grinding
- Selection of materials and manufacturing methods
Intended learning outcomes
The main purpose of the course is that the student will have a basic knowledge of engineering materials and manufacturing methods used in the manufacturing industries of today.
After the course the student will be able to:
- Describe properties and field of application of the most common engineering materials
- Explain how properties and fields of application interact for the most common engineering materials
- Describe common manufacturing methods
- Explain in which connection these manufacturing methods are used and which prospects or limitations they have
- Analyze a problem associated with a product and propose material and manufacturing methods also taking economic an eviromental aspects in consideration.
