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.
