ML1603 Materials and Manufacturing, Basic Course 6.0 credits

• Physics, chemistry and metallography fundamentals of iron-based and other metals, polymers, ceramics, composite materials and powder metallurgy materials
• Testing methods
• Shape-forming processes e g moulding and other forming methods
• Material removal manufacturing processes e g lathing, laser cutting and punching
• Corrosion
• Polymer materials

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• describe properties and use of common engineering materials
• describe basic manufacturing processes, machine types and materials handling equipment
• choose appropriate manufacturing processes from context and have understanding which possibilities and limitations they have
• draw conclusions about how and of which materials existing products are produced, as well as explain how environmental and economic aspects influence this

• LAB2 - Laboratory work, manufacturing, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Written examination, 4.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• LAB1 - Laboratory work, materials, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
