COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Describe the basic classification of metals, crystal structures and various material properties.

2. Explain the manufacturing, identification, phase diagram, heat treatment processes and deformation of iron and iron alloys.

 

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Describe the basic properties of all metals.

2. Describe the process of mining, extraction and refining of ores to metals.

3. Identify metals and alloys using the periodical table of elements or tables of alloys numbering systems.

4. Explain various crystal structures.

5. Explain heat treatment processes and surface hardening techniques pertinent to steel alloys.

6. Use handout materials, text, and library materials to do research on metallurgical alloys.
