Teaching description
Metallurgy basics
The course clarifies the microstructure, properties and engineering applications of metallic alloys in the most significant fields ( for example aerospace, automotive, civil, structural, biomedical).
After the course the students:
1) will know the various types of major engineering alloys in term of microstructure, properties and applications
2) will be able to make decision for material selections for engineering design
3) will know the strengthening method, heat treatments and surface hardening/ modifications to apply with regard the required service properties
Lectures, laboratory practice, individual project
The exam consists of two parts:
- first written part: the student is asked to illustrate theoretical topics
- second part: the student is asked to discuss the laboratory topics and individual project with the lecturer.
Lectures:
1) Metallic alloys application in aerospace, automotive, civil, structural and biomedical fields. 3h
2) Aluminum Alloys: designation, compositions, typical applications, mechanical properties, strengthening methods, corrosion resistance. 5h
2_a Case studies analysis to familiarize with the different Al alloys.
3) Magnesium Alloys: designation, compositions, typical applications, mechanical properties, strengthening methods, corrosion resistance. 4h
