AMR132   Manufacturing Processes and Materials Engineering   (20 credits)

Description

To introduce students to materials and manufacturing processes. The major classes of materials, their properties, corresponding testing techniques, and their behaviour under a variety of loading conditions are explained. The major classes of manufacturing processes are introduced, including the equipment used, materials to which they can be applied, products which they can produce and their respective advantages and limitations. The importance of the interrelationships between manufacturing methods, microstructure and mechanical properties of materials are highlighted through real-life examples. The module uses both qualitative and quantitative techniques to support the key principles taught. Assessment will be through lab work and exams.
