MAT4449   Industrial Training Programme (ITP), Project 4: Metals Processing   (20 credits)

Description

This unit will provide an insight into industrial metals processing and the accompanying environmental aspects of the manufacturing sector for critical applications. This will be a collaboration with UK industries such as Tata Steel, Sheffield Forgemasters, GKN and/or Siemens VAI. Industry will set a real technical challenge and small group sizes will undertake experimental work and present a report that will require an in-depth literature review. To supplement the main technical challenge there will be focussed technical seminars on relevant topics. These topics will be provided by both academics and engineers. In addition, the metals processing industry will provide seminars on environmental aspects, works services and quality issues.
