Materials Chemistry, 10 credits, and participation in Materials in Engineering Systems, 10 credits, and Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces, 5 credits.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to:
- account for how rawmaterials for common industrial products are produced.
- explain the principles for manufacturing of different materials in bulk (metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, paper)
- understand how the properties of materials influence the choice welding methods of within and between different types of materials
- understand and argue for different methods of forming, depending on material.
- For a given material judge what is a suitable method for manufacturing, forming and welding, for small and large scale production respectively
- understand the influence of economical, ethical and environmental aspects when choosing a method.
Content
The course gives an overview of different methods for industrial materials manufacturing processes, and of methods for forming and welding of materials. Manufacturing methods in relation to type of bonding and microstructure. Group projects and seminars illustrates different technical and chemical aspects. Insight into different branches of Swedish industry.
Instruction
Guest lectures and seminars, project work, excursion and lectures.
Assessment
Written examination (3 credits), written and oral presentations, and by active participation in seminars (2 credits). The final grade represents a weighed sum of the results of all the course components.
