Learning outcomes
On completion of the course the student shall be able to:
- describe different processes for producing metal powder,
- explain the powder properties that can be measured and describe techniques for this,
- describe how powder properties can be affected by alloy composition and handling,
- account for the impact of production methods on the generic properties of the powder,
- describe and evaluate different powder processing paths for use in additive manufacturing.
Content
Use of metal powder in additive manufacturing. Methods for metal powder production. Powder properties and powder characterization methods. Handling of metal powders. Processing of metal powders.
Instruction
Lectures, home assignment and laboratory session.
Assessment
Home assignment (2 credits), laboratory work (1 credit) and written exam (2 credits).
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
