Industrial Challenges in Metallic Materials Selection

3-0-9 units · Graduate

Advanced metals and alloy design with emphasis in advanced steels and non-ferrous alloys. Applies physical metallurgy concepts to solve specific problems aiming at sustainable, efficient and safer engineered solutions. Discusses industrial challenges involving metallic materials selection and manufacturing for different value chains and industrial segments. Includes applications in essential segments of modern life such as transportation, energy and strutuctural applications. Recognizing steel as an essential engineering material, the course will cover manufacturing and end-uses of advanced steels ranging from microalloyed steels to highly alloyed steels. Materials for very low temperature applications such as superconducting materials and for higher temperature applications such as superalloys will also be covered. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
