MAC 275 - Applied Metallurgy

1. Discuss the general origin and role of materials, metals and alloys in the modern world.
2. Use standard classification systems, for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, to specify and identify common industrial materials.
3. Discuss the basic industrial and manufacturing concepts related to the processes of shaping metals, and how such procedures are specified and described.
4. Perform Rockwell and Brinell hardness tests, and relate the results of these procedures to the basic strength properties of metals and alloys.
5. Describe how the structures of metals and alloys relate to their strength properties, and guide their processing operations.
6. Discuss the basic processes for strengthening metals and performing the common heat-treating procedures.
7. Discuss how the basic concepts of metallurgy apply to machining.
8. Select and develop a project of specific interest that applies metallurgical background.
