MET 252 Physical Metallurgy Credits: (3)
Provides a sound foundation of learning in the area of properties and microstructures of the important ferrous and nonferrous alloys. Also provides a firm foundation relative to the understanding of internal metallic structures of metals. The contents of the course include: metallic structures, the unit cell, atomic radius, planer density, effects of stress and temperature on simple metal structures, ferrous alloys (steel, superalloys, cast iron, ductile iron, malleable iron), phase diagrams, aluminum alloys, heat treatment of metals. Two class hours, three lab hours.
Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate an understanding of various mechanical testing techniques.
- Describe the atomic structure, atomic bonding, and crystal structure of metals.
- Explain the effects of plastic deformation and heat on metals.
- Identify standards and codes used to identify metals.
- Identify carbon steel composition utilizing the Iron-Carbon Phase Diagram.
- Describe various heat treatment techniques and their applications.
