Course
Overview:
- Presents a history
of metals-providing background on the origins of
various metals
- Provides an
explanation of physical characteristics of metals,
including the reason that metals behave differently
than such nonmetals as plastics, wood, glass, etc.
- Metals represent a
wide range of densities, conductivity and other
physical properties
- Explains how and
why different metals are selected for specific
environmental purposes including resistance to wear,
to corrosion, to heat, to cold, to repeated stress,
to impact, etc.
- Describes how much
stronger metals can become for various applications
by heat treatment
- Describes how
mechanical properties are measured including
descriptions of testing procedures for tensile,
impact, fatigue, etc.
- Describes how
metals are alloyed and formed to achieve desired
mechanical properties-including comparisons between
various forming processes including casting,
forging, extrusion, rolling, etc.
- Provides basic
date on the heat treatment of carbon and alloy
steels and some nonferrous alloys to achieve
specific property levels. This includes discussion
about how alloy additions affect the heat
treatability of steels and other alloy bases.
- Describes other
methods of increasing strength by cold working
- Provides
information about welding and other joining
processes in use today
- Discusses why
metals corrode and how metals can become more
resistant to corrosion with coatings, alloying,
electrical methods, and combinations of these along
with a discussion about different stainless steel
grades.
What You'll Learn:
- How metals are recovered from nature and
processed into usable form
- How different metal/alloy systems differ in both
physical and mechanical properties
- How phase diagrams help determine how alloys
will behave
- Factors that affect selection of the correct
material for the job
- Mechanical properties and various testing
methods for metals and alloys
- How heat treatment can provide a wide range of
properties in steels and other alloys
- An introduction to the mechanism of corrosion
and protection
- An introduction to various joining processes
including welding, brazing, and soldering
