MT 4201 - Industrial Materials3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course continues the study of industrially important materials and processing methods with an emphasis on the relationship between structure, properties and processing. Topics include strengthening mechanisms in metals, phase diagrams, heat treating, plastic properties, and failure modes for metals and plastics. The course includes a lab component for the verification of heat-treating steel, brass, aluminum, and for testing of mechanical properties. (prereq: CH 310 , MT 1201 , MT 205 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• have knowledge of the heat treating processes, resulting properties and common temper designations for various commercial alloy systems
• have knowledge of the influence of carbon and heat treatment on the properties of steel
• describe the more common failure modes for metals and plastics, such as Ductile Fracture, Brittle Fracture, fatigue, impact and creep
• evaluate the results of hardness and tensile tests
