Materials Science and Engineering 663

Non-Ferrous Metallurgy

 

Catalog Data:

Physical metallurgy of important nonferrous alloys; their properties and applications. AU Qtr. Elective

Prerequisites:

MSE 543 and 564.

Time Distribution:

3-48 min lecture classes per week.

Objectives:

This course is designed to give seniors in materials science a detailed knowledge of several important non-ferrous alloy systems; this knowledge includes detailed basic understanding to alloy design principles. ABET Criterion 3 (b), (e) and (k).

Textbooks:

None - References: Several from the metallurgical literature.

Lecture Topics :

  1. Review of strengthening mechanisms
  2. Physical metallurgy of Al (2 classes)
  3. Metallurgy and properties of binary and ternary Al alloys
  4. Description of the commercially designated Al alloys
  5. Physical metallurgy of Ni alloys
  6. Metallurgy and properties of Ni-base superalloys
  7. Physical metallurgy of Ti alloys
  8. Metallurgy and properties of a-Ti alloys, a+b Ti alloys and beta-Ti alloys
  9. Metallurgy and properties of intermetallic compounds
  10. Tests

Grading Plan:

3 major CAE laboratory reports – 3 x 15% = 45%, 10% other homework, 45% midterm examination

Professional Component Content:

3 Credits of Engineering Sciences

Relation to Program Objectives:

This course is consistent with Program Objectives #1 and #2. The course reviews students knowledge of basic science and engineering concepts, and applies these to several non-ferrous materials systems. The course deals thoroughly with structure/property relationships.

Academic Integrity, Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct may be found in any action that tends to distort the accurate assessment of any student’s individual accomplishments that are evaluated for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit. Note that a student may be guilty of academic misconduct, for example, by cheating, collaborating, plagiarizing, or by allowing another student to cheat, collaborate, or plagiarize. Note also that the distortion applies, for example, to exams, homework assignments, and laboratory work. To the extent that any class activity (for example: attendance or participation) is used for evaluation for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit, falsifying or distorting such activity, or permitting another student to falsify or distort such activity, represents academic misconduct.

Additional guidance about what represents academic integrity and misconduct, and related university-wide policies and procedures are available at the following locations:

Course-specific exceptions or amplifications to the departmental and university statements outlined above will be provided by the faculty instructor in writing, preferably as part of the course syllabus.

Note: Students should not request nor accept guidance on these matters from a teaching assistant, fellow student, or anyone other than the faculty instructor of record for this course.

Disabilities Statement

Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the Office for Disability Services at 614-292-3307 in room 150 Pomerene Hall to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
