ENGG 256 - Practical Materials Science

Institution:

College of Marin

Subject:

Description:

(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Advisories: Physics, chemistry, and metal shop helpful. Two lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Mechanical properties of metals (with emphasis on steels) and some plastics resulting from their internal structures, methods of production and fabrication, heat treatments, deformations, and chemical environments. Weekly labs include treatments, preparations, standard tests, and examinations of specimens to show clearly how properties such as strength and hardness vary between different materials, and between specimens of the same material that have had different treatments. Brief coverage of composites (concrete and/or wood) may be included, depending on class composition. (CSU)
