MTGN 466 - Materials Design: Synthesis, Characterization And Selection

Institution:

Colorado School of Mines

Subject:

Description:

Application of fundamental materials-engineering principles to the design of systems for extraction and synthesis, and to the selection of materials. Systems covered range from those used for metallurgical processing to those used for processing of emergent materials. Microstructural design, characterization and properties evaluation provide the basis for linking synthesis to applications. Selection criteria tied to specific requirements such as corrosion resistance, wear and abrasion resistance, high temperature service, cryogenic service, vacuum systems, automotive systems, electronic and optical systems, high strength/weight ratios, recycling, economics and safety issues. Materials investigated include mature and emergent metallic, ceramic and composite systems used in the manufacturing and fabrication industries. Student-team designactivities including oral- and written-reports. Prerequisite: MTGN351, MTGN352, MTGN445 and MTGN461 or Consent of Instructor. 1 hour lecture, 6 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
