    Advanced synthesis projects studying microstructure and properties of a series of binary and ternary alloys. Gain hands-on knowledge of materials processing and advanced materials characterization through an integrated series of experiments to develop understanding of the processing-microstructure-properties relationship. Students arc melt a series of alloys, examine the cast microstructures as a function of composition using optical and electron microscopy, DTA, EDS, and XRD. The alloys are treated in different thermal and mechanical processes. The microstructural and mechanical properties modification and changes during these processes are characterized. Groups of students will be assigned different alloy systems, and each group will present their results orally to the class and the final presentation to the whole materials science and engineering group. 3. 000 Credit Hours 1. 000 Lecture hours 6. 000 Lab hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Business, Graduate, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture/Lab, Lab, Lecture Armour College of Engineering College Mechl, Materials & Arspc Engrg Department
