ME 482 — Engineering Materials Processing
BSc BSc Mechanical Engineering · Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
Objectives This course strives to enable students to: Tell the effects of alloying elements on the microstructure and properties of steel and identify at least one alloying element that produces a given effect in steel Understand the ways in which structure, processing and properties interact to establish the final properties of engineering materials Describe the common heat treatment processes, such as normalizing, hardening, annealing, tempering etc. Know the description, common definition, and different classes and uses of tool steels; Articulate the broad divisions of non-metallic engineering materials and their properties, appreciate their growing importance in engineering applications and know the factors that govern their selection Content Study of selected engineering materials: alloy steels, tool steels and cast irons. Heat treatment of steels and castings including surface hardening. Non-metallic such as plastics, elastomers, ceramics, and composites materials. Brief review of the most commonly used mechanical engineering materials. Processing of metals and its effect on material structure and properties. Mode of Delivery The mode of delivery of this course will be blended i.e., in person and online Reading Materials William D.
