MTEN 411 — Physical Metallurgy II
Materials Science and Engineering · University of Ghana
This course presents the physical metallurgy of various ferrous and non-ferrous metals/alloys including the methods of heat treatment, the phase transformation involved, resulting properties and their applications. The principles which determine the microstructures of steels and through these the mechanical properties are outlined. .MTEN 413: Foundry Technology The main aim is for students to appreciate the role of castings in design and material selection and thus understand basic founding principles and processes. Orthodox and modern specialized casting processes are considered in detail and compared. Ferrous and non-ferrous foundings are considered on a comparative basis, and the place of castings in design is critically examined and related to other products. Introduction; Liquid Metals and the Gating of Castings; Solidification 1 - Crystallization and cast structure development; Solidification 2 - the Feeding of Castings; The Moulding Material - Properties, Preparation and Testing; Defects in Castings; Quality Assessment and Control; Casting Design; Production Techniques 1 - the Manufacture of Sand Castings; Mould Production; Melting and Casting; Finishing Operations; Production Techniques 2 - Shell, Investment and Die Casting Techniques; Production Techniques 3 - Further Casting techniques; Environmental Protection, Health and Safety.
