Course Discription |
:
It explores the technology behind different types of manufacturing operations, and the proper application of processes and techniques to transform raw materials into components, and components into assemblies. It focuses on the methods used in the manufacturing and processing of metals, plastics and composites including material removal, bulk deformation, hot and cold forming, casting and molding. It also discusses the products surface qualities and properties according to the manufacturing process utilized. The course covers casting of metals and alloys, rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, cutting, bending, and drawing of sheet metal, traditional, shear process machining (turning, drilling, milling, cutting tools, chip type machining processes), nontraditional machining (like laser, electron beam, water jet) and contemporary topics such as rapid manufacturing, manufacturing of polymers and reinforced plastics. |
