Course overview:
Presents a history of metals—providing background on the origins of various metals
Provides an explanation of physical characteristics of metals, including the reason that metals behave differently than such nonmetals as plastics, wood, glass, etc.
Metals represent a wide range of densities, conductivity and other physical properties
Explains how and why different metals are selected for specific environmental purposes including resistance to wear, to corrosion, to heat, to cold, to repeated stress, to impact, etc.
Describes how much stronger metals can become for various applications by heat treatment
Describes how mechanical properties are measured including descriptions of testing procedures for tensile, impact, fatigue, etc
Describes how metals are alloyed and formed to achieve desired mechanical properties—including comparisons between various forming processes including casting, forging, extrusion, rolling, etc.
Provides basic knowledge on the heat treatment of carbon and alloy steels and some nonferrous alloys to achieve specific property levels. This includes discussion about how alloy additions affect the heat treatability of steels and other alloy bases.
Describes other methods of increasing strength by cold working
Provides information about welding and other joining processes in use today
Discusses why metals corrode and how metals can become more resistant to corrosion with coatings, alloying, electrical methods, and combinations of these along with a discussion about different stainless steel grades.
