The main aim in this course is to give students a general understanding of and introduce to them the modern applications of heat treatment of metallic materials.
The learning outcomes of the course:
-Students will understand and appreciate the importance of heat treatment in controlling mechanical properties of metallic materials.
-Students will be able to design and apply appropriate and suitable heat treatments for given metallic materials and engineering requirements.
-Students will be able to analyze successful or failed applications of heat treatment and will be able to take corrective measures.
-Students will have acquired ability to select furnaces and furnace atmospheres for specific heat treatment applications.
-Students should be able to correlate and analyze selective heat treatments and microstructures that develop.
