Course Overview
This course continues from CHSC 1105 Engineering Materials 1. The engineering significance of interrelationships between processing methods, microstructure and properties is studied. The processing routes available for manufacturing stock and products from different materials are examined. Topics covered include: the metallurgy of steels and cast irons and the selection of alloy steels, cast-irons, non-ferrous alloys, polymers, composites, concrete and ceramics for practical applications. Common causes of service failures are discussed, including fatigue, embrittlement and corrosion. Laboratory sessions emphasize the use of mechanical testing, interpretation of microstructures and non-destructive testing, to facilitate understanding of the effects of processing on materials.
