DESCRIPTION

Materials and manufacturing (33 lectures/tutorials):

• Standard test procedures for investigating the mechanical properties of materials including both destructive and non-destructive testing.
• Influence of crystalline structure on mechanical properties of materials.
• The use of cold working and annealing in manufacturing processes.
• The interpretation of equilibrium diagrams for metal alloy systems.
• Heat treatment processes used in manufacturing to modify the behaviour of plain carbon steels, alloy steels and age hardening alloys.
• Fatigue behaviour and metallurgical problems associated with welding.
• The properties and importance of timber, ceramics, polymers, composites, Portland cement and concrete.
• The life cycle properties of materials in the context of deterioration.
• Choosing appropriate materials for engineering designs.
• Appreciating the effects of environmental and service conditions on material performance

STAFF: TBA

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, J Indonesia, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Z New Zealand.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, J, K, Q and Z click here for more information.
