Prerequisite Modules:
Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
To provide the student with a basic knowledge and experience the properties of engineering materials are how they are processed and fabricated.
To emphasise the importance of safety in the engineering environment.
To provide the student with the knowledge to select an appropriate material for the manufacture of an engineering component or structure.
Syllabus:
Safety in the Laboratory.
Production of materials - metals and plastics.
Properties of materials รป yield and tensile strength. Fracture and toughness.
Factors influencing the selection and processing of materials.
Measuring instruments.
Basic machining Cutting tool geometry and materials. Chip formation. Hand processing and surface treatment of materials.
Metal Forming - Cold, warm and hot metal forming techniques
Learning Outcomes:
Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
1. Describe the main processes by which metals and plastics can be formed.
2. Describe the processes involved in the production of various metals
3. Select a suitable material for particular engineering applications.
4. Appreciate the range of mechanical properties of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
5. Design a basic heat treatment programme to impart specific properties in a metal
6. Given an engineering drawing for a component, the student will be able to derive the manufacturing sequence to produce the component
7. Correctly identify how engineering components are made and explain the effect that shaping processes have on the properties of the material.
