Introduction
to Metallurgy
Course Level:
Course Description: A comprehensive study of
refining properties, mechanical properties, and physical properties of ferrous
and nonferrous materials including the theory of alloys, heat treatment, and
testing.
Learning Outcomes: Define the physical and
mechanical properties of ferrous and nonferrous metals; describe the steel
making process; name and describe methods of nondestructive testing; explain
the effects of hot working, cold working, welding, machining, and heat treating
on metal properties; perform common NDT tests to pinpoint failures; define
common metallurgical terms and processes; and recognize common defects and
their causes.
