Course Objective

This course is aimed to give a broad outline of non-ferrous alloys as engineering materials. Through the course, information on the structures, properties and applications of these alloys is presented. The objective of the course is to familiarize the student with the structures and properties of the major non ferrous alloys and their applications so that they will be able to make a decision for selecting a material for engineering designs. The course will also provide a base for in depth study and research in the area.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to discuss classifications, applications and the general properties of several non-ferrous metals and make correct and appropriate use of technical terminology in these subjects (areas)
2   To be able to identify the required specifications of several non-ferrous metals alloys in definite applications
3   To be able to explain the relationships between structure, properties and processing in non-ferrous metals alloys
4   To be able to evaluate the strengthening mechanisms and relationships between them and the effects on the other properties in non-ferrous metals and their alloys
5   To be able to design and determine the processing route for the non-ferrous alloys with required properties by accounting the functions and variations of the related parameters for the production and processing
6   To be able to select and make a decision on appropriate material for a definite engineering design and application
7   To be able to present a research realized theoretically and/or experimentally and its results about metals and alloys, in written and verbal (oral) ways
8   To be able to acquire the required knowledge and professional experimentation accumulation for applying and developing the theoretical background on the materials-production-product-performance relationships
