Course Objective

The quality and durability of metallic components depend entirely on the surface properties, as the environment, friction and cyclic loading directly affect the surface of materials. The course aims to outline the effects of environment, friction and cyclic loading on failure, and explain the surface treatments applied in practice in order to delay the failure.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To know the failure coused by corrosion, wear and fatigue,
2   To explain the effect of surface properties to reduce damage and retard failure,
3   To know the surface treatments to reduce or eliminate the effects of service environment,
4   To know the surface treatments to reduce or eliminate the effects of friction and wear,
5   To know the surface treatments to reduce or eliminate the effects of cyclic loading.
6   To choose the suitable surface treatment for a component for a given application.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Midterm exams and final exams related to learning outcomes are given as usual closed book and closed note written exams. Homework presentations will also be included in the term time assessment.

Assessment Criteria

Midterm exam results and homework grades will make up term time grade, which will be added to the contribution of the final exam result to determine the course grade.

Language of Instruction

English
