MENG 171 - Engineering Materials

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 75

Restricted to students in Mechanical Engineering Technology
Students will examine material properties for a wide variety of ferrous and nonferrous engineering materials along with property modification using alloying, surface treatment and heat treatment. Use of phase diagrams, time-temperature transformation (TTT) diagrams, and microstructure analysis will also be covered. Various polymeric materials, adhesives, ceramics, glasses, and corrosion protection using coatings and plating will be examined. Through a series of case studies, students will learn about the selection and application of appropriate engineering materials.
