The course introduces the students to industrially significant nonferrous metals and alloys such as aluminum, titanium, magnesium, nickel and copper. The structure and properties of specific industrial grades will be presented. Relevant primary manufacturing processes such as casting, rolling, forging and extrusion will be discussed. Advanced manufacturing processes such as metals foams, vapor deposition, rapid solidification processing and metallic glasses, poweder metallurgy and sintering will also be covered. Finishing processes and heat treatments will be demonstrated.
