Shape and Property Control of Metals I & II

This course introduces students to the basic concepts of shaping materials and their impacts on properties and structure. An introduction to the fundamentals of diffusion in a solid follows. We present different types of diffusion mechanisms and their dependence on temperature. The role of dislocation on mechanical properties and how it can be used to strengthen materials will be shown.

• Understand fundamentals of material shaping and property effects
• Explain different diffusion mechanisms and temperature dependence
• Analyze the role of dislocations in material strengthening

• Basic high school physics and/or chemistry background
