Course Learning Outcomes:

  1. Identify and explain the process configurations in Machining (turning, milling & drilling), Metal Forming (forging, rolling, extrusion, bending, deep drawing & shearing), Welding (fusion & solid-state welding), Casting (mold & continuous casting) and Additive Manufacturing (3D printing & laser powder deposition).
  2. Explain and apply terminologies for dimensional tolerances and surface roughness in laboratory measurements and technical drawings.
  3. Describe the kinematics of cutting operations, explain the mechanisms of chip formation and calculate the material removal rate in various machining operations such as turning, milling and drilling.
  4. Explain fundamental aspects of stress-strain relationship in metal forming, mechanical testing, yield criteria for various engineering materials.
  5. Calculate force and power requirements in metal forming operations, including: forging, extrusion, rolling, bending & shearing.
  6. Identify the solidification phenomenon and development of macro- and microstructure in casting, welding and additive manufacturing.
  7. Explain the effect of fluid flow and viscosity in casting and calculate the required heat input in relation to process variables in welding operations.
