CAM 140 Metallurgy for Manufacturing

Lecture Hours: 1
Lab Hours: 3
Credits: 2

Studies basic metallurgy as it relates to manufacturing processes. Covers the identification of ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals and other materials used in industry. Includes mechanical and physical properties, powder metallurgy, heat treatment, alloying, crystalline structures, effects of machining, casting processes, testing processes.

Student Learning Outcomes:
