Comparison of different manufacturing technologies (forging, extrusion, milling, wire drawing, powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, etc.) in terms of microstructure and mechanical properties; production of concrete reinforcing rods as an example of a low cost product with prefixed mechanical and technological behavior.
- Solidification: difference between ingots and continuous casting. Effect of process parameters on segregation. Examples of numerical simulation.
- Cold and hot forging. Microstructural modification, strengthening mechanisms and defects.
- Welding: microstructural modifications (Fusion Zone and Heat Affected Zone).
Quality control and inspection of welded joints.
- Coatings: thin films (PVD and CVD) and thick coatings (anodic oxidation, thermal spray). Testing to control a coating: hardness, adhesion, thickness, corrosion and wear measurements. Examples of low friction coatings. Quality control and inspection.
