DMEI 4315 Alloys for Defense Manufacturing
The study of metallurgy and materials science is crucial for developing advanced materials for diverse applications. This course covers recent developments and current status of various materials, designs, and manufacturing practices which together contribute towards weight reduction of systems used in defense, aerospace, and automotive sectors. The topics covered range from new manufacturing methods such as additive manufacturing (AM), inter-metallics, aluminum-based solutions, near net-shaped processes, ultra-light weight metal foam and honeycomb-based sandwich structures, advanced high strength steels, and magnesium alloy castings. This course also covers specific manufacturing and characterization techniques, property variability and reliability of light weight components.
