To be successful in manufacturing high performance components using any digital manufacturing technology, a great breadth of knowledge in materials engineering is indispensable. Therefore, this course is custom designed to provide an overview of various material science and engineering principles that are relevant in digital manufacturing such as solidification behaviour, microstructure engineering, the interplay between material properties, mechanical requirements, and production etc. After completing this course, the students shall:
1. Have acquired a basic information of material science and engineering concepts relevant to digital manufacturing such as solidification behaviour, microstructure engineering, powder metallurgy and sintering, heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing, the interplay between material properties, mechanical requirements, and production etc. to succeed in developing high performance components using novel materials through different digital manufacturing processes;
2. Have attained a broader ability to utilize advance materials characterization tools to study digitally manufactured components as well as the raw materials (feedstock) used in various digital manufacturing processes;
3. Be able to utilize different types of feedstock materials such as Solid (wire & powder) and or Liquid (Suspension & Solution precursor) etc. and their significance in various digital manufacturing processes;
The aim of the course is to provide an overview of various material science and engineering principles that are relevant in digital manufacturing such as solidification behaviour, microstructure engineering, the interplay between material properties, mechanical requirements, and production etc.
