Intended learning outcomes
The intended learning outcomes of the course is to familiarise the student with the material aspects of manufacturing technology. After completed course the student should:
- Understand the basic physical metallurgy of Steels, Aluminium alloys, Titanium alloys and Nickel-base superalloys.
- Understand the interaction between processing, microstructure and properties of metallic materials.
- Understand the possibilities and challenges of different manufacturing techniques from a materials perspective.
- Be able to select suitable manufacturing method for a specific material.
- Be able to select suitable material for a specific manufacturing method.
- Be able to applied this knowledge when communicating and solving industrial problems.
Course content
- Material aspects on industrial manufacturing processes, like casting, welding, metal forming, forging, metal cutting, and additive manufacturing.
- Phase diagrams and alloy theory
- Solidification and diffusion
- Work-hardening and annealing
- Steel transformations
- Precipitation hardening
- Microstructure and properties of the most common groups of metallic materials; Steel, Cast iron, Aluminium, Titan- and Nickel-based alloys
- Heat treatments and surface treatments
Teaching and working methods
The course consist of lectures, tutorials, laboratory work and home assignments.

About teaching and examination language
The teaching language is presented in the Overview tab for each course. The examination language relates to the teaching language as follows:
- If teaching language is “Swedish”, the course as a whole could be given in Swedish, or partly in English. Examination language is Swedish, but parts of the examination can be in English.
- If teaching language is “English”, the course as a whole is taught in English. Examination language is English.
- If teaching language is “Swedish/English”, the course as a whole will be taught in English if students without prior knowledge of the Swedish language participate. Examination language is Swedish or English depending on teaching language.
Other
The course is conducted in such a way that there are equal opportunities with regard to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age.
The planning and implementation of a course should correspond to the course syllabus. The course evaluation should therefore be conducted with the course syllabus as a starting point.
The course is campus-based at the location specified for the course, unless otherwise stated under “Teaching and working methods”. Please note, in a campus-based course occasional remote sessions could be included.
