ME 252 - Materials Science

Credits: 2.5
Also offered as: PHYS 252.

A study of structure-property-processing relationships of engineering materials related to their selection in design and manufacturing processes. Methods of controlling structure and mechanical properties of materials are studied with an emphasis on the strengthening mechanisms. Processes studied include solidification, phase transformation, and mechanical working of metals.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 132 and CHEM 115 or CHEM 121.
