MJEG 6223 - Advanced Materials Manufacturing Technologies

Manufacturing and engineering performance of dispersion- strengthened metals, powder-metallurgy products, ceramic- and polymeric-composites are discussed. Emphasis is placed on solid-state joining technologies such as induction- and laser brazing, friction stir welding, surface modification techniques for improved wear and corrosion performance, etc. Multi-component layers in rapid-prototyping and dissimilar structural combinations are examined for the microelectronics, biomedical and aerospace industries. Laboratory includes use of advanced analytical evaluation techniques such as the Scanning Electron Microscope. Class 3. Prerequisite(s): MJEG 4404 or equivalent.
