Introduction to manufacturing processes; design criteria for material and process selections. Fundamentals of mechanical behaviour of materials, particularly the yield behaviour under triaxial stresses. Crystal structures; failure modes and the effect of various factors; manufacturing properties of metals. Surface structure and properties; surface texture and roughness; friction, wear, and basic lubrication; surface treatment design. Metal casting processes and equipment; casting design; heat treatment design. The laboratory exercises are: heat treatment, precipitation strengthening, Jominy, centrifugal casting, and impact toughness test.
