Course overview and goals
[Overview] Students will further develop what they learned in Non-Ferrous Metal Materials A-B, and gain an understanding for mainly non-ferrous metal materials of advanced adaptive processes and material organization and properties derived from those processes, as well as deepen their understanding of non-ferrous metal materials used for diverse purposes.
[Purpose] By combining the basic knowledge learned in Non-Ferrous Metal Materials with the knowledge acquired in this course on advanced processes, students will learn materials design guidelines for using non-ferrous metal materials in a variety of industrial situations.
Course description and aims
[Objectives] This course is mainly aimed at students who have taken Non-Ferrous Metals Materials Science. Students will gain a systematic understanding of advanced process technology for non-ferrous metal materials, and connect the organization and properties of non-ferrous metal materials used for special uses to understand them. Finally students will acquire material design methods for advanced non-ferrous metal materials.
[Topics] Students will study the characteristic organization and properties from individual processes for non-ferrous metal materials produced and used with advanced process technologies, and study application-oriented properties.
