Learning Outcomes

Students will learn to explain basic principles of casting technology. They will also learn to use the relations between design and manufacturing processes of casting, cast materials, casting design principles and how the process parts interact to determine the properties of what is required to create the high quality cast component. Students will be familiar with the most common construction metals, their structure and properties as well as the factor affecting their use. They can also apply material knowledge on the properties of common metallic materials and their behavior in different areas of applications.
