MATRLS – Materials Technology (Department: 613) MATRLS-102 Credits: 3 Material Testing This lab/lecture course de fi nes properties of engineering materials and then performs tests to measure these properties. ASTM procedures are examined and applied to many of the tests. Tests performed include hardness, tensile, impact, shear, compression, creep and bend testing. The course also covers failure modes such as fatigue and corrosion.

Statistical Process Control This lecture course teaches the basic concepts of quality control and statistical process control (SPC). Histograms, normal distributions, control charts (including x and R, moving range, p and np) and process capability are covered. These tools are applied to common applications in manufacturing and service industries. MATRLS-108 Principles of Metallography This lab/lecture course studies the microstructures of common ferrous alloys (steels and cast irons) and their relationship to chemical composition, thermal cycles and mechanical properties. Phase diagrams are used to understand microstructures. Lab methods covered include sample preparation, microscopic and macroscopic examination, and photography. Prerequisite(s): Complete MATRLS-151. MATRLS-110 Credits: 2 Fundamentals of Heat Treatment of Metals This lab/lecture course studies the microstructure and property changes that occur during heat treatment of steel and cast iron and relates these changes to the iron-carbon phase diagram. Treatments performed include hardening, tempering, normalizing, annealing and surface hardening. Lab work also includes hardness testing and some metallography. MATRLS-151 Credits: 3 Metallurgy and Material Science This lecture/demonstration course studies engineering materials (metals, plastics, ceramics and composites). Topics include re fi ning and recycling of metals, classi fi cation and uses of steels, cast irons, nonferrous alloys, plastics, material properties, phase diagrams, heat treatment, corrosion and solidi fi cation. Atomic structure and nanotechnology are discussed.
