MFGET 564-HEAT TREATMENT AND METALLURGY
Metallurgy Lecture
I. Statement of course.
ETECH 564 The focus of Heat Treatment and Metallurgy is on applied ferrous
and non-ferrous metallurgy. The course explores extraction, development,
physical properties, heat treatment, testing and applications of engineered
metal materials.
II. Objectives and Outcomes.
Instructor Objectives
The Objectives of this course are to:
- Introduce through lecture and demonstration the basic elements of atomic structure and its relationship to metals.
- Describe and demonstrate the steps and procedures for sample preparation and analysis.
- Demonstrate the analysis of engineered metals and their characteristics.
- Through lecture and demonstration disseminate knowledge of criteria on the physical properties of metals and how they can be altered by short and long-range order of the atoms as well as by introducing and controlling imperfections in the atomic arrangement.
- Through laboratory activities develop applied and analytical skills in proper preparation of metallurgical samples by laboratory experimentation and analysis
Student Behavioral Outcomes
As a result of lectures, written assignments, lab demonstration and reading assignments the successful student will be able to:
- List and explain nomenclature associated with the field metallurgy.
- Compose meaningful written analyses of lab results via lab reports.
- List and explain sample preparation procedures.
- Perform the mounting procedures for metal samples.
- Perform the polishing procedures for metal samples.
- Follow proper laboratory analysis and write-up procedures.
- Explain an analyze atomic structure and its relationship to metal
- Explain and analyze the metal structures and properties.
- Explain and analyze the characteristics of ferrous alloys.
- Explain and analyze the characteristics of nonferrous alloys.
- Perform heat treatment procedures on selected metal samples.

V. CLASS ATTENDANCE AND MAKE-UP POLICY.
Each student is expected to attend class regularly. If occasions arise when a
student has to be absent from class, the student must inform the instructor of
the absence before the class starts. If absences are not cleared before the
date of the absence it will be regarded as unexcused. Excessive unexcused
absences (over four) will cause the students grade to drop by one letter grade
for every four unexcused absences. Being late to class three times counts as
one unexcused absence. Calling the office of student services does not
automatically make an absence excused. The instructor is the only person who
can determine whether or not the absence is excused in any particular case.
Tests are to be taken on the date assigned. Students will not be allowed to
reschedule tests. Some flexibility will be allowed for deaths in the family,
child birth, hospitalization and bad weather only!. Students must makes
arrangements with the instructor to retake these tests. The student must also
call before the test to inform the instructor of the absence.
