ME 230 - Engineering Materials

Class Hours: 3, Units: 3
Prerequisite(s): CHE 110
Examination of the properties of materials from the atomic level through the molecular levels, looking at crystal structure. Emphasis is on metals, but nonmetals are discussed. Mechanical properties, creep, fatigue, corrosion, and failure characteristics are discussed. Phase Diagrams and thermal processing are also studied. Applying material properties in design is also discussed.
