MSE 440: Processing of Metallic Materials Instructors: Yuntian Zhu Office: 308 RBII Ph: 513-0559 ytzhu@ncsu.edu Lecture 1 1
Course Description and Objectivessee the Syllabus for more details Course Description (from Catalog): Fundamental concepts of solidification and their application to foundry and welding practices; metal forming concepts applied to forging, rolling, extrusion, drawing, and sheet forming operations; machining mechanisms and methods; powder metallurgy; advanced processing methods including rapid solidification and mechanical alloying. Course Objectives: By the end of the course, you should be able to do the following things: • Understand the physical principles related to the processing of metallic materials such as solidification theory, metal forming theory, theory of chip formation in machining, etc. • Be familiar with the common metal processing technologies both from classroom study and from field trips. • Be able to optimize the design of processing variables to obtain sound material free from defects. 2

Policies and Proceduressee the Syllabus for more details • Test grading: • Written request for changing grade • Missed tests • Makeup test during “dead week”. Only 1 makeup test permitted • Class Resources • Available at http://www.mse.ncsu.edu/zhu/ • Attendance (on campus students) • Attendance expected (0.2% penalty for missing a quiz) 4
Testing and Grading • Where are testing problems from? • Underlined contents in the slides • Homework assignments • Quizzes/class discussions • 440, 540-001 and 540-601 will be graded separately • 540 will have more challenging testing problems • Test 1 30% • Test 2 30% • Final 40% (The final is comprehensive) No grade markup no matter how close Targeted grade distribution: A: 15-25%, B: 30-40% 5
Teaching style • Active student participation in class • A dice will be rolled to determine who participates • 0.2% will be deducted if you are not present in the class to answer a quiz; • 0.2% extra credit will be given if you give the right answer • 0.2% extra credit will be given to a volunteer who gives the right answer • No credit will be given or deducted if you give a wrong answer for regular quizzes. 6
Reading assignments • Questions may be asked to check if you have finished the assignment • Extra credit for those who give right answer • A student will be chosen randomly using dice 7
Field Trips Three field trips are planned, depending on arrangements with metal processing companies. Field trips typically occur on Fridays and are required for on-campus students. Each field trip will result in 0.5% credit for participants See the class website for the dress code for field trips. 8
Quizzes for Online students • Quizzes may be given. • Submission by email to ytzhu@ncsu.edu within 5 days. • Correct answers will be given credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE_4zHNcieM Samurai Sword (47min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea_7Rnd8BTM Steelmaking (10 min) 9
