A391 Materials Processing and Characterisation
This module introduces students to the world of materials processing and characterisation, focusing on polymeric, metallic and ceramic materials, with relation to microstructure, properties, applications, and performance of the materials.
Students are exposed to the idea of creating and how to produce new materials with enhanced properties for advanced applications on an industrial scale. In addition, students will be trained to characterise materials' properties in accordance with ASTM standards. Students will also learn how digitalisation is enabling a reinvention of manufacturing.
