MetE 304 is designed to emphasize basic principles of industrial metal working
theory with the concepts to improve the production in metal-forming industry to
junior students in the metallurgical and materials engineering department. Insight
into the effects of several parameters during shaping of materials on the process
itself and on the final mechanical properties such as deformation speed and amount
of deformation is to be given. In the course, classical analysis methods (slab,
upper-bound, etc.) and also finite element method, which is a very effective tool
for design and analysis of metalworking processes, will be introduced.
