ME 7338 - Nontraditional Manufacturing Processes


Credits: 3

Explores difficult-to-machine materials and the increased geometrical complexity of components that have resulted in the development of nontraditional manufacturing processes based on the application of electrical, chemical, ultrasonic, magnetic, and photonic sources of energy. Introduces fundamentals of materials processing by laser beam, electron beam, ion beam, abrasive waterjet, ultrasonic machining, electro-discharge machining, chemical and electrochemical machining, and hybrid machining (laser beam, plasma arc, and waterjet assisted machining). Emphasizes the additive manufacturing processes as one of the fastest developing disciplines in materials processing. Covers theoretical problems and practical considerations related to the nontraditional manufacturing processes. Prerequisites: ME 3340, ME 3370; a basic understanding of manufacturing processes, mechanical and physical properties of materials, and physics.
