Objectives
On successful completion of this study the student should be able to:
- Critically review recent developments in machining and fabrication processes for the production of engineering components and identify their main areas of application and limitations.
- Describe and apply the relationships between material properties, processing conditions and component service performance.
- Analyse how the physical principles behind the operation of these processes can be used to monitor process capability and performance.
- Apply design rules and fabrication techniques to manufacture micro components.
- Assess different routes for the high volume manufacture of micro components.
