Course description and aims

This course in Monday class gives an overview of basic theory and application of powder metallurgy technology by introducing some specific R&D examples of hardmetals as cutting tool applications.
This course in Thursday class gives an overview of amorphous materials, mainly glass materials. Students can extend their knowledge on the fabrication techniques and characterizations of the materials. This course can give the special fabrication techniques and characterization not only for amorphous materials but also general information for various types of materials. The aim of this cause is to widen your knowledge about material research.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

Handouts will be distributed. It is recommended to bring a notebook computer with Windows OS, LAN or wireless LAN since thermodynamic calculation software and Microsoft Excel will be used in the course. Thermodynamic calculation software run only on windows OS will be installed into an individual PC. LAN or wireless LAN will be used to access a license server.
