The theory and practice of the measurement of properties in process and product design of high temperature materials systems will be covered. Bas En 110. The manufacture, properties, uses, performance, and testing of basic, neutral and acid refractories. The development, manufacturing methods, applications, and properties of flat, fiber, container, chemical, and special purpose glasses. The processes occuring in inorganic materials under the influence of an electric field are considered from basic principles.
Emphasis is placed on application to real systems.
Cr Eng 284. Particular attention is given to properties and applications of materials in extreme temperature and chemical environments. A discipline specific design project is required. Designed for the undergraduate student who wishes to engage in research. Not for graduate credit.
