Course content
In recent years, the development of materials, including steel, has been remarkable, and competition is intensifying in countries around the world. Among them, research is actively being conducted on how to develop materials with added value, and on the other hand, to make them environmentally friendly. Therefore, in this lesson, we will focus on the development of materials with added value and learn what materials have been developed and how they have been applied so far. Furthermore, we will study the current state of development of medical materials that will be even more active in the future, and look at future trends.
Purpose of class
① To learn the characteristics required for molding materials (primary molding, secondary molding). To learn the basic properties (mechanical properties, strengths, weaknesses) of functional materials such as steel materials, non-ferrous metal materials, composite materials, and fiber reinforcements.
② The purpose of this module is to find out why they could be applied (including the results) and the reasons from the cases where they were applied, and to develop the ability to think deeply so that they can propose appropriate materials in the actual field.
③ In this class, we will learn the molding method of various materials to be handled, study the application range of various functional materials, and acquire the ability to propose "The right person in the right place".
Goals and objectives
  1. To explain the functional materials such as steel materials, non-ferrous metal materials, composite materials, and fiber reinforcements.
  2. To explain the molding method of functional materials such as steel materials, non-ferrous metal materials, composite materials, and fiber reinforcements.
  3. We can propose weight reduction methods and design guidelines.
