Tecnologia Mecânica

Materials – materials science and engineering fundamentals

The teaching methodology is based on the presentation of the theoretical foundations of each technological process of plastic forming and
welding techniques, as well as their potential or practical implications, consolidated with exercises and laboratory practice.

The Laboratory Component has the following operating conditions:

• Use of a lab coat and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) suitable for the activity being carried out;
• Compliance with the mandatory laboratory safety rules.

To acquire knowledge which allow manipulate materials to construct components, equipments and systems by mechanical technology plastic deformation, casting and new additive processes, welding and thermal cutting process.
Generics skills: To provide necessary knowledge about properties and applications of main engineering materials. Specific skills: To know principles of physics, operational features and practical applications of the forming processes by plastic deformation or by casting.
