The art of material and process selection is a complex field of subject. Finding the most suitable materials and processes for a specified product requires a stringent procedure and knowledge from different engineering areas. The course aims to give applied skills regarding methodology to perform advanced material and process selection through presented theories and by use of a software tool (CES EduPack). The software consists of comprehensive databases covering material and process related data important to perform an optimized selection. Parameters and properties that determine the final choice of material can for example be mechanical loads, chemical environment, operating temperature etc. The selected material and the product design determine possible manufacturing processes. The outline of the course is: definitions and terminology design and design process engineering materials and their properties material property charts methodology during material and process selection The course consists of a number of given lectures and exercises. However, a major part of the course is to individually perform compulsory exercises, computer modelling and projects.
