This self-study course is designed to be taken at your
convenience and on your own schedule. You have
90
days to finish the course once you begin.
This course explores the enhancement of mechanical and thermal
properties of metals through the infusion of various
nano-materials. It discusses the various nano-materials and
compatible metals, the mechanical and high temperature properties
of nanometals, and the results of published experiments, which use
a variety of metals and nano-materials. In addition, the course
covers the relative advantages and disadvantages of various
manufacturing processes used for fabricating nanocomposites.
You will learn:
- How the infusion of nano-materials improves the
thermal-mechanical properties of metals
- The effects of electrical erosion on metals
- How the infusion of nano-materials improves electrical erosion
resistance of metals
- The various processing methods for nano-materials infused
metals, known as metal matrix nanocomposites, or MMNCs
Who should attend:
Engineers, managers and students who wish to learn more about
nanotechnology and nanometals.
