Plan Outline

This entry lists professional electives for a major in Process Metallurgy within the program 3136.

Process metallurgy is concerned with extracting metals from their ores to make refined alloys.

Plan Structure

The plan is designed to produce graduates with training appropriate to the primary metallurgy industry. The profession is very broad and affords opportunities for involvement in many specialist activities in production, technical control or development, in metal or mineral producing industries.

Process Metallurgical Engineering is introduced in Stages 3 and 4 by a number of professional electives and a thesis project. During the course, visits are made to various metallurgical works, and students are required to submit reports on some of these. Students may complete the first one or two years of their degree at their local university engineering school and then transfer with advanced standing to UNSW.

Process Metallurgy Professional Electives:

MATS3003 Eng in Process Metallurgy (6 UOC)
MATS3005 Phase Transformations (6 UOC)
MATS4001 Secondary Processing of Metals (6 UOC)
MATS4002 Design and Advanced Ceramics (6 UOC)
MATS4003 Process Metallurgy Advanced (6 UOC)
MATS4004 Fracture Mechanics & Failure (6 UOC)
MATS4005 Composites and Functional Mats (6 UOC)
MATS4006 Polymer Sci and Engineering 2 (6 UOC)
MATS4007 Engineered Surfaces (6 UOC)

NOTE: MATS3003 is a compulsory elective for this plan.
