Surface Engineering and Coating Technology

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Surface Engineering and Coating Technology
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1.assess the importance and needs of surface engineering in products and demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of surface engineering technologies and their fundamental principles; 2.describe the potential of surface engineering technologies for the control of wear, corrosion and fatigue of engineering components. Distinguish materials behavior under different surface loading conditions and work environments; 3.clarify the characteristic relationships between coating processes, their parameters and surface properties applied in resolving issues and problems concerning the production of discrete products and solve these problems in a systematic manner; 4.choose suitable coating processes and materials for the manufacture of a product; 5.show skills in measurement techniques and characterization of industrial coated surfaces.
Omschrijving	The course provides a wide overview and insight on the variety of surface treatments and coating technologies with an emphasis on the fabrication, characterization and application of hard coatings. The course covers general concepts of surface engineering, most important techniques for fabrication and characterization of surface layers, main applications of hard coatings, and some forefront super hard coatings.

Verplichte literatuur	Titel Auteur ISBN Prijs Advanced Surface Technology P. Moller, L.P. Nielsen 9788792765239 Additional material includes instructional video clips accessible with links, websites. Lecture notes are posted online after the relevant lecture is given so that students have to take their own notes during lecture.
Entreevoorwaarden	The course unit assumes prior knowledge acquired from fundamental courses such as “Materials Science and Engineering” and “Mechanics for TBK” that are mandatory in the Production Technology and Logistics (PTL) track of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) Bachelor programme. The course unit serves as a bridge between the prerequisite courses mentioned above and subsequent courses such as “Multiscale Contact Mechanics & Tribology” and “Surface and Interface”. It prepares students interested in conducting their Mater’s dissertation research on surface engineering and advanced coating technologies, materials processing, mechanical design and engineering-related topics that are of special interest to the Advanced Production Engineering (APE) research group. This course has a limited capacity. - IEM students can always enter the course. - Students from other programmes for which this is a *compulsory* course, can always enter the course.
Opmerkingen	To be able to pass the final exam, the material of the course has to be mastered at various cognitive levels. In some questions the students are asked to perform calculations that have been taught in the lectures; in other questions the application of encountered concepts to real problems is required. The questions in the final exam, normally 4 or 5, consist of several sub-questions. Care is taken that these sub-questions cover all the levels of attainment and can be answered individually. The grading process is stabilized by the sub-questions with pre-defined number of points that can be obtained. The number of points per main questions is always indicated on the exam. The final grade is calculated from the exam grade, the average grade of six homework assignments and the literature review assignment (report). The exam grade comprises 50% of the final grade, and the average grade of six homework assignments constitutes 25% of the final grade with an equal weight factor for each assignment. The literature review assignment constitutes 25% of the final grade. Students must receive a final grade of at least 5.5 to pass the course with an assigned grade of 6.0, and the assigned grades are rounded to half-point increments (i.e. > 5.5 & <6.25 rounded to 6.0; > 6.25 & < 6.75 rounded to 6.5, etc.). This course was registered last year with course code WMIE14002
