Materials are "substances that make useful devices for human beings" and materials are seen as milestones in the evolution of human society. Because of the material understanding and use of ability, determines the shape of society and the quality of human life. Thermal manufacturing refers to the use of materials at different temperatures under the physical and mechanical properties and to achieve its shape, composition, texture and performance control technology, thermal manufacturing process is the scientific use of materials, thermal and mechanical behavior forming parts or manufacturing structure Its technical fields include thermal processing technologies such as casting, forging, welding, rolling, extrusion etc, as well as manufacturing technologies such as powder metallurgy, high-energy beam processing and rheological forming etc. Modern manufacturing technologies are multidisciplinary high-tech fields, Is the key to the application of new materials and new structures. Mold is to achieve the material manufacturing process tools.Mold is the king of material processing industry and mold industry is the mother of modern industry.
The course "Materials Thermal Manufacture and Mold - Development and Discussion" will explain engineering problems in simple terms. Through the introduction and analysis of the three elements that affect the performance of industrial products: the basic concepts of materials, processes and tools, the scientific basis, the evolution and the future trends. The students are given a comparative advantage in industrial products and technologies in a relatively short period of time clear understanding, through further analysis and discussion, to stimulate students interest in professional learning. Through the elective this course, students can feel the charm of metal materials, to understand the thermal manufacturing (forming) process characteristics and mold design and manufacturing cross-integration and mutual promotion of development.
