Material Selection



Details :

This course is designed to give participants information to decide the best possible engineering materials choice for their design requirements like principles and practice of materials selection in mechanical design, effect of shape on selection, economic aspects, use of data sources, material indices, generation and use of material selection charts, election of fabrication method, concurrent and compound objectives.
