This course examines various failure mechanisms, including corrosion, wear, stress corrosion and fatigue. Problem solving/mitigation methods such as FMEA and 5-Whys will be practiced. There is a significant laboratory component, in which students perform individual failure analysis projects that require competency on metallography, optical microscopy, hardness testing, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Hands-on experience will be gained.
This course builds on the structure-property-processing-performance concepts introduced in ENME207 and ENME307. The focus on NZ relevant failure processes (corrosion, fatigue etc.) and analysis will aid students in complex design tasks in other courses such as ENME408, as well as developing failure analysis skills valuable to their future career.
(1) ENME207 and (2) ENME307, orequivalent or with instructor permission.
