Syllabus

Advanced technologies as a driver of metatechnology associated to a product. Technological vector of the matrix product. The advanced technologies available on the market with interest to mechanical engineering – 2D to 3D technologies. Surface modification technologies-treatments by diffusion and implantation; treatments for deposition of a coating: coatings thin and thick. 3D technologies-technologies for processing powders: metal alloys, ceramic materials and composites; the characteristics of powders and processing; processing types: shaping (pressing and injection) and consolidation/sintering (temperature and pressure); role of laser. 3D technologies "near net shape": role of powders and specific treatments; the control parameters. Micromanufacturing - definition; subtractive processes; replicatives (micro PIM and hot embossing) and additives processes; other processes. Comparative analysis of costs.
