OVERVIEW

Advanced Manufacturing is the production capability given by the introduction of additive manufacturing techniques in the production chain of innovative industrial goods.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to:
I) identify the properties of the materials and their peculiarities based on the technologies used in the production and transformation processes and especially in the advanced manufacturing applications,
II) carry out an analysis of the applications of advanced manufacturing techniques in the production supply chain and evaluation of the regulatory aspects,
III) analyze the reactivity of the materials used and produced through advanced manufacturing technologies with particular attention to the electrochemical processes of degradation of the chemical and physical properties.
IV) introduce the electrochemical investigation methods for the predictive study of the behavior of materials.
V) deepen the types of materials and the related composite and cer-met structures for electrochemical applications.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

In detail the Course will aim to:

1. Define material properties adopted in AM process of interest
2. Analyze the effective interaction of AM produced devices within the operative environment with detailed evaluation to electrochemical degradation process affecting the final chemical and physical properties of the goods.
3. Provide a comprehensive introduction to electrochemical methods to be adopted in predictive material performances analysis
4. Test with both destructive and non-destructive methodologies the functional features of 3D printed materials underwent chemical degradation treatments.
5. Analyze structure and performances of cer-met, composites and specific metals adopted in electrochemical applications
6. Evaluate industrial AM applications in advanced manufacturing supply chain scenarios along with the operative regulatory framework
