LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim of the course is to introduce the main peculiar properties of materials according to their production and transformation technology. Particular attention will be devoted to the additive manufacturing processes adopted in the industrial application of AM technologies.

The course will analyze advanced manufacturing issues in the production supply chain as well as compliance to standards.

The reactivity of the produced materials with the environment and their functional degradation, particularly considering electrochemical processes, is an aspect that will be examined in depth during the course. In this context some electrochemical predictive methods will be also introduced.

Materials typically applied in electrochemical energy conversion systems will be further considered with focus on the processes and transformations behind their functional degradation.   

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
