September 4, 1997
THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (KTH)
DEPARTMENT OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
Prof. Rolf Sandström
The course is part of a Scandinavian PhD course programme in aluminium technology given mainly by NTNU (Trondheim) and KTH (Stockholm). The course gives six points (= six weeks full time work) in the Swedish course credit system.
The course emphasises those aspects of aluminium properties and property relations which are important in engineering design and manufacturing.
A university engineering degree in materials technology, physics, chemistry, mechanical or civil engineering or corresponding background.
The course programme covers six days ( two consecutive days at three occasions) with lectures and exercises (the latter using the materials database MATEDS).
Responsible for the course is professor Rolf Sandström, KTH. Lectures will be given by Rolf Sandström and Åke Karlsson (Gränges Technology) and other specialists whose names are given in the programme at the respective heading.
