The goal of this course is to establish students' basic understanding of the processes and applications of steel and other alloys. The course content primarily introduces the production, manufacturing, processing, design, analysis, integration, planning, and practical applications of the most widely used modern steel materials. Another part focuses on the production, manufacturing, processing, design, and applications of alloys. In light of increasingly severe material application environments and the trends towards energy-saving and carbon reduction, our school has established an Advanced Special Alloy Engineering Research and Development Center in collaboration with China Steel Corporation, dedicating efforts to the research and development of metal alloy materials. Through the introduction and explanation provided in this course, students will understand the challenges and future developments in various industries, uncovering more application opportunities.
