Investigates the properties of ferrous metals and tests to determine their uses. Instructions will include some chemical metallurgy to provide a background for the understanding of the physical changes and causes of these changes in metals. Physical. metallurgy of ferrous metals, producing iron and steel, theor.y of alloys, shaping and forming, heat treatments for steel, surface treatments, alloy of special steel, classification of steels, and cast iron will be topics for study.
Continuation of the study of physical metallurgy. The non- ferrous metals: bearing metals, (brass, bronze, lead), light metals (aluminum and magnesium), and copper and its alloys are studied.. Powder metallurgy, titanium, zirconium, indium, vanadium, and also plastics are. includ.ed in this course. 100

This course is arranged to give the student a general knowledge of the basic components of hydraulic systems, as well as a general understanding of the basic laws and formulas used in simple hydraulic calculations. Topics . included are: the use of standard hydraulic symbols, pumps, control valves, control assemblies, actuators, and basic maintenance procedures.
This course is designed to equip the sheet metal worker with the necessary technical knowledge to allow the trainee to become proficient in principles and practices of sheet metal layout and fabrication. The related mathematics, blueprint reading, sketching, drawing of layouts, and the using of the tools of the trade are corelated in planning.and producing the basic projects. Surface development methods of 'prisms and other geometrical objects by the parallel line method are used to develop the projects. Spray painting of various production finishes is taught along with the different methods of corrosion prevention by using protective coatings.
A comprehensive knowledge of the principles of radial line development is obtained through this course. Drawings and fabrication of various fittings are made by using the round pipe parallel line develppment method, various conical objects using radial line method, and transition pieces using triangulation method. A brief written description of the procedure used in laying out and fabricating the fitting is necessary. Miscellaneous sheet metal fittings are developed and made in the shop. Weather caps, suction hook-ups, dust collectors and various ventilation systems are examples of these principles. Applied mathematics is used in determining the areas, volumes of· air and other problems.
A study is made of working drawings, detailing, and layout for domestic and commercial installations; projects and fittings for exhaust, blow-pipe, refuse collecting systems; the application of sheet metal formulas are in determining the area and volume of various ·fittings and projects. A thorough understanding of the. principles of triangulation, the method used to Jay out patterns of irregular objects is developed. Skill in pattern development is acquired through the layout methods used for a variety of fittings and objects to be made in the shop, such as square-to-rounds, Y-branches, shoe tees, dust collectors, fume hoods and other transitions.
An advanced study is made by developing working drawings and layout patterns for intricate ar.ticles, fittings,. a11d projects in all branches of sh metal work. Projects such as, rectangular-to-round double offset, psychrometric processes and charts, elbows, boots, estimating for. air conditioning, such as cooling and heating loads. A brief description of the procedure used in laying out or estimating the. problems is required when these layouts are made and when short cuts are stressed in developing skills that save time, materials, and effort.
