Abstract

A graduate course in Green Engineering has been offered at WPI for several years. The students in this course are seniors and graduate students from many majors including: materials, manufacturing, mechanical, civil and environmental engineering as well as biology. The course is taught using a series of projects as well guest lecturers. In this paper our positive and negative experiences will be presented.

Augmenting MatML with Heat Treating Semantics

Abstract

This paper describes a "Quenching Element" proposed as an extension to "MatML", the XML for "Materials Property Data". The Quenching Element aims to augment MatML with the semantics of the "Heat Treating of Materials", thus aiming to be a widespread standard for web-based data storage and exchange in Heat Treating.

Quenching: Understanding, Controlling and Optimizing the Process

Abstract

While quenching is a critical commercial heat treating process the current systems to control and optimize this process are not fully developed. In this paper the need for a reliable, robust quench probe will be presented followed by the possible use of a quench probe for process control.
