HCEM 1150 - Applied Failure Analysis
2 Credits
The student will study Applied Failure Analysis.The course will include basic metallurgy, principles of fractures and principles of wear. The course will discuss how these factors affect the failure of parts as related to the engines, hydraulics andpowertrain components used in the heavy equipment industry.We will do case studies from actual part failures from machines used in the industry. The emphasis of this course is to find the root cause of the failure and prevent the failure from occurrng again.This course is required by both the diploma and the A.A.S. student.
Learning Outcomes
Identify the root cause of part failures. Develop and demonstrate the ability to explain the root cause of failures to the customer Identify and analyze the seven most common wear types. Identify and analyze three major fracture types. Understand basic metallurgy and how it applies to part failures.
