Abstract:
With the deepening of the Emerging Engineering Education initiative, the course of metal hot working is facing an urgent demand for shifting its focus from traditional "shape forming" to "property control." Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel, as a candidate material for Generation IV nuclear energy systems, represents the interdisciplinary frontier of materials genetic engineering and intelligent manufacturing through its additive manufacturing and heat treatment processes. To address the existing problems in current hot working instruction—such as the disconnection between process and material, the lag in introducing cutting-edge technologies, and the monotony of experimental methods—this paper proposes a teaching reform scheme of constructing a "full-process instructional design for additively manufactured ODS steel." By introducing a project-based teaching model featuring "powder design-laser forming—microstructural characterization—heat treatment control," the scientific logic linking microstructural evolution and macroscopic property regulation is consistently emphasized throughout the course. Practice shows that this reform scheme can significantly enhance students' ability to solve complex engineering problems, providing support for cultivating outstanding engineers with interdisciplinary thinking for the high-end equipment manufacturing sector.
