Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The course is focused on basic theoretical rules of phase transformations which can take place during production and subsequent treatment of metallic materials. The goal of the course is to train students in identification of transformation products in metallic materials and to define a probable mechanism of phase transformations taking place under given circumstances of technological treatment of materials.

Summary

The course deals with basic thermodynamic, kinetic and crystallographic characteristics of phase transformations in metallic materials. Phase transformations in technically important alloys are demonstrated on practical examples.
