Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Students will acquire knowledge about different approaches to modelling and prediction of the structure and properties of metallic materials, which find increasingly broader applications in materials engineering. Students will acquire the knowledge necessary for selection of the optimum computer software for solution of particular problems. Students will acquire knowledge about database systems in the field of materials engineering. Student will be able to use the most widely used software for prediction of the structure and properties of metallic materials (programs THERMOCALC, DICTRA, DIGIMAT, MAT.DB, SYSWELD, etc.) Student will be able to predict the structure and properties of metals and alloys, in dependence on the parameters of their technological processing.

Summary

The aim of the course is to acquaint the students with modern methods of simulation and modelling of the structure and properties of metallic materials, to demonstrate the use of basic laws of thermo-dynamics at prediction, and of thermodynamic equilibrium and multicomponent diffusion theory at simulation of the of microstructure evolution by the diffusion-controlled processes, and to acquaint the students with the tools enabling prediction of the properties of metals and alloys in dependence on the parameters of their technological processing.
