Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the subject is to introduce students to modern methods of simulation and modelling of microstructure and properties of metallic materials. To demonstrate application of basic thermodynamic laws for prediction of thermodynamic equilibrium and multicomponent diffusion theory for a simulation of microstructural evolution in diffusion con-trolled processes. To introduce students to tools allowing prediction of properties of metals and alloys, depending on 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.
