Learning Outcomes
The will have basic knowledge on thermodynamics and kinetic factors controlling phase transformations in metals and alloys. Can decribe diffusional and diffusionless solid state phase transformations. Understand the metallurgical transformations occuring in metals due to different heat treatments. Can describe what happens in the structure and properties of ferritic alloys in quenching and tempering process. Has knowledge on laboratory practices from CALPHAD simulation to microstructural analysis and is able to report and present his own laboratory work.
