Innehåll
The core concept of this course is the detailed description and understanding of the principles of phase transformation in metals and alloys.
The course includes the following elements:
• Thermodynamics and phase diagrams
• Diffusion
• Crystal interfaces and microstructure
• Solidification
• Diffusional transformations in solids
• Diffusionless transformations.
Undervisningsformer
Lectures, laboratory sessions and/or project work, and assignments/quizzes.
Undervisningen bedrivs på engelska.
