Course description and aims

The main purpose of this lecture "Exercise in Physical Metallurgy" is to learn the basics of physical metallurgy such as defect structure, vacancy, dislocation, plane defect, diffusion through short excise in every lecture and homework. This lecture is mainly provided for the students who have not systematically studied metallurgy in their undergraduate course, but it is possible take this class for the students who want to understand basic physical metallurgy much deeper. Since this class provides excise, there is a limitation of the maximum number of students. The students have to take “Excise in Material Design” together. The students who want to take this class must read the following "Prerequisites" and contact to Prof. Hideki Hosoda via email to hosoda.h.aa@m.titech.ac.jp. After grouping, the permitted students cannot withdraw this lecture because of group works in exercise. This lecture is provided in Japanese and English. However, if the student who does not understand Japanese at all, he/she has to ask to Prof. Hosoda before the registration.

Student learning outcomes

To understand the formation and structure of defects in metallic materials and relationships to the physical properties

Keywords

physical metallurgy, physical properties, crystal structure, intermetallic compound, defect structure, vacancy, dislocation, plane defect, diffusion, plastic deformation

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills ✔ Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills
✔ Students acquire the ability of logical thinking by individual and also by group through discussion.

Class flow

After the short exercise, the way of thinking leading to the correct answers is provided. A few homeworks will be also provided. The students are divided in several groups for the group work. The students are recommended to use calculators (including note PC), rulers, grid paper, data books and so on. However, camera (with or without smart phone) or internet is not permitted.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 crystal structure of intermetallic compound atomic configuration of intermetallic compounds
Class 2 defect structure such as point defect and vacancy vacancy concentration
Class 3 Diffusion and vacancy activation energy of diffusion
Class 4 dislocation; edge and screw dislocations (1) dislocations in materials and crystals
Class 5 dislocation; edge and screw dislocations (2) formation of dislocation loop
Class 6 plane defects and dislocation, phase stability plane defect and dislocation
Class 7 plastic deformation and defect structure of intermetallic compound high temperature deformation of intermetallic compounds

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Prerequisites (i.e., required knowledge, skills, courses, etc.)

Due to the effective excise, there is a limitation of the maximum number of students. The students who take ”Excise in Materials Design" have to take "Exercise in Materials Design" in 1Q together. The applicant students must contact to Prof. Hosoda by April 7th 9:00 in FY2023 via email to hosoda.h.aa@m.titech.ac.jp with the information of major subject at undergraduate course and present supervisors. If the number of applicants exceeds the capacity, the students whose research in Master or Doctor course is related to Metallurgy are preferentially permitted. Undergraduate students may be accepted when vacancies. Research students cannot take this class. After grouping, the permitted students cannot withdraw this lecture because of group works in exercise. This lecture is provided in Japanese and English. However, if the student cannot understand Japanese at all, he/she has to ask to Prof. Hosoda before the registration with the experience of physical metallurgy.
