Course description and aims
The main purpose of the lecture "Exercise in Materials Design" is to learn the basics of physical metallurgy such as interatomic bonds, crystal structures, phase diagrams, microstructure formation which are necessary for the material design 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. Then, applicants must read the following "Prerequisites" and contact to Prof. Hosoda by via email to hosoda.h.aa@m.titech.ac.jp. When the applicant number is too much, selection for the permission will be made according to the purpose. This lecture is provided in both Japanese and English. However, if a student cannot understand Japanese at all,
in this case, he/she has to ask Prof. Hosoda by email for example before the registration of this lecture. The applicant students have to take the class "Exercise in Physical Metallurgy" in 2Q together.
Student learning outcomes
To understand the essence of interatomic bonding and crystal structures in metallic materials, and the relationships to phase diagrams, solid solubility of additional elements from the viewpoint of free energy, and microstructural formation through phase reactions in the phase diagrams for the design of metallic materials.
Keywords
Material design, physical metallurgy, metallic material, atomic bonding, crystal structure, phase diagram, free energy, microstructural formation, phase reaction
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
After the short exercise, the way of thinking leading to the correct answers is provided. Some homeworks will be also provided. The students are divided in several groups for the group work. The students have to use calculators (including note PC), rulers, grid paper, data books and so on. However, using camera (with or without smart phone) or internet is not permitted.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Properties of elements and the periodic table | The relationship between physical properties of pure metals and the periodic table |
| Class 2 | Atomic bondings and interaction energy | internal energy in crystals |
| Class 3 | Relationship between occupation sites of additional elements，crystal structure and solid solubility | occupation sites and size of interstitial elements |
| Class 4 | Entropy and free energy | Entropy in binary system |
| Class 5 | Binary phase diagram and free energy | calculation of binary phase diagram |
| Class 6 | phase diagram，phase reaction, and microstructure | microstructural formation through equilibrium solidification |
| Class 7 | Basics of microstructural control using phase diagram | microstructure and thermo-mechanical treatment |
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. Then, applicants must contact to Prof. Hosoda by April 8th (2022FY) 16:00 via email to hosoda.h.aa@m.titech.ac.jp with the information of their major in undergraduate course and present supervisor(s). If the number of applicant students is too much, the students whose master/doctor course research is related to metallurgy have a priority to take this class. The applicants are strongly recommended to take "Exercise in Physical Metallurgy" in 2Q together. If the applicants have any questions, contact to Prof. Hosoda prior to the application. This lecture is provided in Japanese and English, however, if the students who do not understand Japanese at all, he/she has to ask to Prof. Hosoda before the registration of this lecture.

The students taking this class are strongly recommended to take the class "Excise in physical metallurgy" together. If the number of applicants exceeds the capacity, permission is preferentially provided for the graduate students whose master or doctor course research is related to metallurgy. Undergraduate students may be accepted when vacancies. Research students cannot take this class. This lecture is provided in Japanese and English. However, if the student cannot understand Japanese at all, he/she must contact to Prof. Hosoda by email hosoda.h.aa@m.titech.ac.jp with the experience of learning physical metallurgy.
