Course description and aims

Mechanical properties of metallic materials are determined by their microstructures. How are the microstructures formed? This course introduces microstructural controlling methods currently used in metallic structural materials, mainly steels, in terms of phase equilibria, kinetics of phase transformations and crystallography. Students will also learn the principles and philosophy of microstructural design to obtain advanced structural materials.

Student learning outcomes

Students will:
1) Understand the principle of microstructural design for a variety of applications of steels.
2) Understand the basis of metallurgy (phase equilibria, kinetics of phase transformations and crystallography), which are necessary to design the microstructures.
3) Acquire the metallurgical principles well enough to be able to create new microstructural design methods by themselves.

Keywords

Thermodynamics of Phase equilibria, kinetics of phase transformations, crystallography, microstructural design principle

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills ✔ Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Exercise problems will be given to promote students' understanding in each class.
