Course Objectives
This course is intended to give advanced knowledge in processing of materials and physical metallurgy. This course aims to provide advanced level knowledge in processing-microstructure relationship of materials. At the end of this course student should be capable of:
- choosing proper extractive metallurgy techniques depending on the required microstructure
- choosing the proper fabrication technique depending on the required microstructure
- designing internal microstructure of materials depending on the required performance criteria
Course Content
Pyrometallurgy, hydro metallurgy, electrometallurgy. Homogenous and heterogenous nucleation. Solidification of pure metals and alloys. Alloy theory. Interfaces, grain boundary segregation. Recovery, recrystallization, grain growth. Precipitation, precipitation transformations, solid-state nucleation, precipitation kinetics, coarsening.
Course Learning Outcomes
This course is intended to give advanced knowledge in processing of materials and physical metallurgy. Specifically, METE 773 will focus on processing and fabrication and will provide students with Ph.D. level knowledge on how one can alter fabrication technique and fabrication parameters to manipulate the internal structure of the material. From an overall perspective, this course will teach students to establish a relationship between material properties and their fabrication route.
