Objectives The major objective for this course is to teach material science techniques applied to metals. Major emphasis is put on their mechanical properties and the connection to grain boundaries and dislocations. Also the thermodynamic properties of alloys and an introduction to (non-) equilibrium phase transitions is given.

Necessary (examined) Prerequisites: Theory II (Quantum Mechanics)
Theory IV (Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics)
Solid State Physics I

Subject a) Atomic structure, crystals and their defects
b) Elasticity and the most important mechanical properties, hardening mechanisms
c) Alloys and phase diagrams
d) Diffusion
e) Nucleation and grain growth
f) Nonequilibrium phase transitions (Martensite, Bainite)
g) Corrosion
h) Steel, advanced high strength steels
Criteria for evaluation Oral exam testing the understanding of the concepts of material science, and metal physics.
Methods Teaching is done by deriving important formulas and concepts on the blackboard as well as powerpoint presentations with pdf downloads.

In addition, an excursion to Voest Alpine Stahl is organized in the course of the lecture.
