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