Course content
The aim of this course is to provide a basic understanding of the underlying principles that determine the evolution of microstructures in non-ferrous metallic materials during their processing and its relation with its properties and performance in service. Attempts will be made to introduce the concept of thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformation, micro-structural engineering, alloy design, processing (casing, forming and heat treatment) techniques, and structure property relationship.
Purpose of class
The course would also include a brief introduction to the tools and techniques of examination of microstructure as well as evaluation of its properties. An attempt will be made to take the students from the fundamentals to the frontiers of physical metallurgy.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understanding the fundamental knowledge and its applications of non-ferrous materials.
  2. Understanding the relationship between physicochemical properties and microstructure of non-ferrous materials.
  3. Ability to identify crucial problem areas in manufacture and applications of non-ferrous materials.
