This course provides an introduction to materials processing science, with an emphasis on heat transfer, chemical diffusion,
and fluid flow. We use an engineering approach to analyze industrial-scale processes, with the goal of identifying and understanding
physical limitations on scale and speed, and cover materials of all classes, including pure metals and common alloys. Specific
processes, such as melt-processing of metals, deposition technologies (liquid, vapor, and vacuum), and additive manufacturing
are considered.
The aim of this lecture is to understand the alloy theory-terminal solid solutions and intermediate phases, free energy-composition
diagrams. Develops equilibrium and non-equilibrium behavior of alloy systems that are essential for the interpretation of
phase diagrams.
- Understand various phenomena related to solidification and crystal growth from the liquid state in metal materials from a thermodynamic perspective.
- Enable the interpretation of phase diagrams and predict phase compositions, microstructures, and properties of materials under given conditions.
- Deepen the understanding of physical chemistry principles related to interfacial phenomena that govern phase transformations, such as solid-liquid interfaces.
- Enhance the understanding of novel fabrication methods of materials based on the control of non-equilibrium phases through processes such as undercooling solidification and rapid quenching.
