Course description
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.
Purpose of class
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.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the solidification phenomena that occur during cooling in metals or alloys on a thermodynamics basis.
  2. Enable to understand the phase partition and microstructure from phase diagram.
  3. To understand the physical chemistry of phase transformation that are controlled by interface phenomena.
