Phase Diagram and Metallographic Structure

 KUMAI Shinji

NODA Kazuhiko
Course description
This lecture will provide a basic understanding of the underlying principles that determine the evolution of microstructures in metals and alloys during their processing and their relation with their properties. Attempts will be made to introduce the concept of thermodynamics and the kinetics of phase transformation. This also includes a brief outline of crystal structure and crystal defects and phase diagrams in metallic materials and alloys.
Purpose of class
The aim of this lecture is to give and introduction to three topics fundamental to materials science and engineering: structure, bonding, and thermodynamics.
Goals and objectives
  1. To learn the atomic structure of materials.
  2. To learn the relationship between microstructure and property of materials.
  3. To learn the defects in materials.
  4. To learn the diffusion in materials.
  5. To learn the phase diagram of alloys and the relationship between phase diagrams and microstructure evolution.
