,INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL METALLURGY
The course aims to provide a general introduction to the field of Physical Metallurgy. The
course covers crystal structures, solidification, equilibrium phase diagrams, transformation
diagrams, diffusion, liquid to solid transformations, ferrous and non-ferrous materials, cold
work, recovery and Recrystallization.
Course Overview
The module provides a systematic overview of the major principles of physical
metallurgy. Students successfully completing the module will have a critical
awareness of how these principles relate to current issues in exploiting structural
alloys in engineering applications.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the module, students should be able to ►Show a systematic
understanding of the role that crystal structures play in material properties. ►Evaluate
critically the relevance of phase diagrams, isothermal transformation diagrams and
continuous cooling transformation diagrams to understanding real alloys and their
microstructure.► Display a critical awareness of the relevance of key areas, e.g. diffusion,
defects, transformation type, to current problems in designing, processing and exploiting
real alloys. ►Show a systematic understanding of the complex interplay between
microstructure, processing and engineering properties in metallic materials.
