Course Objective |
Properties of materials depend on their microstructures. In materials the microstructures are mainly developed as a result of phase changes that take place both on solidification and in the solid state. It is important to study thermodynamically why and how these phase changes and microstructural differences occur. This course aims to give the concept of free energy and equilibrium and study thermodynamics of nucleation in liquid and solid state, grain growth, particle growth in materials, and massive transformations in ferrous alloys. |
