The aim of the course:
The aim of the course Physical Metallurgy is to give the students more extended and deep knowledge on the fundamental questions of structure and properties of materials.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : Explain the effects the vacancies and vacancy formation on the materials properties1,12
LO - 2 : Understand the diffusion phenomena, the function of the Fick's first and second laws1,12
LO - 3 : Explain the mechanisms of the formation of the surfaces and interface, grain boundries and the dislocations1,12
LO - 4 : Explain the effects of the nucleation and growth1,12
LO - 5 : Define the martensitic transformations: crystallography, thermodynamics and types of martensites, bainite transformation1,12
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
