Kinetics and Phase Transformation of Materials
(材料動力學與相變化)
Semester: 2
Course Code: TX3310302
Credits: 3
Required/Elective: Required
EMI: Yes
Undergraduate/Graduate: Undergraduate
Course Objectives:
As an extension of Materials Science (I) and (II), this course will explain the physical metallurgical behavior in metallic materials from three perspectives: processing, structures, and properties. It will introduce the fundamental principles of dislocations (Chapter 4 and Chapter 5), grain boundaries (Chapter 6), annealing phenomena (Chapter 8), solid solutions (Chapter 9), diffusion (Chapter 12 and Chapter 13), and precipitation (Chapter 16) using the classic textbook “Reed-Hill’s Physical Metallurgy Principles.” Students who take this course will learn more about material structures, how structures dictate properties, and how processing can change structures.
Outline of Lectures:
The following schedule may be rearranged as needed.
Chapter 0: Introduction to the course
Chapter 1: Introduction to dislocations
Chapter 2: Dislocations and plastic deformations
Chapter 3: Elements of grain boundaries
Chapter 4: Annealing
