Course objectives
After completing this course, the student should manage problem-solving of equilibrium states and kinetic of phase transformations in materials. At the same time, students will learn about how they work   software for calculations of equilibrium states (phase diagrams) and kinetics of phase transformations of materials based on metals and alloys.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to: - use advanced thermodynamics to describe materials. - use modern pradical and computational methods (CALPHAD) to obtain phase diagrams of technical materials. - use and understand the phase transformation diagrams of the materials. - be able to design preparation and heat treatment of materials. - Assess appropriate experimental techniques for material characterization. - predict diffusion and transformation behavior of materials.
