MTSE 4010 - Physical Metallurgy Principles

3 hours

Physical metallurgy principles with a focus on understanding structure-property relationships in metals and alloys. Topics include structure, dislocations, mechanical behavior, grain boundaries, annealing, recrystallization, grain growth, diffusion, phase diagrams, transformations, strengthening mechanisms, fatigue, creep and fracture. Emphasis on the basic structure-property-processing relationships in metals and how they differ from other material classes.

Prerequisite(s): MTSE 3010, MTSE 3030, MTSE 3040.
