UE's Learning outcomes

Analyzing a physical metallurgy problem in all aspects
Proposing and using investigation methods
Understanding and interpretation of metallurgical phenomena applied to ferrous and non ferrous alloys, and of the influence on mechanical properties and on general corrosion resistance. 
The aim is to teach the students the information necessary to understand metallography and physical metallurgy applied to metallic alloys (ferrous and non ferrous alloys), in the fields of mechanical resistance, structural materials and corrosion resistance.
