Learning Outcomes of UE

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.

Content of UE

Fe-C phase diagram ; Application in case of mechanical field : mechanical properties, steels : heat treatments, bulk heat treatments (in depth study, isothermal and anisothermal decomposition, quenchability), superficial heat treatments, conventional unalloyed steels, high resistance steels ; Structural materials : cast irons and special cast irons ; Application in case of corrosion : stainless steels, aluminium, copper, zinc and titanium alloys.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and works
• Oral examination
• Practical test
• Quoted exercices

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Laboratory work and plants visits, 15 % of the final mark (grading takes into account the work produced during the lab time, the quality of report presentation and rigor in the explanations and the mastery of unities and significant decimals; plants visits: evaluation during the course.
Quoted exercices and practical test, 20% of final mark, max. duration: 120 min for each test; quoted exercices on similar exercices than those realized during courses; practical test: students answer various questions on lab work and exercises)
Oral exam, 65% of final mark, max. duration 60 min (on the whole course). Students prepare their answers and expose them orally. Exam includes one general question on one chapter (synthesis and concision are required) and one secondary question on a precise matter, that will also be discussed orally.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• N/A

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Not applicable

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Oral examination
• Quoted exercices

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Laboratory work, plant visits, 10 % of the final mark (report of the 'June' mark).
Oral exam, 90% of final mark, max. duration 60 min (on the whole course). Students prepare their answers and expose them orally. Exam includes one general question on one chapter (synthesis and concision are required) and one secondary question on a precise matter that can be an exercise, that will also be discussed orally.
