Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Provide clear and accurate information.
• Share their knowledge and findings clearly and back them up rationally to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
• Grow personally and professionally.
• Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.
• Have a creative and rigorous scientific approach
• Apply their knowledge, understanding and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments and in multidisciplinary contexts related to physical sciences.

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/or works
• Oral examination
• Practical test

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Laboratory work, 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, a report of astonishment is requested after each plant visit. Quoted exercices, 10% of final mark., max. duration: 120 min. Quoted exercices on similar exercices than those realized during courses. Practical test, 10% of final mark, max. duration: 120 min.  About 30 minutes of practical manipulation and the rest of the time in written interrogation for each student (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 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.
