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 nonferrous 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 the 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.
