To give fundamentals on phenomena occurring at crystallisation of melts and gases.

Course main content

After completed course the student will have knowledge of:

  • Crystallisation kinetics of melts and gases.
  • Influence of the boundary structure on the kinetics.
  • Forced dissolution in solid phase during crystallisation.
  • Sub cooling of melts, homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in melts and gases.
  • Facetted and dendritic growth, transition between these morphologies.
  • Eutectic and peritectic reactions and transitions between these reactions in multi-component systems.
  • Analysis of technically important crystallisation processes.
  • Directional solidification in theory and practice.
  • Production of a favourable texture.
  • Single crystals.
  • Composite materials.
  • Thermal analysis.
  • Directional solidification.
