MH2026 Introduction to Materials and Process Design 9.0 credits

The course includes invited lectures given by experts in relevant fields and gives an overview of the field of materials and process design.

The course is an introduction to the following more advanced courses in Thermodynamics, Process Metallurgy, Kinetics and Microstructures:

• Thermodynamics and Kinetics: “Applied Thermodynamics and Kintetics, Part 1”
• Process metallurgy: “MH2029 Process Metallurgy Applications”
• Microstructures: “MH2038 Micro and Nano Structures in Materials”

After completed course the student will have

• an understanding of the complexity of materials and process design

and have basic knowledge of

• thermodynamics
• phase equilibria, phase transformations, phase diagrams and their relation to microstructure
• transport phenomena (mass and heat)
• pyrometallurgical operations.
