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.
