Phase Transformations & Micros

Catalog description

Phase Transforming and Microstructures (3-0) The theory of the nucleation and growth kinetics of solid materials, solid-solid transformations and mechanisms. Rate processes, decomposition and ordering reactions and microstructures. Diffusionless transformations, eutectoid, and martensitic transformations are covered along with associated microstructural morphologies and property/ performance control by microstructure control in materials. Prerequisite: MME 3406 and 3407, or equivalent, MME 5401, or department approval.
