Solidification and Processing of Metals and Alloys

[0.50] credits · Graduate

This course examins the fundamental principles of metal and alloy solidification. Aspects of nucleation, grain, growth, dendrite formation in casting and welding processes are examined. Thermal analysis, solidification defects and alloy characterization are also covered. Students are expected to have already taken undergraduate courses in materials science and manufacturing processes ( ENGG*2120 and ENGG*2180 , or equivalents).
