    The goalThe goal of this course is to provide an understanding of the driving force for phase transformations. Students attain knowledge about the transformation-induced microstructural changes and transformation kinetics altering the material properties.
    The outcomeStudents will be able to understand mechanism and kinetics of phase transformaations, as fundamental knowledge needed for design of heat treatment technologies.
    Contents
    Contents of lecturesConsider the driving force for phase transformations in solids, mechanisms of diffusional transformations involving short-range or long-range diffusion and diffusionless transformations, role of various structural parameters, kinetics of phase transformations, diagrams of isothermal transformation or time-temperature-transformation (TTT) and continuous cooling transformation (CCT).
    Contents of exercisesConsider the thermodynamic and crystallographic concepts of phase transformations, diffusion in metals and alloys, nucleation and growth of stable nuclei, types of interphase interfaces and shape of second-phase particles, mechanisms and phase transformations rates, generation and interpretation of TTT and CCT diagrams for various metallic materials.
