Basic knowledge on metallurgy

Educational Goals

The aim of the course is to improve the students knowledge on light alloys (Al, Mg, Ti) as well as on deformation and fracture mechanisms in metallic material.
Therefore, the course is divided in 2 modules, the first related to the non ferrous alloys topic (Light alloys) and the second to the failure analysis (Mechanical metallurgy).

Content

The course is divided in 2 modules:
- Mechanical metallurgy
- Light alloys

Concerning the Mechanical metallurgy module, it is focused on the study of the damage phenomena which can give rise to failures of mechanical devices in service. The most recent theories able to predict and describe the failures are presented especially in reference to fracture mechanics, creep, corrosion and wear.

For what concerns the Light alloys Module, the different non ferrous alloys (Al, Mg, Ti) will be explained, from the ores extraction, recycling, mechanical properties, alloying to manufacturing, applications and properties, focusing on the topic of reducing the weight of vehicles.

Extended Syllabus

The course is divided in 2 modules:
- Mechanical metallurgy
- Light alloys

For detailed info about the syllabus see the webpage of the 2 modules

Recommended Bibliography

Lectures notes will be available on Moodle for the enrolled students.
Other books are:

LIGHT ALLOYS MODULES
1) Aluminum and aluminum alloys: ASM international;
2 ) Magnesium technology: metallurgy, design data, applications, Springer.
3) Light alloys : metallurgy of the light metals / I. J. Polmear.

MECHANICAL METALLURGY MODULE
