Educational Goals

The aim of the course is to improve the students knowledge on non ferrous alloys (Al, Zn, Mg, Co, Ti, Ni, etc..) 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 (Non ferrous metals) and the second to the failure analysis (Mechanical metallurgy).

Content

Il course is divided in 2 modules:
- Mechanical metallurgy
- Non ferrous metals

Concenring 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 Non ferrous metals Module, the different non ferrous alloys (Al, Mg, Zn, Ti, etc) will be explained, from the ores extraction, recycling, mechanical properties, alloying to applications.

Extended Syllabus

The course is divided in 2 modules:
- Mechanical metallurgy
- Non ferrous metals

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