The course provides knowledge about thermodynamics, phase analysis, structures and kinetics in high temperature material.
The course consist of basic thermodynamics as well as the crystal structures of metals and oxides, amorphous structures, defects, diffusion processes and basic reaction kinetics. In addition, phase transformations, grain growth and solid phase reactions are treated. The concepts of sintering and methods for manufacturing high-temperature materials are also covered. The course contains thermodynamic computer simulations and a shorter material characterization project.
