Objectives : knowing computer codes for phase diagrams, solidification, phase transformation kinetics, residual stresses and deformations calculations and the basis of the underlying models; analysing assumptions and the sets of input data; analysing the results learning to take a critical look
Pre-requirements : knowledge in thermodynamics, solidification, solid-solid phase transformations, thermomechanical behaviour laws of materials
Educational contentof the course – Calculation of phase diagrams ; principle of Calphad method ; use of Thermocalc software
– Kinetics of phase transformations ; principle of nucleation-growth models ; use of a precipitation code.
– Solidification : principle of solidification models for predicting grain structures and chemical macrosegregations; use of code Solid.
– Heat Treatment : use of a numerical finite element code for coupled thermal – metallurgical – mechanical calculations for the prediction of microstructures, residual stresses and distortions
