Objectives: Understand the formation of microstructures during heat treatment of ferrous alloys and consequences on mechanical properties – to be able to propose a heat treatment fora piece in use.
Pre-requirements: phase transformations and mechanical properties of materials
Educational contentof the course: Steels: Phase transformations during rapid heating and cooling : – austenitization mechanisms, dissolution, grain growth – phase transformations on cooling (isothermal conditions IT diagrams), continuous cooling CCT diagrams) – role of alloying elements – hardenability concept – mechanisms of phase transformations during tempering of martensite – relationship between microstructures and mechanical properties . Case study (industrial partner) Cast iron : formation of microstructures from solidification to solid-solid phase transformations – heat treatment – relationship between microstructures and mechanical properties – case study (industrial partner)
Grading method: Written: Written exam Internship training: Report ORAL : Oral test
