	PHYS0904-2   Physics of materials (partim) Duration :   20h Th, 10h Pr Credits/ECTS :   Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation (Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation), 3rd year Premier quadrimestre 3 Master in Chemical Engineering and Materrial Sciences, in-depth approach, 1st year Premier quadrimestre 3 Master in Chemical and Material Sciences, specialized approach, 1st year Premier quadrimestre 3 Holder(s) :   Jacqueline Lecomte‑Beckers, Jean‑Marie Liégeois Language :   Langue française Course contents :   Notions of the perfect metallic crystal: liquid, gaseous, solid state, interatomic forces, crystalline networks. Properties of perfect metallic crystals: physical, mechanical (elasticity-plasticity and rupture), thermal, electrical properties. Imperfections in crystalline networks: point defects, dislocations, polycrystals. Alloys: solid solutions (thermodynamics - nanostructure - properties), intermetallic combinations (thermodynamics - properties). Diagram of phases. Applications of basic alloys (steel-aluminium). The significant mechanical properties of the yield strength of metals, the elasto-plastic domain, rupture, creep, fatigue: microscopic aspects. Unpoised structures: modifications in the microstructure of metals during hardening. Course objective :   To describe the microscopic behaviour of metals and to establish the links between organisation on an atomic level, the microstructure of metals and their properties. Prerequisites :   Basic physics course. Workshops :   Two lab sessions per group of 12 students (1 half-day): study of phase diagrams, study of the alloy balancing microstructures (steel and aluminium), study of the unpoised microstructures during the hardening of the alloys (steel and aluminium). Link with the mechanical properties. Organization :   Theory classes and PW in the 1st quadrimester (see FSA schedule). Written notes :   Course notes available from the department: MMS laboratory (B52 0/719) Slides available on: www.metaux.ulg.ac.be (http://www.metaux.ulg.ac.be/) Assessment :   Test on the subject covered in the practical sessions. Oral exam during the January session. The mark from the practical work counts for 20 % of the overall mark.
