|
| Duration : | 20h Th, 10h Pr, 1d FW |
|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Jacqueline Lecomte‑Beckers |
|
| Language : | French language |
|
| 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 metals: yield strength, elasto-plastic domain, rupture, creep, fatigue: microscopic aspects. Non equilibrium structures: modifications in the microstructure of metals during heat treatment. |
|
| 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 : | 1 introduction session + 1 lab session: groups of 12 students with 3 workshops (half day): study of phase diagrams, study of alloys equilibrium microstructures (steel and aluminium), study of the non equilibrium microstructures during heat treatment of alloys (steel and aluminium). Link with the mechanical properties. |
|
| Organization : | Theory classes in the 1st semester (see FSA schedule) and PW during the 2nd semester.
