Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

This course addresses various specialized topics in metals engineering, among the following:


  • Solidification of metals and metallic alloys.
  • Thermal and thermomecanical treatments of metals and alloys.
  • Corrosion and surface treatments of metals.
  • Metal matrix composites, including their processing methods and specific usage properties.
  • Non destructives testings.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Understand and control the relations between the processing method and parameters, the (micro-)structure of a metallic material and its usage properties.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

PHYS0904 Physics of materials (Part metallic materials), or similar formation.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course comprises a series of ex-cathedra lectures.
A visit at the "Maison de la Métallurgie" will be organized at the beginning of the course (during the first week of november, the date will be communicated at a later time).

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Teaching will take place face-to-face, for as much as the sanitary situation allows. If necessary, some learning activities may take place remotely.

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

If the health context allows it, evaluation will be based on an oral exam in face-to-face.
If not, the oral exam will be organised in remote mode (visioconference).

Recommended or required readings

Powerpoint presentations and publications from scientific literature will be made available for the students via eCampus.

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Oral exam in January.

Work placement(s)

Organizational remarks

The lectures will take place during the second part of the first semester (starting on november 10th, 2020), on Tuesday afternoon.
Students willing to select this course as optional subject should register their interest with Anne Mertens (anne.mertens@uliege.be) as soon as possible.
