CodeTECH-ICHI0007/2
Prerequisite

Basic training in physics, chemistry and mechanics applied and in study of materials. Course of thermodynamics.

Aims and Objectives

The course will contain many councils for the choice of metals and alloys for the applications. To show the very large variety of the surface treatments. To give to the future industrial engineers chemists basic concepts concerning the development of metals (thermodynamic and physicochemistry, kinetics).

Description

Physical metallurgy: Crystalline structure of metals and alloys, Plastic deformations, Diffusion, Diagram of balance, Corrosion. Ferrous alloys: steels and pig iron and cast iron, heat treatments, surface dressings, stainless steels; heat-resisting steels, tool steels, structures micrographic; Nonferrous alloys: aluminium, copper, zinc, magnesium, titanium, nickel; New materials; Testing methods: mechanical tests, metallographic tests, thermal methods of analysis. Surface treatments: degreasing, scouring, polishing, activation/desactivation, rinsing; surface coatings; transformations of surface; anodization, chemical treatments of surface. Extractive metallurgy: Kinetics and thermodynamics of the principal reactions pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgic and electrometallurgic. Study of the development of the cast iron and the blast furnace; Steelmaking; Study of the metallurgy of nickel, copper, aluminium, magnesium, zirconium and titanium
