ME 4420 - Physical Metallurgy 3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
Physical metallurgy is a field of science that deals with the structure, processing, and physical properties of metals and alloys. It is the root from which the science of materials has mainly sprung. This course, which is designed for advanced undergraduate and entry level graduate students, discusses the fundamental principles governing the structure of metals and alloys, materials phenomena that arise during processing and manufacturing of metals, physics of phase transformations and formation of patterns/microstructure, and physical properties of metals. Equipped with these principles, linkages connecting materials thermodynamics, processing, microstructure, and properties are discussed. Preq: MSE 2100 ; and ME 3030 or MSE 3260 .
This 4000-level course has a 6000-level counterpart. Students should refer to the Graduate Catalog for the 6000-level description and requirements.
