Changes in metal properties

This course provides the theoretical basis for understanding the relationship between microstructural changes and the properties of certain metals.

Introduction and background
Thermodynamic reminders
Diffusion mechanisms in metals
Classical sprouting theory
Dislocations in metals and tensile properties
Dislocation/particle interaction in metals
Practical example: link between evolution of the precipitation state in the Fe-Cu system and mechanical properties
