Synopsis:

Abstract:

The course is based on previously acquired general physical and physical metallurgical knowledge and applies this knowledge to real systems such as Fe-C and Fe-X-C, multicomponent Fe and Ni -based alloys, etc., which are the basis of steels and special structural materials. Since the Physical Metallurgy 2 builds on the previous, more theoretically oriented courses of Metal Physics and Physical Metallurgy 1, added emphasis is placed on applications of real systems in engineering.
