Inorganic materials

This module will be divided into three parts:

- General introduction: main classes of materials, relationship between properties and structure of materials

- Construction and interpretation of phase diagrams: binary (e.g., for metallic and ceramic alloys)

- Construction and interpretation of ternary phase diagrams: variance, ternary eutectic definitions, first- and second-order peritectics, isothermal section, study of alloy cooling.

Hourly volumes*:

CM: 5:00 p.m.

TD: 8:00 a.m.

To learn about the main categories of materials

- Major changes:

o by diffusion: eutectic, peritectic (binary and ternary), eutectoid, peritectoid ...

o without diffusion: martensitic.

- Know how to interpret a binary or ternary diagram to determine the conditions for obtaining the desired phases or, conversely, how to prevent the formation of undesirable phases and predict the properties and stability of the materials.

- Basics of Metallurgy: Metals and Ceramics

General Chemistry, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (Bachelor's level: chemistry, physics, physical chemistry, materials science)
