Inorganic materials

This module will be divided into 3 parts:

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

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

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

Hourly volumes:

CM: 5 p.m.

Tutorial: 8 hours

To know the main classes of materials

- Major transformations:

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

o without diffusion: martensitic.

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

- Basics of metallurgy: metals + ceramics

General Chemistry, Basics in Thermodynamics (Bachelor's level: chemistry, physics, physics-chemistry, material sciences)
