Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Provide clear and accurate information.
• Share their knowledge and findings clearly and back them up rationally to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
• Grow personally and professionally.
• Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.
• Have a creative and rigorous scientific approach
• Apply their knowledge, understanding and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments and in multidisciplinary contexts related to physical sciences.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Analyze a physical metallurgy problem in its totality.
Propose investigation methods and apply them.
Understand and interpret the metallurgical phenomena applied to metallic alloys and their influence on mechanical properties.
The objective is to provide students with the necessary information to understand metallography and physical metallurgy applied to metallic alloys (mainly ferrous alloys) in the fields of mechanical strength and structural materials.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Fe-C and Fe-X diagrams; Phase transformations (germination and growth phenomena); Mechanical resistance; Heat treatments applied to steels: in-depth study of heat treatments in the mass (austenization, isothermal and anisothermal decompositions, quenching, tempering and globularization), surface heat treatments (surface quenching and thermochemical treatments (C, N)); Stainless steels and refractory aloys; Ferrous cast irons (white, grey and special cast irons); Powder metallurgy.
