Knowledge of the microscopic processes involved in phase transformations is crucial for carrying out metallurgical processes. This course covers the behaviour of metallic materials during and after transformations, as well as the associated properties.

Structure of crystalline materials
Lattice structure and lattice defects in metals
Phase diagrams
Diffusion
Solidification and segregation
Phase transformations in technical metals and ways of influencing them
Diffusive and non-diffusive transformations
Solubility and precipitation formation
Microstructure adjustment through heat treatment
Microstructure-property relationship in ferrous materials and selected non-ferrous alloys
Grinding preparation and discussion

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination

• Field work / Experimental work

Examination: see applicable study regulations
Experimental work: depending on the scope of laboratory activities

Knowledge of materials science and physics

Students at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences who have successfully completed this module will have acquired fundamental knowledge of the microstructure formation of metallic alloys.

Students at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences who have successfully completed this module will be able to select alloy-specific heat treatments in accordance with the applicable phase diagram and the transformation behaviour of the alloy. Furthermore, students will be able to explain the processes involved in the manufacture and further processing of metallic alloys.

Students are able to discuss their work results from the laboratory practical within the group and reflect on them together. Furthermore, they can present these results in writing in a clearly structured form and comment on them orally in response to questions.
