Goal(s)
Present the mechanisms of microstructure evolution in materials through solid state phase transformations
Contact Alexis DESCHAMPSContent(s)
- Types of phase transformations
- Thermodynamics of phase transformations
- Mechanisms of nucleation, growth and coasrsening
- Precipitation, transformations with migrating interfaces
- Application to the main material classes
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge on thermodynamics : phase diagrams, Gibbs free energy, chemical potential
Basic knowledge on point defects and solid state diffusion
Semester 7 - The exam may be taken in french or in english
Session 1:
If exams in presence mode:
1 multiple choice question short exam (during the course) for knowledge evaluation - 10% of final mark
2h written exam (exercices and problem), no documents allowed except 1 A4 sheet recto verso - 90% of final mark
If exams in distance mode:
1 multiple choice question short exam (during the course) for knowledge evaluation (using Chamilo) - same percentage of final mark
2h written exam (exercices and problem), all documents allowed, surveillance using Zoom, upload of copy (pdf format) using the Chamilo platform, or by email opr using an uploading platform (time of file sending should be within the exam time).
Session 2 :
Same conditions as session 1, but the multiple choice mark of session 1 is kept.
QCM : 10%
Examen écrit : 90%
MCQ: 10%
Written exam: 90%
