MATE 3140: Kinetics and Phase Equilibria in Materials
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Lecture 3.
Prereq: MATE 2140; MATE 2160; MATE 3110
The energetics and kinetics of transformations in materials. Quantitative descriptions of materials state, stability, and time-dependent evolution of constitution and microstructure. Relationships between phenomenology, driving forces, mechanisms, and kinetics as tools for controlling material state and associated properties. Fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, diffusional transport, interfaces, and other heterogeneities - applied to various types of diffusional and diffusionless transformations in materials state. Methods for experimental measurement and computational modeling. Applications in process design.
