Iron and Steel Metallurgy
About
About the course
Course content
The course is given every second year, next time will be spring 2011.
Provide the required chemical and physical beckground for modern ironmaking, steelmaking and steel processing. The following topics will be considered; deoxidation and desulphurisation reactions, rate phenomena in ladle refining, inoculation mechanisms in cast iron, grain refinement of steel, solidification behaviour of iron and steel, solid state phase transformations in iron and steel, quantification of inclusions and their effects on microstructure and mechanical properties, structure-property relationships in iron and steel.
Learning outcome
Reach a high international level within the chosen field of specialisation
Learning methods and activities
As part of the course, a special project assignment will be given. The project work will be evaluated and marked.
