About
About the course
Course content
The course is normally given every second year, next time will be autumn 2010. The course begins with a general description of the softening behaviour of cold deformed metals. Thereafter: Microstructure after cold rolling, stored enrgy, microstructure and structural heterogeneties like transition bands and shear bands. Nucleation and growth of recrystallization, possible nucleation sites and kinetics. Recrystallization of two-phase alloys. Evolution of texture, deformation texture and recrystallization tetxtures.
Most of the aspects are generic, but when appropriate examples and applications are mostly related to aluminium.
Learning outcome
After completed the course the students should have in-depth knowledge about phenomena and reactions during annealing of cold deformed metals, including relevant theories and mathematical models, with emphasis on the evoloution of microstructure and texture in aluminium alloys, and how this is related to mechanical properties. The students shall be able to discuss, analyse and perform relevant quantitative calculaties with respect to microstructure, texture and mechanical properties during annealing.
Learning methods and activities
The course will be organised as a combination of ordinary lectures, student colloquia and self studies.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is based on TMT4220 Mechanical Properties of Engineering Materials 1 and TMT4225 Mechanical Properties of Engineering Materials 2.
