(Cancelled) Solidification Processing 3 credits
This course covers the formation of microstructure during solidification, mechanisms and impact of altered solidification conditions. The fundamental mechanisms of solidification including nucleation, primary phase growth, eutectics and peritectics are studied. Furthermore, the mushy zone and its properties are discussed in relation to the formation of casting defects. Real-life examples of inoculation/grain refinement and modification of aluminium alloys and cast irons are described in detail.
