Summary of the course
This course we will work through the key metallurgical principles that underpin successful metallurgical outcomes in steel, necessary for optimum material selection, optimum material processing and the production of the correct microstructure and mechanical properties.
Learning outcomes:
- Understanding of key crystal structures
- Understanding of allotropic behaviour of iron
- Role of carbon on microstructures formed
- How equilibrium phase diagrams are used and their limitations
- Equilibrium microstructures formed in steel
- How time-temperature-transformation diagrams are constructed, how they indicate the non-equilibrium microstructures formed in steel
- How cooling influences microstructures formed and the importance of the critical cooling rate
- Factors that affect time-temperature-transformations, role of carbon, grain size and alloying elements
- Definition of key mechanical properties, how mechanical properties are related to microstructure and chemistry
- Definition of metal deformation and the role of dislocations
- Introduction to the four main strengthening mechanisms in steel in which dislocation movement is impeded.
