Dr. Dmitri V. Malakhov

3 unit(s) Solution thermodynamics of multi-component systems, phase diagrams, predominance area diagrams, Pourbaix Diagrams, internal stability, driving forces, diffusion in multi-component systems, interphase interfaces, segregation, nucleation, diffusion-controlled transformations and interface control.

2 unit(s) A sequence of experiments to simulate industrial production of an Al-Mg-Si alloy. Accompanying lectures illustrate the engineering principles that underpin the industrial process. One lecture, one lab (three hours) Prerequisite(s): Registration in the final Level of a Materials Engineering program Antirequisite(s): MATLS 4L02, MATLS 4L04

3 unit(s) Fundamentals of processing, building on a knowledge of heat and mass transfer. High temperature processing of materials, focusing on heat sources, solid state processing of powders and liquid state processing, high temperature production routes for most important metals. Three lectures, one tutorial (one hour); second term Prerequisite(s): MATLS 2D03; and Registration in Level II or above in Materials Engineering
