This document outlines the course details for a Physical Metallurgy 1 class. The course will examine the crystalline state of solid materials using X-ray diffraction techniques and phase transformations in materials processing. It is a 4 SKS undergraduate course meeting weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Assessment includes quizzes, assignments, a midterm exam and final exam. Students are expected to work independently and the instructor will not tolerate plagiarism or cheating. Office hours and resources are provided for students requiring special accommodation or assistance.

This lecture will examines the crystalline state of
solid materials. The course considers both the nature of crystalline materials and their characterization by means of X- ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The course also examines the physical metallurgy underlying the design, selection and application in materials engineering The course then goes on to look at examples of the application of phase transformations in materials processing. Code: ENMT600006 Subject: Physical Metallurgy 1 SKS: 4 Class: Under Graduate Semester 3 Term: First Term 2013/2014 T/V: Wed 3:00 – 4:50 pm K.209 Thu 5:00 – 6:50 pm K.204 For the homework, please note that a submission date, time and venue will be specified at the time of setting of each homework assignment. Homework that does not adhere to these submission requirements will receive an automatic zero grade. All exam times and assignment deadlines are fixed and the only excuses accepted for nonattendance at an exam or non-submission of an assignment are a serious certified illness or a family bereavement. In such cases, a make-up exam (or make-up assignment in the case of an assignment) of equal or greater difficulty must be taken. Examinations and individual assignments are to be the sole work of the student concerned – group efforts are not acceptable! Students are also cautioned not to engage in any plagiarism. Anything that is not the student’s own work should have a reference, following standard scientific conventions. In such rare cases as it is necessary to include verbatim text from an article or book, this should be clearly placed in quotation marks. The instructor will follow standard university disciplinary procedures if students engage in any form of cheating or plagiarism in examinations/ assignments. Students are expected to make their own notes and only relatively few handouts will be provided – so please stop me if you can’t read my writing or if I am going too fast. Handouts are provided via the web: www.nofrijon.org To obtain handouts, please navigate my website and then click on the subjects; you may need a password Questions and comments in class are strongly encouraged! The instructor both welcomes and values feedback from students regarding the course. Office hours: DTMM 2nd Fl. W and T 01:00 pm – 03:00 pm Students needing special accommodation are encouraged to see me after class or in my office within office hours to discuss their situation confidentially. Students needing special accommodation should bring their memorandum from the Program Office to me as soon as possible; this can be discussed during an appointment with me. Exam accommodation should be arranged at least one week in advance. Ifat any time during the quarter, it is felt that the accommodation that has been put in place is inadequate then please consult me and/or the professional staff in the Program Office. Please See Student Guide Book! The Class will be taught by two teachers and thus the grade would be shared 50% for each teacher. Within my part, the course will be graded on the following (see students guide book): Quizzes and assignments: 20% of final grade Midterm examination: 30% of final grade This course is intended to be self supporting and so a textbook is not mandatory. However, students may also wish to consult various texts, some are given in the following page, more detail in students’ guide book: R. E. Smallman and A.H.W. Ngan: Physical Metallurgy and Advanced Materials, 7th ed., Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007. R. E. Smallman and R.J. Bishop: Modern Physical Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Science, process, applications, 6th ed., Butterworth Heinemann, 1999. R.W. Chan and P. Haasen (Eds): Physical Metallurgy, 4th ed., North-Holland, 1996.
