Prerequisites
There are no mandatory prerequisites for this course, although the knowledge of the fundamentals of Chemistry is highly reccommended.

Learning outcomes
The student should knowing the properties, heat treatments and applications of the most important classes of ferrous materials used in mechanics

Program
Principles of physical metallurgy. Deformation of metals and strengthening methods in metals. Phase diagrams. Steels: primary steel production (blast furnace, converter), scrap and recycling (electrical furnaces). Heat treatments of steels. Designation and properties of steels. Steels for general use, alloy steels, tool steels, stainless steels. Cast Irons. Light alloys (Aluminium)

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The method for learning evaluation will consist in a written test and in an oral interview. The written test will deal with phase diagrams, CCT and TTT curves, primary metallurgy, steel and aluminum alloys classification. During the oral examination, the candidate will be interviewed on the rest of the course program

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
The candidate must be able to predict the microstructure and/or phases resulting from equilibrium (phase diagrams) and non equilibrium (TTT-CCT curves) transformations, and to properly identify steels and aluminum alloys by their designation according to UNI, AISI and IADS (International Alloy Designation System). During the oral examination, the candidate should exhibit a proper knowledge of the properties, heat treatments and applications of the different classes of materials.The student must be able to coherently describe concepts introduced during the course and to combine these concepts to identify correct uses of the considered materials.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
Grading scheme is based on a scale of 30 points. Successful completion of the examination will lead to grades ranging from 18 to 30.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
Grading scheme is based on a scale of 30 points. Successful completion of the examination will lead to grades ranging from 18 to 30.

Recommended reading
The candidate must be able to predict the microstructure and/or phases resulting from equilibrium (phase diagrams) and non equilibrium (TTT-CCT curves) transformations, and to properly identify steels and aluminum alloys by their designation according to
