Course detail

High temperature processes in inorganics materials

CEITEC VUT-DS214Acad. year: 2021/2022

V průběhu kurzu jsou PhD. studenti seznámeni se základy termodynamiky a kinetiky anorganických materiálů. Tyto znalosti jsou pak využity pro popis vybraných problémů materiálových věd a inženýrství: fázové diagramy a fázové přechody, vysokoteplotní interakce roztavených slitin s keramickými materiály, a slinování a růst zrn v kovových a keramických materiálech.
