The fundamental understanding of phase transformations in materials is the key for tuning their structure and properties. This course will provide the necessary basic knowledge to relate bonding, diffusion, and temperature (heat treatment) in solids to their evolution of structure (covering aspects of interphase movement and solidification). Emphasis will also be on the thermodynamic concepts behind these different phenomena.
