The course provides quantitative treatment of the thermodynamics of alloys and of the kinetics of phase transformations employing appropriate models and software. The concepts are applied to the detailed description of various types of alloys both of established industrial interest and under development, of the main metallurgical processes, of mechanical properties of metallic materials. Case studies are proposed on steels, light alloys, superalloys, new materials.
