一、 課程說明(Course Description)
Superalloy is an important class of engineering material displaying excellent resistance against mechanical deformation and environmental attack particularly at temperatures beyond 800 degree C. The recent market forecast has indicated that the global demand for superalloy is on the increase, even when the price of oil is rising! This lecture will introduce superalloy material through alloy design, process development, microstructures-properties relationships, life-estimation, and engineering applications, especially for gas turbine applications in aeroengine and electricity generation. Students who attend this course will utilize knowledge of thermodynamics, kinetics of reactions, diffusion, crystal structure, phase diagrams and microstructure stability to learn about “Superalloys”. At the end of this course, I hope that students can appreciate learning materials science with an engineering purpose.
