一、課程說明(Course Description)
First course of a two-semester sequence treating metallurgical phenomena and
their utilization in engineering materials and processes. The contents in the
first semester are mainly focused on the fundamentals of materials including:
(1)crystal structure, (2) defects in crystals, (3) kinetics: diffusion in
substitutional and interstitial solid solutions, (4) thermodynamics: phase and
phase diagrams,and (5) plastic deformation.


二、指定用書(Text Books)

Physical metallurgy Principles, 4th ed.
Robert E. Reed-Hill, Lara Abbaschian, Reza Abbaschian
CL-Engineering, 2008

You may still use the 3rd edition of this textbook.
