● 課程說明(Course Description)
This is the 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
science 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.
