Introduction to Physical Metallurgy Course to be Held at University of Surrey

The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Surrey cordially invites students and professionals to attend the course "Introduction to Physical Metallurgy" to be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK on 1 - 5 October, 2007. The course aims to provide an in-depth introduction to the field of Physical Metallurgy. It will provide a rigorous refresher course for those who have not studied it for some time.

This intensive one week course is a complete introduction to the foundations of metallurgy. It aims to enable delegates with a general scientific/engineering background to achieve a broad understanding of the core principles. The course covers the use of equilibrium phase diagrams and transformation diagrams, phase transformations and microstructure-property relationships in metals. These fundamentals are applied to the most important engineering alloys including ferrous, aluminium, titanium and nickel alloys.

Introduction to Physical Metallurgy is part of the Advanced Materials Programme: a range of eighteen short courses which may be taken individually or from which seven may be selected and linked together, with a project, to form a modular MSc Degree Programme. Candidates may specialise in metallurgy or select modules from a broad range of materials science and engineering topics.
