MAT61009 Superalloys and High Performance Materials (MATS65402)

Aims/Description: In many cases, technological progress is limited by materials ability to withstand extremely harsh conditions determined by a combination of temperature, pressure and chemical potential of the environment. Key materials properties governing their performance in a particular application depend upon both the nature of the material and its microstructure achieved by available manufacturing methods.

Restrictions on availability: Available to CDT Advanced Metallic Systems students only.
