Course detail
High temperature process in inorganics materials
CEITEC VUT-DS214AAcad. year: 2019/2020
In the course, doctoral students are introduced to basics of thermodynamics and kinetics of inorganic materials which is used for description of selected problems of materials engineering: phase diagrams and phase transformations, high-temperature interaction of molten metals with ceramic materials, and sintering and grain growth in ceramic and metal materials.
The content of the course can be adapted to the topic of the future dissertation.
