Introduction to Physical Metallurgy. Crystallography, solid solutions and mechanical properties of metals are reviewed.
Stereographic projection is introduced.
Deformation twinning, martensite formation and the shape memory effect are studied as practical examples. Binary phase diagrams are reviewed. Vacancies, diffusion, and nucleation and growth phenomena are discussed. Solidification and growth phenomena are introduced. Dislocation interactions are examined to describe work hardening and precipitation hardening.
