Fundamentals
Solution thermodynamics
Multicomponent phase diagrams, kinetics for materials processes
Applications in materials engineering, e.g.
Ironmaking, sulfide roasting and smelting, iron and steel refining, silicon refining
Solid phase transformations and equilibria in metals and alloys
Intended learning outcomes
After the course the student will be able to:
Read and interpret ternary, quaternary, and quinary phase diagrams of alloys and oxide systems
Apply ternary lever rule, liquidus projections, and iso-activity diagrams
Apply phase diagrams in selection of refractories for liquid slags
Perform equilibrium calculations in reduction of metal oxides and sulfides, gas solubility in metallic melts, solute distributions in slag-metal systems, and in modification of non-metallic inclusions

Support for students with disabilities
Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:
INL1 - Hand in assignment, 1.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
TEN1 - Written examination, 5.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Ethical approach
All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
