Course contents
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, copper and silicon refining
- Solid phase transformations and equilibria in metals and alloys
Intended learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course the student shall be able to:
- Read and interpret ternary, quaternary, and quinary phase diagrams of alloys and oxide system
- 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
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Basic knowledge of chemical thermodynamics and phase equilibria in binary systems, corresponding to the courses MH2029 Extractive Metallurgy or MH2039 Process Engineering.
Recommended prerequisites
MH1029 Sustainable Process Technology (BSc students from KTH)
Equipment
Literature
Given in the course syllabus, at course start
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- INL1 - Assignment, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- INL2 - Assignment, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Home exam, 4.0 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.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

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.
