Additional knowledge of thermodynamics for metallic solutions and advanced knowledge for metal production. The course specifically provides knowledge of:
- How thermodynamic and kinetic theories can be used to optimise metallurgical processes.
- The importance of choice of process parameters to reach an improved process control of a metallurgical process with regard to both productivity and sustainability.
- Possibilities to design processes or parts of processes in metallurgical industry.
Applications in material technology, e.g.:
- Iron production, roasting and melting of sulphides, steel production, refining of iron and steel, refining of copper and silicon
- Solid phase transformations and equilibria in metals and alloys
