Contents:

Introduction: Types, driving force and kinetics of phase transformation in metals and alloys

Diffusional phase transformations:

  • Nucleation reactions, different types of interfaces, growth mechanisms, transformation kinetics
  • alpha to gamma transformation; Eutectoid transformations; Precipitation in age hardening alloys; Spinodal transformation; Massive transformnation, Ordering transformation

Diffusionless phase transformations:

  • Characteristics and crystallography
  • Nuclation and growth mechanisms
  • Shape memory effect
