Advanced Metallic Materials and Engineering

Overview

Research work under supervision of senior staff includes theoretical and experimental studies, publications in scientific journal, presentations at conferences for young scientists and at special seminars. Main directions of research work in the Advanced Metallic Materials and Engineering programme of National University of Science and Technology (MISIS) are: advanced aluminum alloys, superplasticity of metallic materials, modeling and simulation in physical metallurgy, new non-ferrous metal matrix composites, biocompatible materials and shape memory alloys, elastic and anelastic behavior of metallic materials.

Learning Outcomes

Here are a few benefits the present program can bring. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

• develop new materials and technologies;

• build models of structure and properties evolution during treatment of alloys and use the models for prediction and calculation of properties;

• use multicomponent phase diagrams for optimization of alloy composition and heat treatment;

• detect causes of the production defects and breaking of the metallic constructions during operation;

• work with literature and patents for obtaining of the patentability and technical level of the product;

• research in the field of the physical metallurgy;

• solve the theoretical and applied problems of the physical metallurgy using system approach;

• choose methods and tests for estimation of alloys physical, mechanical, operational properties and structure;

• use data bases, computer programs, and CAD/CAM software for the materials production problems solving;

• create technical documentation, scientific reports concluding the results of the investigation.
