Description
Theory of nucleation and growth of a new phase. Interface behaviour during solidification of single component systems. Alloy solidification - Interface stability and constitutional supercooling. Solidification by invariant transformation. Solidification of ingots and castings - Inoculation effects. Single crystal growth. Rapid solidification processing. Nucleation and growth of precipitates - age hardening. Spinodal decomposition and ordering reactions. Diffusional and diffusionless transformations - characteristics; nucleation and growth; crystallographic aspects. Case studies.
