The module deals with the basic understanding of phase transformations in alloys, and its relationship with microstructure and mechanical properties of alloys. Included are transformation processes such as solidification; nucleation, growth and coarsening of precipitates; the use of carbides and intermetallic compounds in steels; static and dynamic re-crystallisation; grain growth and the use of grain boundary engineering; the martensite, bainite and pearlite transformations; thermomechanical processing and some elements of quantitative metallography. The course is practice orientated; the current best fundamental understanding of these transformation processes covered, and its role in engineering application demonstrated. The course is fully documented on CD-ROM from the latest literature and is largely intended for that research student who is embarking on a physical metallurgical research project.

We cover the interaction between the internal structure of metals – on the atomic and microscopic scales – and their mechanical properties. Practically important topics such as elastic and plastic stress analysis, dislocations and deformation, room and high temperature deformation processes, mechanical property/microstructure relationships for low and medium Carbon steels and for micro-alloyed and HSLA steels, fatigue processes, stress corrosion cracking, creep deformation processes and fracture mechanics are covered in depth, and illustrated with case studies. The course is largely available on CD-ROM with references to the latest literature.

The aim with this course is to facilitate the development of the students in corrosion engineering by considering the electrochemical fundamentals of corrosion processes as well as their experimental and practical implications for corrosion diagnosis and control. The practical manifestations of the broad types of corrosion are reviewed and the skills of the students to utilise corrosion control methodologies such as chemical and electrochemical control, protective coatings and material selection to control corrosion are developed.

We aim to provide you with practice in using fundamental principles to analyse pyrometallurgical processes – to be able to go from understanding to process improvement. To this end, the necessary fundamentals of reaction equilibria (including activity descriptions), reaction kinetics, and mass and energy balances are reviewed. Practical examples illustrate the use of these principles. In the final block, we analyse a number of practical processes in more detail. Throughout, the emphasis is on quantification, and at least half of the contact time is devoted to computer-based calculations.

Die verskillende tegnieke word modulêr aangebied en elke spesialisrigting het ’n eie keuse van drie tegnieke om die student se navorsing te ondersteun. Spesialisrigtings soos Fisiese Metallurgie, Sweismetallurgie, Hidrometallurgie, Pirometallurgie en Mineraalprosessering word gedek. Ander rigtings kan aangespreek word na konsultasie met die kursusleier. Die tegnieke wat tans aangebied word is: TEM, SEM Auger Spektroskopie (AES), X-straal Foto-elektronspektroskopie (XPS), Plasma-ontladingspektroskopie (GDOES), X-straal Diffraksie (XRD), X-straal fluoresensie (XRF), Gleeble warmvervorming simulasie en Dilatometrie. Lesings behandel die teorie en interpretasie in diepte en dit word geïllustreer met gevallestudies.Module-inhoud:

The aim with this course is to enable the students to understand the design and operation of hydrometallurgical processes for the beneficiation of minerals and metals. The theoretical basis of the solution chemistry underlying hydrometallurgical processes, the purification and concentration options available, and the metal recovery processes such as precipitation, hydrogen reduction, and electrowinning are reviewed. This is then followed by the consideration of the engineering aspects and the technical application of hydrometallurgical processes for a number of ores relevant to South Africa.

Die module spreek beide die teorie en toepassing van monsterneming aan, hoofsaaklik in die mineraalprosesseringsindustrie. Monsterneming is in beginsel statisties van aard en dus sal basiese statistiese metodes, relevant tot monsternemingsteorie behandel word. Die module sal dan fokus op die teorie van monsterneming, spesifiek ten opsigte van die bestuur van groot- en kleinskaalse veranderlikheid. In die gedeelte oor grootskaalse veranderlikheid, sal die effek van interpolasiefoute, periodiese foute en geweegde-inkrement foute ook aangespreek word. In die gedeelte wat handel oor kleinskaalse veranderlikheid, word die bepaling en bestuur van verskeie foute, wat lei tot kleinskaalse veranderlikheid hanteer – dit sluit in die saamstel van monsternemingsmetodes wat hierdie foute kan minimeer. Die evaluasie van droë- en nat monsternemingsapparaat, ten opsigte van verskillende bronne wat eensydigheid kan genereer, asook die implementering van monsternemingsmetodes in die praktyk word behandel. Steenkool-, yster-, goud- en platinumerts sal die fokus vorm van die module.

The refereed literature on a specific topic (normally related to subsequent research towards a master's degree) is studied and summarised in a written report. The important skills are finding appropriate papers, reading and comprehending these, and using the information in the paper to construct your own view on the research topic. There are no formal contact sessions. The first part of this module involves definition of a research topic (to be approved by the head of the department), development of a literature survey and compilation of a detailed research proposal. The second part of the module involves generation, presentation and critical interpretation of a project plan/results, and compilation of a written report and an oral presentation. The written survey document must be submitted at the end of October, with an oral presentation of 20-30 minutes in the week following submission of the survey.
