Description:
The module Shape memory alloys shall enable students learning the nature of phenomena classified as the shape memory effect and factors having a decisive influence on martensitic transformation reversibility and on the shape memory effect inducing in alloys. This knowledge is necessary to obtain the skill to design alloys for specific applications, including medical applications.
Prerequisites:
The achievement of effects of education in modules related to rudiments of materials science, materials science and modules related to engineering materials groups.
