Materials Science and Engineering B (Material Processing)

Prof. Yuzuru SATO, Assoc. Prof. Katsunari OIKAWA
Assoc. Prof. Takahiro MIKI

gMaterials Science and Engineering Bh is a halfyear class to learn the fundamentals of the gMaterials Processingh based on the high temperature physical chemistry and process engineering. This class basically consists of three parts as thermodynamics for materials processing, ferrous and process metallurgy iiron- and steel-makingj, nonferrous metallurgy ipyro- and hydrometallurgyj, and electro-metallurgy in active metal processing. Students can study fundamentals and latest topics in the area of materials processing and engineering. The grade of students will be evaluated with the score of home works, class participation, exercises during the class and the final examination.
