DJENDEL MOKHTAR2026-04-162025-06https://dspace.univ-bba.dz/handle/123456789/1304The content of this course was chosen so as to be able to serve as a manual for materials engineering courses intended for 1st year master's students in accordance with the outline and guidelines of the mechanical engineering department. Teaching objectives ▪ Implement the main heat treatments and the main techniques experimental for the study of structural transformations of metal alloys. ▪ Highlight changes in properties and valuation of materials obtained at the end of the treatments. ▪ Highlight the correlations between behaviors, treatments and structures. Prerequisites: The target audience must have prior knowledge in: Thermodynamics (understanding of equilibrium and phase diagrams, thermochemistry), notions of mechanics. Metals and alloys. The course content is presented in several themes subdivided into chapters: Chapter 1. Thermal Equilibrium Diagram. Chapter 2. Time-Temperature Transformation (TTT) diagram & Continuous Cooling Transformation (CCT) diagram. Chapter 3. Classification of Metal Alloys. Chapter 4. Heat Treatment Theory Chapter 5. Classic industrial treatments (annealing and quenching,…..) & Thermochemical diffusion treatments (Carburizing heat, Nitriding etc.). The hourly volume allocated to the course is 37h30min per semester in one lesson per week of 1h30 and a practical work of 1h. The evaluation of acquired knowledge is done in mode: Continuous assessment: 40%; Exam: 60%. Depending on the means available in the establishment. manipulations are designed as an experimental project combining the material studied, the treatments, and the characterization. The different manipulations address the following themes: • The modification of the properties of alloys by heat treatment in the mass and the study of the hardening mechanisms of metal alloysThe content of this course was chosen so as to be able to serve as a manual for materials engineering courses intended for 1st year master's students in accordance with the outline and guidelines of the mechanical engineering department.
