Course Objective

The aim of the course is to examine the production of non-ferrous metals using primary and secondary raw material resources, taking into account realistic constraints (environment, economy, sustainability, etc.); to convey the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations of production processes; to provide the properties, application areas and alloy development processes of non-ferrous metal alloys through various examples.
The course will also provide information about the structures, properties and applications of non-ferrous alloys, and students will gain the ability and competence to make decisions in material selection for engineering designs.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To define the terms and basic concepts related to the general properties of non-ferrous metals, the classification of their alloys and their production processes
2   To explain the basis of the pyrometallurgical processes used in the production of non-ferrous metals by examining their applications
3   To explain the basis of the hydrometallurgical processes used in the production of non-ferrous metals by examining their applications
4   To explain the basis of the electrometallurgical processes used in the production of non-ferrous metals by examining their applications
5   To have the ability to know and apply processes and technologies related to the production, processing, protection, and recovery of non-ferrous metals
6   To be able to convey the results of a theoretical and/or experimental research on non-ferrous metals and their alloys in writing and orally.
