• Phenomenology of High Temperature Deformation
• Deformation Mechanisms
• High Temperature Structural Materials

learning objectives:

Students are able to

• Define properly the term "high temperature" with respect to materials
• Describe the shape of the creep curve based on underlying deformation mechanisms
• Rationalize the influence of relevant parameters such as temperature, stress, microstructure on the high temperature deformation behavior
• Develop strategies for improving creep resistance of alloys via modifying their composition
• Select properly industrially relevant high temperature structural materials for various applications
