Place
of the course |
Louvain-la-Neuve
|
| Main themes |
Three major themes are covered : non-metallic inorganic solids (ceramics and mineral glasses), physical metallurgy, processes for the production of the main industrial metals and alloys (steel, aluminium,
)
|
| Aims |
This course aims at completing the courses of the bachelor program devoted to chemistry and physical-chemistry in such a way that, at the end of the course, the student possesses the necessary bases for being confronted, in his professional life, to problems related to the production processes and properties of inorganic products : metals, ceramics, glasses.
