Plasticity is the permanent deformation a metal undergoes when stressed beyond its elastic limit, allowing it to be shaped. Damage refers to the gradual internal degradation, like the formation of micro-voids and cracks, which eventually leads to failure under continued loading.

The aim of this teaching module is to enable students to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in the course “Theory of Metallurgical Processes”, particularly in relation to the dissociation of carbonates, oxidation phenomena, and chemical reaction equilibria.
The practical sessions are conducted numerically, focusing on data analysis, modeling, and the interpretation of metallurgical reactions using computational and simulation tools.

This course enables students to apply their knowledge of physical chemistry, particularly thermodynamics, to metallurgical systems.
It introduces the main types of metallurgical solutions (such as liquid metals and slags) and explores the structure and properties of these systems.
Students will learn how thermodynamic and kinetic principles govern metal extraction, reduction, oxidation, and slag formation processes.
