This course was presented for the students of Pardis of IUT. It was mainly concentrated on the diffusionless phase transformations and the following topics were covered:
- The role of diffusion in solid state phase transformations
- Characteristics of the diffusionless phase transformations
- Crystallography of the diffusionless phase transformations
- Nuclation and growth mechanisms
- Strain-induced martensitic transformations
- Development of the nano/ultrafine grained steels
- Shape memory and pseduelesticity effects
- Nanostructured shape memory alloys
