  1. Interactive Simulations In The Teaching Of Metallurgy Peter Goodhew, Andrew Green and David Naylor University of Liverpool MATTER International Iron & Steel Institute European Aluminium Association

  2. Why teach metallurgy? • Metallurgy is unfashionable but still very important • Society uses a lot of steel, aluminium, copper and other metals • It is an excellent meso-scale enabling activity between science and engineering

  3. Interactive simulations • can help student understanding • have been written for aspects of steelmaking (see oral presentation by Ruth Hambleton) • … and aluminium, demonstrated here.

  4. Note the interactivity Simulation of yielding

  5. Note the interactivity Machine turning of Al

  6. An example Alumatter

  7. Why bother with simulations? • Enable inaccessible experiments • Permit repeat experiments • Enable learning by doing • Encourage exploration of variables • Can be competitive • Collaboration with industry can be rewarding
