Objective

To impart knowledge on the structure, properties, treatment, testing and applications

of metals and non-metallic materials so as to identify and select suitable materials

for various engineering applications.

Crystal structure – BCC, FCC and HCP structure – unit cell – crystallographic planes

and directions, miller indices – crystal imperfections, point, line, planar and volume

defects – Grain size, ASTM grain size number.

Unit-I : CONSTITUTION OF ALLOYS AND PHASE DIAGRAMS 9(L)

Constitution of alloys – Solid solutions, substitutional and interstitial – phase

diagrams, Isomorphous, eutectoid, eutectic, peritectic, and peritectroid reactions,

microstructure, properties and applications.

Unit-II : HEAT TREATMENT 9(L)

Definition – Full annealing, stress relief, recrystallisation and spheroidizing –

normalising, hardening and tempering of steel. Isothermal transformation diagrams

– cooling curves superimposed on I.T. diagram, CCR - Hardenability, Jominy end

quench test – Austempering, martempering – case hardening - carburising, nitriding,

cyaniding, carbonitriding, flame and induction hardening.

Unit-III : MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND TESTING 9(L)

Mechanism of plastic deformation, slip and twinning – Types of fracture – Testing of

materials under tension, compression and shear loads – Hardness tests (Brinell,

Vickers and Rockwell), Impact test - Izod and Charpy, Fatigue and creep tests,

fracture toughness tests.
