Pre-requisite NIL Syllabus version
v. 1.1
Course Objectives:
To develop the knowledge of how the structure of materials is described technically,
including crystallography, microstructure, defects, and phase diagrams
To give an introduction to the relation between processing, structure, and mechanical
properties
To develop the knowledge of material failures and mechanisms
To facilitate the beginning student an appreciation of recent developments in
materials engineering

4. Design the heat treatments that result in the following microstructures 2 hours
(a)Coarse pearlite (b) Medium/Fine pearlite (c) 100% Martensite (d)
Martensite and retained austenite
5. Compare the microstructures of the given steel sample before and after 3 hours
heat treatment. Also measure the hardness of the samples
6. Perform the hardness examination on the given samples using Rockwell 2 hours
Hardness Tester and find out the equivalent Vickers hardness in HV.
7. Perform the phase analysis using XRD 2 hours
8. Conduct the tensile studies on the given sample and infer whether the 2 hours
given sample is ductile or brittle. Evaluate the elastic and plastic
properties of the given sample.
9. A fractured sample is given for assessment to interpret the reasons for 2 hours
fracture. What are the various metallurgical tests to be carried out to
infer the same?
10. Conduct the corrosion studies on the given sample using hours
electrochemical cell. What is the inference drawn from the polarization
curves?
11. Perform high temperature corrosion studies on the given sample at 3 hours
500C in air oxidation and analyze the microstructure before and after
corrosion
Total Laboratory Hours 30 hours
