Course Content
CRYSTALLOGRAPHY: Classifications of materials- metals, Ceramics, Composites, Polymer – properties of engineering
materials – Structure of solid metals –BCC, FCC and HCP structures, atomic packing factor, polymorphism- Miller indices.
Metallographic analysis- Optical microscope, SEM, TEM.
MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR: Defects in crystals -point defects line defect edge and screw dislocations – propagation of
dislocation - Frank Read source – surface imperfections - diffusion - mechanisms of diffusion - Fick’s Laws of diffusion – plastic
, deformation- slip and twinning – recovery re-crystallization and grain growth.- strengthening mechanisms strain hardening
precipitation hardening.
FAILURE OF MATERIALS: Fracture – ductile and brittle fracture - Griffith’s theory of crack propagation protection against
fracture-Creep- mechanisms of creep – creep resistant materials. Fatigue failure, SN curve- prevention of fatigue, failure.
PHASE DIAGRAMS: Solid solution, Phases- phase diagrams- Gibbs phase rule- cooling curves, types of Equilibrium diagrams,
lever rule –Iron –Iron Carbide equilibrium diagram
HEAT TREATMENT OF STEEL & NON FERROUS ALLOYS: Annealing normalizing - spheroidising- hardening, tempering
– Hardenability, Case hardening of steels- carburizing- nitriding, induction hardening- flame hardening, Age hardening of
Aluminium alloys
