Materials Structure and Properties Syllabus for B.Tech 3rd sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Materials Structure and Properties B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
The subject introduces the correlation of properties of materials and their structure. It revises student’s knowledge of crystal structure and phase diagrams of various alloy systems. The course not only covers metals, mainly ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, but also structures and properties of ceramics, polymers, elastomers and composites.
UNIT I : STRUCTURE OF SOLIDS [10 Hours]
Overview of Crystal Structure – Solid Solutions-Hume Rothery Rules-Crystal Imperfections- Point Defects- Line Defects-Surface Defects-Bulk Defects-Critical nucleus size and Critical Free energy- Mechanism of Crystallisation- Nucleation Homogeneous and Heterogenous Nucleation- Growth – Single crystal Polycrystalline Materials – Basic principles of solidification of metals and alloys. Growth of crystals- Planar growth – dendritic growth – Solidification time – Cooling curves – Non-crystalline solids- Glass Transition Temperature
UNIT II : PHASE DIAGRAMS [10 Hours]
Phase Rule –Unary System- Binary Phase diagrams- Isomorphous systems-Congruent phase diagrams – Free energy Composition curves- Construction Microstructural changes during cooling- Tie Line- Lever Rule- Eutectic , Peritectic, Eutectoid and Peritectoid reactions- Typical Phase diagrams – Cu-Zn System – Pb-Sn system- Ag-Pt system-Iron-Iron carbide Equilibrium Diagram
UNIT III : FERROUS AND NON FERROUS MATERIALS [9 Hours]
Classification of steels and cast iron –Microstructure– Effect of alloying elements on steel- Ferrous alloys and their applications – Factors affecting conductivity of a metal – Electrical Resistivity in alloys – Thermal conductivity of metals and alloys – High Resistivity alloys –Some important Titanium alloys, Nickel alloys, Copper alloys, Magnesium alloys and Aluminium alloys.
