Powder Metallurgy Syllabus for B.Tech 4th 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 Powder Metallurgy B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
This course teaches powder preparation, characterization, compaction and sintering. This knowledge is essential to understand powder metallurgy applications in aerospace, automobile and machining materials.
UNIT I : POWDER MANUFACTURE AND CONDITIONING [12 Hours]
Mechanical methods Machine milling, ball milling, atomization, shotting- Chemical methods, condensation, thermal decomposition, carbonyl Reduction by gas-hydride, dehydride process, electro deposition, precipitation from aqueous solution and fused salts, hydrometallurgical method. Physical methods: Electrolysis and atomisation processes, types of equipment, factors affecting these processes, examples of powders produced by these methods, applications, powder conditioning, heat treatment, blending and mixing, types of equipment, types of mixing and blending, Self- propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), sol-gel synthesis- Nano powder production methods.
UNIT II : CHARACTERISTICS AND TESTING OF METAL POWDERS [8 Hours]
Sampling, chemical composition purity, surface contamination etc. Particle size. and its measurement, Principle and procedure of sieve analysis, microscopic analysis: sedimentation, elutriation, permeability. Adsorption methods and resistivity methods: particle shape, classifications, microstructure. specific surface area. apparent and tap density. green density. green strength, sintered compact density, porosity, shrinkage.
UNIT III : POWDER COMPACTION [7 Hours]
Pressure less compaction: slip casting and slurry casting. pressure compaction- lubrication, single ended and double ended compaction, isostatic pressing, powder rolling, forging and extrusion, explosive compaction.
[TOTAL: 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of this course, the students can able to apply the student will have knowledge about powder metallurgical material and their fabrication processes
