For Materials Science & Engineering 3rd Sem scheme and its subjects, do visit MSE 3rd Sem 2021 regulation scheme. The detailed syllabus of microstructural analysis laboratory is as follows.
Course Objectives:
The main learning objective of this course is to prepare students for:
- Having hands on experience on the preparation of samples for microscopic examination.
- Analysing the microstructure of plain carbon steels and its influence on the properties of materials
- Interpreting the microstructure of the cast irons and its effect on the mechanical properties.
- Distinguishing the microstructures of the different stainless steels and high-speed steels.
- Examining the banded structures in steels, structure of welded joints and copper alloys.
List of Experiments:
- Mounting and preparation of metallurgical samples.
- Study of metallurgical microscope and sample preparation.
- Quantitative Metallography & image analysis.
- Macro etching – cast, forged and welded components.
- Electrolytic Etching and Polishing
- Microscopic examination of cast irons – Gray, White, Malleable and Nodular types
- Microscopic examination of Plain carbon steels (low carbon, medium carbon, high carbon steels).
- Microscopic examination of Austenitic Stainless steels and High Speed Steels.
- Microscopic examination of welded joints.
- Microscopic examination of Copper alloys
Course Outcomes:
Upon completion of the Course, the students will be able to:
- Prepare the samples for microscopic examination
- Recognize the microstructures of various ferrous and non- ferrous materials
- Differentiate the different types of cast irons based on their morphology and analyse the effect of the processing on the microstructure.
- Interpret the microstructures of various materials and also understand the effect of the various phase constituents on the properties of the materials
- Perform a quantitative analysis on any given microstructure.
