ML5311: Microstructural Analysis Laboratory Syllabus for MSE 3rd Sem 2019 Regulation Anna University

Microstructural Analysis Laboratory detailed syllabus for Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) for 2019 regulation curriculum has been taken from the Anna Universities official website and presented for the MSE students. For course code, course name, number of credits for a course and other scheme related information, do visit full semester subjects post given below.

For Materials Science & Engineering 3rd Sem scheme and its subjects, do visit MSE 3rd Sem 2019 regulation scheme. The detailed syllabus of microstructural analysis laboratory is as follows.

Course Objective:

• To provide a hands on experience to understand the effect of heat treatments on the microstructural behavior of some common types of metals and alloys.

List of Experiments:

1. Mounting and preparation of metallurgical samples.
2. Study of metallurgical microscope and sample preparation.
3. Quantitative Metallography and image analysis.
4. Macro etching – cast, forged and welded components.
5. Electrolytic Etching and Polishing
6. Microscopic examination of cast irons – Gray, White, Malleable and Nodular types
7. Microscopic examination of Plain carbon steels (low carbon, medium carbon, high carbon steels).
8. Microscopic examination of Austenitic Stainless steels and High Speed Steels.
9. Microscopic examination of banded structure in steels and welded joints.
10. Microscopic examination of Copper alloys

Course Outcome:

Students will be able:

• To prepare the samples for microscopic examination
• To recognize the microstructures of various ferrous and non- ferrous materials
• To differentiate the different types of cast irons based on their morphology and analyse the effect of the processing on the microstructure.
• To interpret the microstructures of various materials and also understand the effect of the various phase constituents on the properties of the materials
• To perform a quantitative analysis on any given microstructure.
