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:
- Mounting and preparation of metallurgical samples.
- Study of metallurgical microscope and sample preparation.
- Quantitative Metallography and 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 banded structure in steels and welded joints.
- 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.
