OBJECTIVE:
Develop the knowledge on the structure, properties, Heat treatment, testing of various
materials.
Understands the applications of Engineering metals and non-metallic materials. Identify
and select suitable materials for various engineering applications.
Review (Not for Exam):
Crystal structure – BCC, FCC and HCP structure – unit cell – crystallographic planes and
directions, miller indices – crystal imperfections, point, line, planar and volume defects – Grain
size, ASTM grain size number- Atomic Diffusion
UNIT I ALLOYS AND PHASE DIAGRAMS 9
Constitution of alloys – Solid solutions, substitutional and interstitial – phase diagrams,
Isomorphous, eutectic, eutectoid, peritectic and peritectoid reactions, Iron – carbon equilibrium
diagram. Classification of steel, properties and applications.
UNIT II HEAT TREATMENT OF METALS 9
Purpose of Heat treatment– Full annealing, stress relief, recrystallization and spheroidising –
normalizing, hardening and tempering of steel. Isothermal transformation diagrams – cooling
curves superimposed on I.T. diagram, CCR – Hardenability, Jominy end quench test –
Austempering, martempering – case hardening, carburizing, Nitriding, cyaniding, carbonitriding
– Flame and Induction hardening – Vacuum and Plasma hardening.
UNIT III FERROUS AND NON-FERROUS METALS 9
Effect of alloying additions on steel- α and β stabilizers– stainless and tool steels – HSLA,
Maraging steels – Cast Iron – Grey, white, malleable, spheroidal – alloy cast irons, Copper and
copper alloys – Brass, Bronze and Cupronickel – Aluminium alloys and Al-Cu – precipitation
strengthening treatment – Mg-alloys, Bearing alloys, Ni-based super alloys and Titanium alloys.
UNIT IV NON-METALS & SMART MATERIALS 9

thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers - Engineering Ceramics – Properties and applications-
Composites- Classifications- Fiber Reinforced Polymer, Metal Matrix Composites, Ceramic
Matrix Composites-Applications of Composites, Fiber Optic materials, Piezo Electrics – Shape
Memory Alloys.
UNIT V MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND DEFORMATION MECHANISMS 9
Mechanisms of plastic deformation, slip and twinning – Types of fracture – Testing of materials
under tension, compression and shear loads – Hardness tests (Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell)
hardness tests, Impact test- lzod and charpy, fatigue and creep failure mechanisms-testing.
