Introduction: Solid Engineering Materials- their classification and characteristic properties.Structure of solids: crystal systems/lattices, crystal structure, crystallographic planes and directions, interstitial sites, crystallinity in metals, ceramics, semiconductors and polymers. Microstructures. amorphous or glassy state. Solidification of pure metal â homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation processes, cooling curve, concept of supercooling , microstructure of pure metals. Defects in solids â point, line, planar and volume. Fundamentals of plastic deformation of metals, deformation by slip and twin, plastic deformation in polycrystalline metals, concept of cold working, preferred orientation. Annealing: Recovery, recrystallization and grain growth; hot working.Properties of materials: Definition, units and common tests conducted to evaluate important engineering properties like physical, mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, semi/super-conducting, optical, and thermal properties in engineering materials Concept of formation of alloys: Types of alloys, solid solutions, factors affecting solid solubility, order disorder transformation.Binary phase diagrams: isomorphous, eutectic, peritectic, eutectoid and peritectoid systems, effect of non equilibrium cooling, coring and homogenization.Iron-cementite diagram: Construction and interpretation Fe-Fe3C and Fe-Graphite diagrams. Microstructure, and properties of different alloys in steel and cast iron, types of cast iron, their microstructures and typical uses.Heat treatment: T-TT and C-C-T diagrams, concept of heat treatments of steel â annealing, normalizing, hardening and tempering; microstructural effects brought about by these processes and their influence on mechanical properties. Effect of common alloying elements in steel, concept of hardenability, factors affecting it.
