Pre-requisite(s): Physical metallurgy
Microstructure of metals: ferrous alloys (carbon steels), non-ferrous alloys (aluminium, copper, brass), Annealing treatment of a cold worked steel and comparison of the annealed microstructure with the cold worked structure. Microstructure of plain carbon steel with varied carbon content. Normalizing treatment of steel and comparison of the microstructure with annealed structure. Examine the quenched structures of steel – quenched in oil, water and brine solution. Microstructure of quenched and tempered steel: low temperature tempering, medium temperature tempering, and high temperature tempering. Study the recrystallization behaviour and the effects of time and temperature on grain size (grain growth) of a pure metal (Copper). Study the nucleation rate and growth rate of pearlite in eutectoid steel. Jomniny end quench test to study the hardenability of a steel
