Metallurgy Lab

Objective:
The objective of this lab is to determine the microstructure of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials and also to perform various heat treatment processes. It also has facilities for developing new materials, capturing microstructure and determining mechanical and wear characteristics for various materials. 
Outcome:
After completion of the course students will be able to:

  1. Analyze the properties of materials based on microstructure.
  2. Perform hardness test and heat treatment of steels.


R&D Facilities:

    • Electronoic Tensometer
    • Wear and Friction monitor
    • Melting Furnace
    • Metallurgical microscopes with image capturing facilities.
 

List of Experiments:

1. Preparation and study of the microstructure of pure metals like Iron, Cu and Al.
2. Preparation and study of the microstructure of low carbon steels, medium carbon steel and high carbon steels.
3. Study of the microstructures of gray cast iron, malleable cast iron and nodular cast iron.
4. Study of the microstructures of brass.
5. Study of the microstructures of heat treated steels.
6. Hardenability of steels by Jominy end quench test.
7. Hardness of various treated and untreated steels.
