ENGINEERING MATERIALS

Pre-requisite: Preferably for students from non-engineering background

  

(Materials Science programme is inter-disciplinary in nature, with students joining from diverse backgrounds)

 

(Students having metallurgical engineering background will be familiar with the contents)

  Concept of engineering materials – classification – common features (holistic approach) – emphasis on structure property correlations in all classes of materials – differences in properties and performance - techno economic aspects  

Introduction to crystallography - testing of materials – overview of destructive and non – destructive testing

  

Mechanical behaviour of materials – concept of deformation – types of failures – predictive methodologies

  

Concept of phase transformations and some strengthening mechanisms – specific examples and applications of phase transformation and strengthening

   

Design and selection of engineering materials – strategies for improvement as well as replacement – some case studies
