SEM III (2024-2025)

Engineering Materials and Metallurgy is a core course for second-year Mechanical Engineering students, offering a comprehensive introduction to the properties, behavior, and applications of materials essential in engineering. This course provides foundational knowledge of metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composites, emphasizing their structure, characteristics, and uses in modern engineering solutions.

The course covers atomic structure, crystallography, and phase diagrams, helping students understand how material properties are influenced by their internal structure. Students explore key topics in metallurgy, including heat treatment, strengthening mechanisms, and microstructural analysis, to learn how materials can be modified to meet specific engineering requirements.

Through laboratory experiments and case studies, students gain practical insights into the testing and evaluation of materials, including hardness testing, tensile strength, and impact resistance. This hands-on experience enables students to assess material suitability for various applications and make informed decisions in engineering design.

By the end of the course, students will understand how to select appropriate materials based on mechanical, thermal, and environmental considerations, making them adept at addressing the material demands of modern mechanical systems and laying the groundwork for advanced studies in materials science and mechanical design.
