Course info

The primary aim of this course is to give the students a flavour of the science, engineering and technology of common as well as exotic metals, alloys and materials with suitable demonstrations/experiments Learning Outcomes: At the end of this semester, a student will be able • To be aware of the importance of the materials and their role in the development of various technologies. • To identify the various aspects of the materials science and metallurgy that is going to be learnt in the next 4/5 years. • To obtain an overall understanding of the research activities in this department based on the laboratory visits and various demonstrations in these laboratories. • To relate the performance of materials to their properties, which depend largely on their microstructure that results from a specific processing route. • To classify materials based on their bonding, atomic arrangement, microstructure, their properties and applications. • To identify the pivotal role of atomic imperfections/defects in propertie
