Course content

Experiments involving processing, structural characterization and property evaluation of steel. The topics that would be covered are : Processing: melting and casting, heat treatment, thermo-mechanical processing, sheet metal forming and welding. Structural characterization: phase transformation, electron microscopy, crystallography by using modern techniques. Properties: mechanical properties (like fatigue, fracture toughness, integrity assessment) relating to structure and processing, corrosion evaluation.
