EXECUTIVE B.TECH PROGRAMME

The course on Physical Metallurgy aims to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles governing the behavior and properties of metals. The objective is to equip students with a systematic understanding of crystal structures, phase diagrams, solidification, and various metallurgical processes. Through an organized methodology that encompasses both theoretical insights and practical applications, the module covers crucial topics including diffusion, microstructure, and the mechanical properties of metals. Key learning outcomes include the ability to critically evaluate phase diagrams and transformation processes, as well as an understanding of the relationship between microstructure and engineering properties of metallic materials. The systematic exploration of alloy types, heat treatment processes, and their relevance to real-world engineering problems further enhances students' awareness of current issues in the field. By connecting these principles to practical scenarios, the course seeks to foster a critical awareness of how to exploit structural alloys in various applications. Overall, the module provides essential knowledge that is vital for those pursuing further studies and careers in metallurgical and materials engineering.
