Microsoft Word - Metallography Lab Manual

This manual provides an overview of safety protocols and experimental procedures in the Physical Metallurgy Laboratory for B. Tech students in their second year. The objective is to ensure students understand safety guidelines while engaging in practical metallurgical experiments. Methodologically, the manual outlines essential safety practices, including the presence of responsible personnel, the prohibition of hazardous actions, and the requirement for personal protective equipment. Furthermore, it details a series of experiments designed to enhance students' familiarity with metallurgical microscopy, the preparation of metals and alloys, and the microscopic examination of various metals. Results from these practical experiences will allow students to identify and sketch important microstructural features accurately, providing insights into the material properties under study. This manual serves as a crucial resource for developing practical skills and ensuring a safe laboratory environment.
