OBJECTIVES

• To learn how actual mechanical properties of different material with magnitude which are used in the engineering for different purpose.
• To detect different types of flaw occurring during the manufacturing of product.
• To learn use of different machines and equipment to improve the mechanical properties of different material and testing of the same for its correctness.
• To build confidence through hands on experiment and analyzing the experimental data for selection of materials for the purpose of design.

LIST OF EXPERIMENTS

• Impact tests: Charpy and Izod tests.
• Test for drawability of sheet metals through cupping test.
• Fatigue test of a typical sample.
• Sample preparation and etching of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys for metallographic observation;
• Experiments on heat treatment of carbon steels under different rates of cooling including quenching,and testing for the change in hardness and observing its microstructural changes through metallographic studies.
• Observation of presence of surface/ sub-surface cracks using different non-destructive techniques, such as dye penetration (DP)test, magnaflux test, ultrasonic or eddy current test.
