Course Goals To understand the relationship between material structure and material properties To comprehend dislocation and plastic deformation involved in the strengthening of materials and in fracture mechanics To use the phase diagrams in predicting the phase transformations that will occur during thermal processing and fabrication of metals Course Outline I. II. INTRODUCTION TO METAL STRUCTURE structure of metals, crystal structure (BCC,FCC,HCP), miller indices, metallography PHASES AND PHASE DIAGRAMS review of phase diagrams and related concepts such as inverse lever rule and Gibbs phase rule , invariant reactions, Fe-C phase diagram FORMATION OF MICROSTRUCTURE Solidification process, diffusion, nucleation and growth, eutectic and eutectoid equilibrium transformations PLASTIC DEFORMATION and STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS crystal defects, discrepancy between the theoretical and observed yield strength, types of dislocations, Burgers vector, the stress field of dislocations, dislocation generators, slip systems, CRSS, work hardening, Orowan equation, dislocation and grain boundaries, twinning, grain boundary refinement, solid solution strengthening, precipitation hardening, strain hardening, recovery, recrystallization PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS the Fe-C system, phase transformation of austenite, development of microstructures in Fe-C alloys and accompanying property changes, ITT and CTT diagrams, athermal and diffusion-based transformation THERMAL PROCESSING OF METALS stress-relief anneal, normalizing, full anneal, quenching, tempering; metal fabrication processes (casting and forming operations such as forging, rolling, extrusion, drawing, powder metallurgy, welding etc.) and resulting microstructures and properties

1.0 Attendance 1.1 Checking. Attendance will be checked every meeting by signing on the provided attendance sheet. Failure to

sign within 30 min. marks the student absent. 1.2 Absences. A student who misses more than six (6) mtgs., will be (a) given a grade of 5.0 if majority of the absences are unexcused, or (b) dropped from the course if majority of the absences are excused. 1.3 Excused Absences. Valid excuses for being absent in class are (1) illness, or (2) death of a member of the immediate family. The respective proof will be presented upon return to class in a form of (1) a medical certificate from the University Health Service, or (2) a death certificate. No proof, no consideration. 2.0 Requirements 2.1 Examinations. There will be three (3) long examinations (LE) and one final exam (FE). Each student will be required to submit four (4) bluebooks by November 17 (Th) at 5:00PM. The students name should appear at the upper left-hand corner at the back of the bluebooks. 2.2 Additional Requirements. Quizzes, class exercises, problem sets, and assignments may be given and these will be submitted during class hours. Deductions of 20% per day late will be imposed. The cumulative scores of the will be taken as one long examination included in the CS. 2.3 Intellectual Honesty. Any form of intellectual dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly. 3.0 Grading System 3.1 Class Standing will be computed as follows: CS = (LE1+LE2+LE3+AR)/4 3.2 General Average will be computed as follows: If CS 68 and no CS component <60, then GA = CS If not exempted, then GA = 0.7*CS + 0.3*FE 3.3 Missed Examination. Students who fail to take at least one (1) LE will automatically be required to take the FE. Those with valid excuses will have the FE grade adapted for one (1) missed LE. Unexcused students will get a grade of zero. 3.4 Final Grade. The final grade corresponding to the GA is given below:
GA 92 GA 88 GA < 92 84 GA < 88 80 GA < 84 76 GA < 80 72 GA < 76 Final Grade 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 2.25 GA 68 GA < 72 64 GA < 68 60 GA < 64 55 GA < 60 GA < 55 Final Grade 2.50 2.75 3.00 4.00 5.00

4.0 Dates to Remember 4.1 Lantern Parade. December 16, 2011 4.2 Resumption of Classes. January 3, 2012 4.3 Deadline for Dropping. February 20, 2012 4.4 Last Day of Classes. March 21, 2012 4.5 Period of Final Exams. March 23-31, 2012 4.6 Deadline for Submission of Grades. April 10, 2012
