MF9211 ADVANCED MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY
UNIT I ELASTIC AND PLASTIC BEHAVIOR
Elasticity in metals and polymers Anelastic and visco-elastic behaviour – Mechanism of
plastic deformation and non metallic shear strength of perfect and real crystals –
Strengthening mechanisms, work hardening, solid solutioning, grain boundary
strengthening, poly phase mixture, precipitation, particle, fibre and dispersion
strengthening. Effect of temperature, strain and strain rate on plastic behaviour – Super
plasticity – Deformation of non crystalline materials.
UNIT II FRACTURE BEHAVIOUR
Griffith’s theory, stress intensity factor and fracture toughness – Toughening
mechanisms – Ductile, brittle transition in steel – High temperature fracture, creep –
Larson Miller parameter – Deformation and fracture mechanism maps – Fatigue, low
and high cycle fatigue test, crack initiation and propagation mechanisms and Paris law.
Effect of surface and metallurgical parameters on fatigue – Fracture of non metallic
materials – Failure analysis, sources of failure, procedure of failure analysis.
UNIT III SELECTION OF MATERIALS
Motivation for selection, cost basis and service requirements – Selection for mechanical
properties, strength, toughness, fatigue and creep – Selection for surface durability
corrosion and wear resistance – Relationship between materials selection and
processing – Case studies in materials selection with relevance to aero, auto, marine,
machinery and nuclear applications – Computer aided materials selection.
UNIT IV MODERN METALLIC MATERIALS 8
Dual phase steels, High strength low alloy (HSLA) steel, Transformation induced
plasticity (TRIP) Steel, Maraging steel, Nitrogen steel – Intermetallics, Ni and Ti
aluminides – smart materials, shape memory alloys – Metallic glass and nano crystalline
materials.
UNIT V NON METALLIC MATERIALS 7
Polymeric materials – Formation of polymer structure – Production techniques of fibers,
foams, adhesives and coating – structure, properties and applications of engineering
polymers – Advanced structural ceramics, WC, TIC, TaC, Al2O3, SiC, Si3N4 CBN and
