MTEN 301 — Materials Laboratory I

Materials Science and Engineering · University of Ghana

This course treats the fundamental Mechanical testing techniques often used to assess environmental degradation of materials. Students will be introduced to some of the important techniques such as Charpy V-notch impact mechanical test for determining qualitative results for material properties and performance which are useful in engineering design, analysis of structures, and materials development. Others include Rockwell hardness, superficial hardness, microhardness, durometer hardness etc Part I: Laboratory experiments on mechanical properties and behavior of homogeneous and composite engineering materials subjected to static, dynamic, creep, and fatigue loads; behavior of cracked bodies; microstructure-property relationships, and determination of materials properties for use in engineering design. Part II: Structure and Properties, Phase transformation, Processes of precipitation/ Recovery, Recrystallization and Grain Growth, Diffusion, Heat treatment
