Metallurgy Lab
Metallurgy Lab
The Metallurgy Laboratory has facilities such as sample preparation units, metallurgical microscopes, hardness testers such as micro and macro Vickers and digital Rockwell hardness tester. Students prepare metallic specimen by applying the metallurgical sample preparation techniques and study their microstructure under metallurgical microscopes. Students further analyze various features present in the microstructure using Image analyzer software. This helps students to correlate the theory that they studied in the classroom to the real-life materials. Apart from this, the high-temperature furnaces help in developing new microstructures whose mechanical properties are evaluated by the students using hardness testers
