This compendium of twenty laboratory experiments on metals and alloys attempts to provide to students of Science and Engineering an insight about the relationship of the physical, specially mechanical properties of metals with grain structures/ microstructures. In almost all the experiments, therefore, the microstructural investigation is provided. Experiments have also been included on the determination of important mechanical and thermal properties and on the aqueous and atmospheric corrosion of metals. Theoretical background of each experiment has been dealt with in good detail in order to enable the student to understand the underlying principles and to appreciate the significance of the experiments.
Information which could not be accommodated in the text of the experiments, has been provided in the form of appendices. These include: reflection microscopy, experimental determination of transition points through cooling curves to get data for plotting phase diagrams, and quenching media for tempering of alloys. In view of the importance of microstructures for some metals and allaoys have also been given.
This book will be useful to the students of materials chemistry and materials science and students of various engineering courses. It will also be helpful to the students of industrial chemistry, practising engineers in metallurgical and mechanical engineering based industries.
