AU3017 Advanced Automotive Materials Syllabus:
AU3017 Advanced Automotive Materials Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The objective of this course is to provide the students with the knowledge on properties of engineering materials so as to enable them to select and apply for automotive applications
UNIT I ENGINEERING MATERIALS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
Classes of engineering materials – the evolution of engineering materials, Definition of materials properties, displaying material properties using materials selection charts, Forces for change in materials selection and design, Materials and the environment-selection of materials for automotive applications.
UNIT II BASIS OF MATERIAL SELECTION
Selection strategy, Attribute limits and Material indices, structural index Selection procedure: Design process – types of design, design requirements, Function, Material attributes, Shape and Manufacturing processes. Systematic process selection, Energy consumption for production, Material costs, Availability, Recyclability, Environmental consideration. Computer aided selection.
UNIT III MATERIALS FOR ENGINES AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
Materials selection for IC engines: Piston, piston rings, cylinder, Engine block, Connecting rod, Crank shaft, Fly wheels, Gear box, Gears, Splines, Clutches.
UNIT IV MATERIALS FOR AUTOMOTIVE STRUCTURES
Materials selection for bearings, leaf springs, chassis & frames, Bumper, shock absorbers, wind screens, panels, brake shoes, Disc, wheels, differentials, damping and antifriction fluids, Tires and tubes.
UNIT V ELECTRONIC MATERIALS FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS
