MV3011 Marine Engineering Materials Syllabus:

MV3011 Marine Engineering Materials Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

To Impart Knowledge to the Students on
• Fundamentals of metallurgy
• Heat treatment
• Mechanical properties and testing
• Material processing
• Testing of joints

UNIT I FUNDAMENTALS OF METALLURGY

Basic metallurgy, metals and processes, properties of materials and uses – Metallurgy of steel and cast iron – iron – Iron carbide equilibrium diagram. Classification of steel and cast Iron, microstructure – Aluminum, copper and its alloys – Non-metallic materials – polymers properties – applications of marine materials.

UNIT II HEAT TREATMENT

Definition – Full annealing, stress relief, recrystallization and spheroidizing – normalizing, hardening and tempering of steel. Isothermal transformation diagrams – cooling curves superimposed on I.T. diagram – Hardenability, Jominy end quench test –Austempering, martempering – case hardening – carbu rising, nitriding, cyaniding, carbonitriding, flame and induction hardening – precipitation hardening.

UNIT III MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND TESTING

Mechanism of plastic deformation, slip and twinning – Types of fracture – Failure modes – Testing of materials under tension, compression and shear loads – Hardness tests (Brinell, Vickers and Rockwell), Impact test – Izod and Charpy, Fatigue and creep tests, fracture toughness tests.

UNIT IV MATERIAL PROCESSING

Properties and applications of materials used in machinery on board ships. Engineering processes used in construction and repair. Design characteristics and selection of materials in construction of equipment – Welding, Gas cutting methods.

UNIT V TESTING OF JOINTS

Materials under load, self-secured joints, permanent joints, bonding plastics, adhesives and bonding. Vibration tests. Destructive and non-destructive testing of materials – different methods

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
