ENG-45L – Lab Syllabus

Properties of Materials Laboratory FALL Quarter, 2010 Syllabus

An electronic version of this document for this class is available online at: smartsite.ucdavis.edu

LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS The experiments to be done in this course, in the order they will be done, are:

1. Bonding: Student will investigate a variety of physical properties associated with differing bond types

2. Mechanical Properties: basic mechanical properties as determined by standard tensile and hardness tests

3. Equilibrium Phase Diagrams, the Bi-Sn System: Identify several unknown % diagram using cooling curves for a range of samples of bismuth and tin

4. Recovery, Recrystallization, and Grain Growth: practical and scientific issues dealing with the relationships between properties, processing and structure of materials. Cartridge brass (70/30 Cu/Zn) is annealed and then hardness and tensile tested to observe the changes in a number of mechanical properties. The microstructures are then examined to see how annealing changed the material’s grain structure.

LAB MANUAL

The laboratory manual is available at Davis Copy Shop, located at the corner of University and Third streets. Please use for reference for use of equipment in Kemper 163. You are NOT required to purchase a printed copy.

*IMPORTANT* The lab manual contains general information for the E45 lab class including lab safety, lab report formatting, experimental procedures and additional reference materials. The lab manual is a general aide for the class and not everything in the lab manual will be utilized within the lab. Your TA will inform you as to the specific requirements and expectations for the class.

LAB SAFETY

Protective eye-wear must be worn in the laboratories when experiments are being conducted. Safety glasses are recommended, but safety goggles will be acceptable. A small amount eye protection is provided. Close-toed shoes must also be worn at all times. Anyone not wearing their safety glasses or wearing improper shoes will not be allowed to continue working in the laboratory. Additional safety information is available in your laboratory manual and on the laboratory course’s web site.

CALENDAR

Everyone should attend their first discussion section during the first week of class on Sept 24 – April 2nd. Your TAs will divide the class into sections A and B.
