Non-ferrous metallurgy is the subject of semester V of Anna University B.E Material Science And Engineering Syllabus. In this article, we are glad to provide the syllabus of the non-ferrous metallurgy part of Semester V Subjects in the first-year course.
We intend to provide the subject code ML3502 – Non-Ferrous Metallurgy syllabus based on regulation 2021 by Anna University. You can get an idea of the topics in the syllabus of the non-ferrous metallurgy. We hope that the absolute idea on the syllabus will assist the students in avoiding confusion of revision according to weightage. We also include required textbooks and references. If you require anything regarding the syllabus you can comment in the below section. Hope you like this information. Don’t forget to share.
If you want to know more about the syllabus of B.E. Material Science And Engineering connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E. Material Science And Engineering Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.
Aim Of Objectives:
The main learning objective of this course is to prepare students for:
- Understanding the structure, property relations of nonferrous alloys with special emphasis on engineering applications.
- Gaining knowledge on the important alloys used for critical applications.
- Having an insight on the phase diagrams of industrially relevant portions of some important alloys.
- Acquiring knowledge on the selection of suitable non-ferrous alloy for a given application.
- Being well versed with the properties and applications of precious metals.
