Detailed version
Introduction: Materials processing science with special emphasis on processing of polymers, ceramics and metals
Polymer processing: Rheology of polymeric materials, Compounding of plastics, processing techniques: Compression, Transfer, injection, blow molding, Extrusion, Calendaring, Thermoforming, Rotational molding, Compounding and processing of rubber (both latex and dry rubber) with different formulations: Casting, rubber extrusion, Dip coating (gloves, balloons etc.), fibre spinning and manufacturing processes.
Ceramic processing: Processing of traditional ceramics- spray granulation, Pressing, CIP, HIP, Slurry processing, Slip casting, Pressure casting, Tape casting, Gel casting, Injection molding, Extrusion; Rapid prototyping through Additive manufacturing, Electrophoretic deposition, Production of ceramic fibres, Electro-spinning; Drying, Binder burnout, Green machining, Sintering; Sol-gel processing, Thermal and plasma spraying, Thick and thin film coatings- PVD and CVD techniques; Vapor infiltration techniques
Metallic processing: Casting process- major casting techniques, Solidification and volume shrinkage, Casting design and defects, Fundamentals of deformation processing, Deformation work, Hot and cold working, Few forming processes and defects; Metal joining process- Concepts of Fusion and solid state welding processes, Brazing and soldering, Welding defects;
Design aspects: General principles of materials selection and design based on requirements of function, Property, Processability and cost; Quantitative methods of materials selection, Materials performance index; Design of engineering structures from the atomic- and nano-scales to macroscopic levels; Case studies- modern metallic, ceramic, polymeric and biomaterials devices and components
