Content :

Lab B1 : Atomic Arrangement in the Solid Structure and Crystal Structure

- Determining the Bravais structure of the atomic configuration in solids. 

Lab B2 : Porosity and Density

- Calculating the density and the percent porosity of ceramics using the Archimedes Principle. 

Lab B3 : Hardenability Test (Jominy End-Quench) ASTM A 255

- Obtaining hardness value of carbon steel which subjected to Jominy End-Quench process and corelating ‘hardness’ versus ‘distance from the quenching end.

Lab B4 : Heat Treatment of Plain-Carbon Steels

- Examining the resulting microstructure from various heat treatment procedures on carbon steel.

Lab P5 : Failure of Brittle Materials

- Determining the Modulus of Ruptue (MOR) and study the fracture surface.

Lab M6 : Electroplating (open ended lab)

- Differentiate the coating properties, based on two designated electroplating process parameters; types of metal and time.
