Description:
The Metallurgy Lab of the Mechanical Engineering Department at BAUET is equipped with advanced instruments that support the analysis, processing, and characterization of engineering materials. This lab provides students with the opportunity to explore the microstructural and thermal properties of metals and alloys through hands-on experiments.
Major Equipment and Facilities:
The Metallurgy Lab is well-equipped with the following essential apparatus, each offering unique learning opportunities:
- Metallurgical Microscope
A high-resolution optical microscope that allows students to examine the microstructure of metallic samples. It plays a critical role in identifying grain size, phase distribution, inclusions, and other structural characteristics essential for material evaluation and quality control.
- Digital Metallurgical Polishing Machine
Used to prepare metal samples for microscopic examination. This machine polishes samples to a mirror finish, removing surface irregularities to reveal the underlying microstructure clearly.
- Muffle Furnace
A high-temperature furnace used for various heat treatment processes such as annealing, normalizing, tempering, and hardening. This equipment enables thermal studies and phase transformation observations.
- Digital Scale
Provides precise measurements of small sample masses, essential for accurate formulation and preparation in experiments involving alloys and powdered materials.
- Ball Mill Machine
Used for grinding and mixing metallic and ceramic powders into fine particles. It supports research in materials processing, nanomaterials, and powder metallurgy applications.
- Vacuum Drying Oven
Removes moisture from metal powders and sensitive specimens under controlled temperature and vacuum conditions. It is particularly useful for preparing materials for thermal or electrical characterization.
