INTRODUCTION
Material : substance of which something is composed or made.

INTRODUCTION
Material Science : A scientific discipline which is primarily concerned with the search for basic knowledge about internal structure, properties and processing materials. Investigating relationships that exist between the structure and properties of materials

INTRODUCTION
Material Engineering : An engineering discipline which is concerned with the use of fundamental and applied knowledge of materials so that they can be converted into products needed or desired by society.
Is, on the basis of these structure-property correlation, designing or engineering the structure of a material to produce a pre-determined set of properties

Structure of materials:

the arrangement of its internal components. subatomic structure involves electrons within the individual atoms and interaction with their nuclei. on atomic level, structure encompasses the organization of atoms or molecules relative to one another.

INTRODUCTION

Properties of materials:
A property is a material trait in terms of the kind and magnitude of response to a specific imposed stimulus. definitions of properties are made independent of material shape and size.

Properties of solid materials may be grouped into six different categories: mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, optical and deteriorative. (i) Mechanical properties relate deformation to an applied load or force. Examples include elastic modulus and strength. (ii) Electrical properties, such as electrical conductivity and dielectric constant, the stimulus are an electric field. (iii) Thermal properties can be represented in terms of heat capacity and thermal conductivity. (iv) Magnetic properties demonstrate the response of a material to the application of a magnetic field. (v) Optical properties, such as index of refraction, the stimulus is electromagnetic and light radiation. (vi) Deteriorative characteristics relate to the chemical reactivity of material

INTRODUCTION
The four components of the discipline of materials science and engineering and their linear interrelationship. Processing Structure Properties Performance

MATERIAL SELECTION
3 criteria on which the final decision is normally based: (i) dictate the properties required of the material (ii) consider of any deterioration of material properties that may occur during service operation (iii) economics

Why study materials science & engineering?

To be able to select a material for a given use based on considerations of cost and performance. To understand the limits of materials and the change of their properties with use. To be able to create a new material that will have some desirable properties

TYPE OF ENGINEERING MATERIALS

Engineering Materials

Metals

Polymers

Ceramics

Composites

METALS

METALS
combinations of metallic elements some properties:
good electrical thermal conductivity high strength high stiffness ductile

metals and alloys are commonly divided into two classes:

Ferrous metals and alloys
contain large percentage of iron examples: steels and cast irons

Nonferrous metals and alloys

do not contain iron or only a relatively small amount of iron examples: aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), titanium (Tn) and nickel (Ni)

METALS
Two categories:
1. Pure metals elements which come from a particular are of the periodic table. Ex: iron, copper and aluminum 2. Metal alloys contain more than one metallic element. Their properties can be changed by changing the elements present in the alloy. Ex: stainless steel, nickel, chromium.

POLYMERS

POLYMERS
has a repeating structure in large chainlike molecules based on a carbon backbone. based on carbon, hydrogen and other nonmetallic elements some properties: low densities thermal and electrical insulators do not have high strengths flexible lightweight corrosion resistant easy to process at low temperatures generally inexpensive

POLYMER

PLASTICS

ELASTOMERS

THERMOPLASTICS

THERMOSETS

 Some applications of thermoplastics: electrical wire insulation bottles toys pens

Some applications of thermosets: melamine (plate) electrical plugs and switches saucepan handles
Some applications of elastomer automobile tires natural rubber

CERAMICS

CERAMICS
inorganic materials (metallic & nonmetallic elements) oxides, nitrides, and carbides crystalline, non-crystalline or a mixture of both Properties at RT:
High melting point High chemical stabilities High hardness High temperature strength Brittle (lack ductility) Poor electrical & thermal conductor Resistance to corrosion

Special properties of some ceramics

are magnetic materials are piezoelectric materials are superconductors at very low temperatures.

Industrial Importance of Ceramics

pottery and other artwork. silicon, a semiconductor but also a ceramic material, has been the material which has made computers possible. ceramic fibers such as graphite and aluminum oxide with their extremely high stiffness have led to the production of fiber-reinforced composites.

COMPOSITES

COMPOSITES
combination of two or more materials a matrix phase + a reinforcing phase Designed to ensure a combination of the best properties of each component material Examples include polymer/ceramic and metal/ceramic composites.

Advantages of composites:
High strength to weight ratio (low density high tensile strength) High creep resistance High tensile strength at elevated temperatures High toughness

Types of composite:
Particle-reinforced composites: Particles used for reinforcing include ceramics and glasses such as small mineral particles, metal particles such as aluminum, and amorphous materials, including polymers and carbon black. An example of particle reinforced composites is an automobile tire which has carbon black particles in a matrix of polyisobutylene elastomeric polymer

Fiber-reinforced composites
Reinforcing fibers can be made of metals, ceramics, glasses, or polymers that have been turned into graphite & known as carbon fibers. Fibers are difficult to process into composites, making fiber-reinforced composites relatively expensive. Used in sports equipment, such as a time-trial racing bicycle frame which consists of carbon fibers in a thermoset polymer matrix. Body parts of race cars and some automobiles are composites made of glass fibers (or fiberglass) in a thermoset matrix.

Laminar

composed of two-dimensional sheets or panels that have a preferred high strength direction such as is found in wood and continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced plastics. One example of a relatively complex structure is modern ski and another example is plywood.

Sandwich Panels:

Consist of two strong outer sheets which are called face sheets and may be made of aluminum alloys, fiber reinforced plastics, titanium alloys, steel. Sandwich panels can be used in variety of applications which include roofs, floors, walls of buildings and in aircraft, for wings, fuselage and tailplane skins
