MANUFACTURING
Is
the process in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.
ORGANIC MATERIALS
INORGANIC MATERIALS
Engineering Materials are solid materials that have a solid structure. These are used to give durable products their framework.
Nonengineering Materials (Gases & Liquids) must have a container if they are to be held in a particular shape. FUELS, LUBRICANTS AND WATER
Metallic Materials
Metals
are the most widely used group of engineering materials. Three-fourths of all natural elements are classified as metals. These materials have desirable mechanical and physical properties. Metallic materials are inorganic, crystal substances. They are generally combined with other materials to produce an alloy.
All
ferrous metals (irons and steels) are classified as ironcarbon alloys. Iron is the fundamental ingredient for all ferrous metals while carbon is the most important alloying element in determining the mechanical properties of ferrous metals.
Carbon Steel
Carbon Steel
Are generally classified as:
Low Carbon steel Has less than 0.30 % carbon. It is used for common industrial products such as bolts, nuts, sheet, plates, etc. Medium Carbon Steel Has 0.30 to 0.60 % carbon. It is used in application requiring higher strength than low carbon steel. High Carbon Steel. Has more than 0.60 % carbon. They are coarse materials that can be hardened by heat treatment.
Stainless Steel Are characterized primarily by their common resistance, high strength and ductility and high chromium content.
High Speed Steel Mostly highly alloyed tool and die steels and maintain their hardness and a strength at elevating operating temperatures.
The
most commonly used nonferrous metal Conducts heat well and is fairly chemically inert Commonly used in cookware and food preservation, transformation (aircraft and aerospace application)
high strength-toweight ratio Resistance to corrosion by many chemicals High thermal and electrical conductivity
Nontoxicity
Reflectivity Appearance Nonmagnetic
Best
conductor of electricity and heat and have good corrosion resistance Tough, ductile material. Can be drawn or hammered easily into new shapes without breaking
Bronze
Nickel
Used as the base metal for silver-plated dinnerware, springs, electrical connectors, and boat parts
Tin
Soft, malleable material that melts at a fairly low temperature Used as an alloying element and as a coating for steel Heavy, soft, malleable material Used in storage batteries
Lead
Titanium
Discovered in 1791 but was not commercially produced until the 1950s High strength-to-weight ratio
Beryllium
Steel gray in color; has high strength-to-weight ratio Used in nuclear and x-ray applications
Zirconium
Has god strength and ductility at elevated temperature and good corrosion resistance Used in electronic components and nuclear power reactor
Zinc
Bluish-white in color The fourth most utilized metal after iron, aluminum and copper Used in galvanizing iron and steel sheet and wire, and as a base for casting

PLASTIC
SYNTHETIC RESIN
Synthetic polymers
and also called as polymers, plastics and synthetic resin.
Plastics
Comes from the greek word plastikos meaning it can be molded and shaped. are composed of polymer molecules and various additives. The smallest repetitive unit in a polymer chain is called mer/monomers.
There are over 25 families of monomers including ethylyne, vinyl chloride, styrene, propylene, acrylic, phenolic, silicon and epoxy. -Plastics are the base for what has been called the "material revolution" -The earliest synthetic (manmade) polymer was a phenol- formaldehyde, a thermoset developed in 1906 and called bakelite (a trade name, after L.H. Bakeland)
THERMOSETS
THERMOPLASTICS
THERMOPLASTICS
- materials that have polymer chains with few cross links - it becomes soft and are easy to form at elevated temperatures and return to their original properties when cooled. -examples are polyolefins polyethylene and polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene
THERMOSETS
- are obtained by cross linking polymer chains, do not become soft to any significant extent with increasing temperature. Example: handles on a toaster, iron or kettle
Elastomers
- have characteristic ability to undergo large elastic deformations without rupture, soft and have a low elastic modulus. -polymer that extend elastically more than 200% and are capable of full recovery. Example: polyester thermoplastic elastomer, polyurethane and silicone thermosetting elastomers.
Ceramic Materials
CERAMICS
Refers to both material and product itself. Contains of mostly inorganic and crystalline materials Most rigid and least ductile of all materials Ceramic products are shaped by various casting, forming or pressing techniques Used for dinnerware, sanitary ware, etc.
CERAMICS ARE LARGE FAMILY OF MATERIALS THAT INCLUDE: Clay Cements Plaster and Gypsum Refractories Glass Porcelain Enamel Abrasives
Clays- are fine grain sheetlike structure sediments composed of alumina and silica. Cements- powders that are when mixed with water turns into a solid form. Plaster and Gypsum- hydrated calcium sulfate mineral used in building plaster and wall board
Refractories- ceramics that withstand high temperatures. Glass- ceramics that is predominantly crystalline in structure made from fusing silica. Porcelain enamel- are vitrified ceramic used in chemical and electrical applications Abrasives- used to remove, smooth and polish materials from the workpiece surface.
Composite Materials
COMPOSITE
Macroscopic combinations of two or more distinct materials. Designed to provide properties or behavior so that one material overcome the weakness of another. Contains a structural element (glass fibers, gravel, cellulose) in form of polymeric, metallic, and ceramic materials being used both as fibers and matrix.
Composed of two phases namely: Matrix continuous phase that surrounds the second phase Fibers / Reinforcement discontinuous disperse phase
or
Used for manufacturing hundreds of products including aircraft, automotive and truck bodies, and shower stalls
Fiber glass most common composite material consisting of resin (matrix) and silicon glass (fiber) Concrete a composite material consisting of cement, gravel, and sand. Wood a natural polymeric composite. The base material is cellulose fibers that are held in place by lignin.
