Classification of Materials
Types of Materials
Materials can be divided into the following categories
Crystalline Amorphous
Crystalline Materials
These are materials containing one or many crystals. In each crystal, atoms or ions show a long range periodic arrangement. All metals and alloys are crystalline materials. These include iron, steel, copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, duralumin , uranium, thorium etc.

Amorphous Material
The term amorphous refers to materials that do not have regular, periodic arrangement of atoms Glass is an amorphous material
Ceramics
Structural Ceramics (high-temperature load bearing) Refractories (corrosion-resistant, insulating) Whitewares (e.g. porcelains) Glass Electrical Ceramics (capacitors, insulators, transducers, etc.) Chemically Bonded Ceramics (e.g. cement and concrete)

Engineering Materials
Properties of Materials
An alternative to major classes, you may divide materials into classification according to important properties. One goal of materials engineering is to select materials with suitable properties for a given application, so its a sensible approach. Just as for classes of materials, there is some overlap among the properties, so the divisions are not always clearly defined

Ductility
Ductility is the ability of the material to stretch or bend permanently without breaking.
19
Ductility
Ductility is a measure of the deformation at fracture Defined by percent elongation or percent reduction in area
Strength
Yield strength is the stress that has to be exceeded so that the material begins to deform plastically. Tensile strength is the maximum stress which a material can withstand without breaking.
21
Hardness
Hardness is the resistance to penetration of the surface of a material.
22
23
Toughness
Toughness
= the ability to absorb energy up to fracture = the total area under the strain-stress curve up to fracture
D.D. Johnson 2004, 2006-10
Fatigue
Fatigue failure is the failure of material under fluctuating load.
25
Creep
Creep is the time dependent permanent deformation under a constant load at high temperature.

Metals
Metals can be classified as
Ferrous
Ferrous material include iron and its alloys (steels and cast irons)
Non-ferrous
Non-ferrous materials include all other metals and alloys except iron and its alloys. Non-ferrous materials include Cu, Al. Ni etc. and their alloys such as brass, bronze, duralumin etc.

Cast iron
Cast irons are alloys of iron and carbon in which carbon content is more than 2%. Other alloying elements may be present in cast irons.

Steel
Steels are alloys of iron and carbon in which carbon content is less than 2%. Other alloying elements may be present in steels.
37
38
Alloy Steel
These are alloys of iron containing carbon up to 2% along with other alloying elements such as Cr, Mo, W etc. for specific properties. They can be further divided on the basis of total alloy content (Other than carbon) present in them as given below.
Low alloy steel (Total alloy content < 2%) Medium alloy steel (Total alloy content 2 - 5%) High alloy steel (Total alloy content > 5%)

Cast iron
Cast irons are alloys of iron and carbon containing more than 2% carbon. They may also contain other alloying elements. They can be further divided as below
White cast iron Grey cast iron Malleable cast iron S.G. iron

Cast iron
White cast iron contains carbon in the form of cementite (Fe3C). Grey cast iron contains carbon in the form of graphite flakes. Malleable cast iron is obtained by heat treating white cast iron and contains rounded clumps of graphite formed from decomposition of cementite. S.G. iron contain carbon in the form of spheroidal graphite particles during solidification. It is also known as nodular cast iron.

Types of Ceramics
Structural Ceramics (high-temperature load bearing) Refractory (corrosion-resistant, insulating) White wares (e.g. porcelains) Glass Electrical Ceramics (capacitors, insulators, transducers, etc.) Chemically Bonded Ceramics (e.g. cement and concrete)
46
Where metals react readily with chemicals in the environment and have low application temperatures in many cases, ceramics do not suffer from these drawbacks.
Ceramics have high-resistance to environment as they are essentially metals that have already reacted with the environment, e.g. Alumina (Al2O3) and Silica (SiO2, Quartz).
Ceramics are heat resistant. Ceramics form both in crystalline and non-crystalline phases because they can be cooled rapildy from the molten state to form glassy materials.

Polymers
49
Polymers
Plastics
Thermoplastics (acrylic, nylon, polyethylene, ABS,) Thermosets (epoxies, Polymides, Phenolics, ) Elastomers (rubbers, silicones, polyurethanes, )
50
51
Polymers are attractive because they are usually lightweight and inexpensive to make, and usually very easy to process, either in molds, as sheets, or as coatings.
Most are very resistant to the environment. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to be easy to bend, which makes them very useful as insulation for electrical wires.
52
Applications and Examples Adhesives and glues Containers Moldable products (computer casings, telephone handsets, disposable razors) Clothing and upholstery material (vinyls, polyesters, nylon) Water-resistant coatings (latex) Biodegradable products (corn-starch packing peanuts) Liquid crystals Low-friction materials (teflon) Synthetic oils and greases Gaskets and O-rings (rubber) Soaps and surfactants

Ductility (%EL)
Increasing temperature normally reduces the strength of a material. Polymers are suitable only at low temperatures. Some composites, special alloys, and ceramics, have excellent properties at high temperatures

Strength-to-weight ratio
Density is mass per unit volume of a material, usually expressed in units of g/cm3 or lb/in.3 Strength-to-weight ratio is the strength of a material divided by its density; materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio are strong but lightweight.

Goals
Understand the origin and relationship between processing, structure, properties, and performance.
Use the right material for the right job. Help recognize within your discipline the design opportunities offered by materials selection.
While nano-, bio-, smart- materials can make technological revolution, conservation and re-use methods and policies can have tremendous environmental and technological impacts!

These tragedies changed the way aircraft were designed and the materials that were used.
The square windows were a "stress concentrator" and the aluminum alloys used were not "strong" enough to withstand the stresses.
Until then, material selection for mechanical design was not really considered in designs.

Conclusions
Engineering Requires Consideration of Materials The right materials for the job - sometimes need a new one. We will learn about the fundamentals of Processing Structure Properties Performance
We will learn that sometime only simple considerations of property requirements chooses materials.
Consider in your engineering discipline what materials that are used and why.
