  2. What are the Three Classifications of materials?

  3. Material Classifications • Natural materials: • Occur in nature • Organic: wood, cotton, hemp • Inorganic: stone, clay, metals • Synthetic: • Human-made: rubber, plastics, nylon, Teflon • Mixed materials: • Combination of natural and synthetic: plywood, paper…etc.

  4. Types of Materials (Close-up) • Woods (Natural & Engineered) • Metal • Plastics • Ceramics • Composites

  5. Types of Materials (Close-up) Woods • Thickness of cell walls determines density. • Color is a function of the chemicals in its cell walls. • Grain is the way wood fibers grow. • (Engineered): • Made by combining particles and fibers of wood with adhesives: wood chips, plywood. • Advantages: more strength per pound

  6. Types of Materials (Close-up) Metal: • Structure determines properties • Good conductors of electricity and heat • These are factors that might influence material selection. • Categorized as: • Ferrous: • Contain iron: steel • Nonferrous: • Do not contain iron: aluminum

  7. Types of Materials (Close-up) Plastics: • Can be made into films, fibers, and solids; molded into a variety of products and shapes. • Most plastics are made from petroleum. • Plastics are polymers. Have an enormous amount of uses. • Have densities less than metals, greater than most woods, and similar to crude oil. (material selection) • Categorized as: • Thermoplastic:can be softened by heat, then hardened again by cooling. • Thermoset:cannot revert once heated and molded.

  8. Types of Materials (Close-up) Ceramics: (material selection) • Made from clay and nonmetallic inorganic materials • Have an atomic structure that forms a 3-D geometric shape • Compounds formed by combinations of metallic and nonmetallic elements • High melting points; high strength and hardness; resistant to wear; brittle; can be transparent, translucent, or opaque; low densities • Sometimes a better choice then metal because it tolerates heat well and is an electrical insulator.

  9. Types of Materials (Close-up) Composites: • Combination of two or more materials with different properties • Materials retain separate identities • Formed by using materials of two types: • Matrix material • Reinforcement material (fiber) • Often lighter and provide similar or greater strength applications • Cost of manufacturing is significantly higher. • Often used in decks because it is resistant to rotting and insect damage. • Categorized into three matrix types: • Polymer, metallic, and ceramic

  10. Types of Materials (Close-up) Why Composites?

  11. What are some properties of materials?

  12. Properties of Materials Key ideas: • Materials are chosen based on properties that make them appropriate for particular applications. • Categories: • Physical, mechanical, electrical, chemical, magnetic, thermal, optical, and acoustic.

  13. Properties of Materials Mechanical: • Those that influence a material’s ability to endure and withstand applied forces • Mechanical Testing: • Strength • Hardness • Ductility • Elasticity • Plasticity • Malleability • Brittleness • Toughness • Yield Point

  14. Elastic limit (yield strength) • Beyond the elastic limit, permanent deformation will occur. • The lowest stress at which permanent deformation can be measured. • Under repetitive stresses, cracks in a metal can develop and grow and cause failure even thought the elastic limit has not been reached.

  15. Properties of Materials • Strength (forces): • Flexural

  16. Failure of Materials • Buckling occurs when a given material is compressed until it gives way and collapses

  17. Properties of Materials Physical properties: • Density and freezing, melting, and boiling points • Density is a measure of how tightly atoms are packed together • Freezing, melting, and boiling points exist on a temperature continuum

  18. Properties of Materials Electrical properties: • Conductivity and resistivity Magnetic properties: • Diamagnetic, paramagnetic, or ferromagnetic Thermal properties: • Ability to conduct heat and expand when heated Optical properties: • Ability to reflect, absorb, refract, or transmit light

  20. Processing Materials Key ideas: • The term “processing” means transforming basic (raw) materials into industrial materials, and then into finished products. • Processing methods are categorized according to: • Mass change • Phase change • Structure change. • deformation of material • Consolidation of material **Example: Processing trees into timber**

  21. Processing Materials (cont’d.) Mass change: • Cladding • Electroplating • Drilling • Sawing • Grinding • Turning Phase change: • Casting • Pressing • Injection molding • Blow molding • Vacuum forming • Rotation molding

  22. Processing Materials (cont’d.) Structure-change: • Hardening • Annealing • Tempering

  23. Processing Materials (cont’d.) Deformation: • Forging • Rolling • Machine pressing • Extrusion • Drawing Consolidation: • Fastening • Joining • Sintering • Composite materials • Coating

  24. Processing Materials (cont’d.) • Example Processes: • Injection Molding:(Very Accurate) common industrial process used to manufacture parts. • Extrusion:process whereby a continuous stream of a product is made by squeezing softened material (just below its melting point) through a small opening called a die.

  25. Processing Materials (cont’d.) • Example Processes: • Sintering:is a process where powdered materials are combined with a binding material and pressed into shapes in a mold under heat and high pressure.

  26. Factors in Selecting Materials Key ideas: • Materials are chosen based on their properties, as well as other factors. • Choice of material often reflects trading off competing benefits. • True costs of materials extend beyond the cost of the raw material itself.

  27. Factors in Selecting Materials (cont’d.) Properties determine suitability for applications: • Cost • Safety • Availability • Disposability • Environmental impact

  28. Factors in Selecting Materials (cont’d.) True cost of a material includes: • Cost of the raw material • Amount of energy and water needed • Amount of pollution generated • Human time and effort wasted

  29. Factors in Selecting Materials (cont’d.) • Availability of materials is a primary. • Safety is also important. • Disposability and environmental impact drive decisions about materials. • Some materials can biodegrade. • Engineers also consider the energy it takes to process materials.
