PREFACE
The original goal of this text is to present materials information that a designer
needs to know in order to select materials for the structure in engineering design
based on physical principles of materials science. The designer must know not only
something about all types of structural materials (plastics, metals and so on), their
properties, their limitations, but how to specify them properly in engineering drawing
or in design specifications.
Designer’s understanding of the relationship between structure and properties
provides the basis for both his/her selection of existing materials and his (her)
development of new materials. A modern designer must be able to engineer the
electronic and atomic structure of materials in order to produce miniaturized
electronic and optical devices. By manipulating molecular structure, we have
produced a vast spectrum of polymers capable of operating under extreme conditions
including elevated temperatures of wear. Controlling microstructure has led to many
new metal alloys and ceramics, including light weight aerospace alloys and ceramic
superconductors. And we have played wizard, juggling the structure of composites to
produce unique properties. The methods used to control the microstructure and
macrostructure of materials are examined to find out the fact that by controlling the
structure we in turn can control the mechanical properties. Before looking at the
processes used to control the strengthening mechanisms, the mechanical testing of
materials needs to be considered.
The results of mechanical tests are the mechanical properties of materials.
They are used to produce effective material selection, which requires that a designer
should be familiar with common materials systems and should be able to choose a
repertoire of specific materials from the system as well as must know how to use a
material effectively.
The modern method of material selection is discussed, using physically based
relationships between chemical, physical and mechanical properties.
The text can serve, first, those students the course of engineering materials had
been formally introduced to and who will not be involved in this field in future. Such
students need a basic understanding of materials, the types of materials behavior so
that they could appropriately select materials and, second, this text can introduce the
science of materials, the types of materials available, and the application of materials
by materials-oriented students in engineering. These students will go on studying the
details of materials structure and properties in more advanced courses.
We believe that to read this text, a student must be sure to have sufficient
exposure to chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The experience gained will be
useful to provide students with fundamental knowledge in materials manufacturing,
processing or selection.
Chapter 1 Origin of Materials Internal Structure
All engineers are involved with materials on a daily basis. We manufacture
and process materials, design and construct components or structures using materials,
select materials, analyze failures of materials, or simply hope the materials we are
using perform adequately.
We are interested in improving the performance of the product we are design-
ing or manufacturing. Electrical engineers want integrated circuits to perform prop-
erly, switches in computers to reach instantly , and insulators to withstand high volt-
ages even under the most adverse conditions. Civil engineers wish to construct reli-
able structures that are resistant to corrosion. Petroleum and chemical engineers re-
quire drill bits or piping that survive in abrasive or corrosive conditions. Automotive
engineers desire light weight yet strong and durable materials. Aerospace engineers
demand light weight materials that perform well both at high temperatures and in the
cold vacuum of outer space. Metallurgical, ceramic, and polymer engineers wish to
produce and shape materials that are more economical and possess improved proper-
ties.
Each of developed products requires materials with specified characteristic
such that (1) the material can be processed into the final products satisfactorily and
economically and (2) the products will behave appropriately in service.
Since the engineer must specify the materials for TV sets, computers, suspen-
sion bridges, oil refineries, rocket motors, nuclear reactors, or supersonic transports
he must have sufficient knowledge to select the optimum material for each applicant
taking into account material availability, processing requirements, service demands,
and the ever-important cost factor, in addition to the design specification which
match the part to the system as a whole. Although experience provides the engineer
with a starting point for selection of materials, and the property data found in hand-
books will aid him, the skill of the engineer will be limited unless he understands the
factors, which contribute to the properties of materials. Without this knowledge, a
material is simply a "black box" and the engineer will have no conception of the ma-
terial's limitations, or of possible modifications in materials selection and design.
The intent of this Chapter is to permit the student to become aware of the types
of materials available, to understand their general behavior and capabilities, and to
recognize the effects of the environment and service conditions on the materials per-
formance.
