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

Material Science and Engineering
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
• 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 materials:
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
INTRODUCTIONThe four components of the discipline of materials science and engineering and their linear interrelationship.

MATERIAL SELECTION3 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)
METALSTwo categories:
1. Pure metalselements which come from a particular are of the periodic table. Ex: iron, copper and aluminum
2. Metal alloyscontain 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 pointHigh chemical stabilitiesHigh hardnessHigh temperature strengthBrittle (lack ductility)Poor electrical & thermal conductorResistance 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 componentmaterial
• Examples includepolymer/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
• Reinforcing fibers can be made of metals, ceramics, glasses, or polymers thathave 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.
Fiber-reinforced composites
• 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.
Laminar
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

composites and semiconductors – may be used as biomaterials.
• For example, some of the biomaterials that are utilized in artificial hip replacements.

MODERN MATERIALS’ NEEDS• Engine efficiency increases at high temperatures: requires high
temperature structural materials.• Use of nuclear energy requires solving problem with residues, or
advances in nuclear waste processing.• Hypersonic flight requires materials that are light, strong and resist
