ENGINEERING MATERIALS
Properties are the way material responds to environmental and external forces; Mechanical properties: Response to mechanical forces, strength and etc. Electrical and magnetic properties: Response to electrical and magnetic fields, conductivity and etc Thermal properties are related to transmission of heat and heat capacity Optical properties include to absorption, transmission and scattering of lights Chemical stability in contact with environment corrosion resistance
Properties: Crystalline structure, Good thermal and electrical conductors, Strong and ductile at room temperature, Good strength at high temperature, Shiny when polished.
Metals and alloys classification: Ferrous metals and alloys (steels, cast irons) Nonferrous metals and alloys (aluminium, copper, zinc, titanium, nickel)
Definition: Consist of organic long molecular Chains or networks. Properties: Structure: most are crystalline, some are mix. Vary strength, and ductility. Poor conductors of electricity Good insulators Low density, low softening temperature. Application example: Manufacturing of digital video disks (DVDs)
Definition: Inorganic substances consist of metallic elements and nonmetallic elements chemically bonded. There are usually combination of metals or semiconductor with oxygen, nitrogen or carbon (oxides, nitrides or carbide).
Properties: Structure: Crystalline, non-crystalline, mixtures of both. High hardness, high temperature strength. Brittle, light weight, high strength. Good heat and wear resistance, reduced friction. Insulative properties.

Building
Composite is a material which is made up of two or more distinct materials (matrix and reinforcement).
Example: A familiar composite is concrete, which is basically made up of sand and cement.
The reinforcement is usually stiffer than the matrix, thus stiffening the composite material.
Types of composite:
Unique properties : Capable to alter electrical conductivities in their surface chemistries in very localized areas (E.g. Integrated Circuit). The conductivity is as good as metals because no free electron and the electron valence is full.

Selecting the RIGHT material!
26
List the important properties of each of the engineering materials you have learnt
1. What is engineering materials? 2. What are the main classes of engineering materials? 3. Define a composite material. Give 3 examples of a composite material and the applications. 4. Define materials science and materials engineering. 5. List the important properties of each of the engineering materials you have learnt. 6. List some materials usage that you have observed over a period of time in some manufactured products. What reasons can you give for the changes that have occurred?
Use the right material for the job Understand the relation between properties, structure, performance, and processing. Recognize new design opportunities offered by materials selection.
