Introduction to Engineering Materials & Applications
Materials science is primarily concerned with the search for basic knowledge about the internal structure, properties, and processing of materials. Materials' engineering is mainly concerned with the use of fundamentals and applied knowledge of materials so that the materials can be converted into products necessary or desired by the society.
Materials in Industry: Industrial applications of materials science include materials design, cost, processing techniques (casting, rolling, welding, ion implantation, crystal growth, thin-film deposition, sintering, etc.) and analytical techniques (electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, calorimetry, backscattering, neutron diffraction, etc.).

Classification of Materials-Based on Structure
1. Crystalline material is a material comprised of one or many crystals. In each crystal, atoms or ions show a long-range periodic arrangement.
2. Single crystal is a crystalline material that is made of only one crystal (there are no grain boundaries).
3. Polycrystalline material is a material comprised of many crystals (as opposed to a single-crystal material that has only one crystal). Grains are the crystals in a polycrystalline material. Grain boundaries are regions between grains of a polycrystalline material.

ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE & BONDING
Atomic Bonding
Bonding: There are two types of bonds: primary and secondary. Primary bonds are the strongest bonds which hold atoms together. The three types of primary bonds are: Metallic bond, Covalent bond, and Ionic bond
Metallic Bonds
Elements in groups I and II of the periodic table, and some in group III form metallic crystals. In a metal, the outer electrons are shared among all the atoms in the solid. Each atom gives up its outer electrons and becomes slightly positively charged. The negatively charged electrons hold the metal atoms together. Since the electrons are free to move, they lead to good thermal and electrical conductivity. The metallic bonding does not have the strongly directional character of covalent bonds.

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE
Crystal Structure
Crystal Structure
Lattice- A collection of points that divide space into smaller equally sized segments.
Unit cell - A subdivision of the lattice that still retains the overall characteristics of the entire lattice.
Atomic radius - The apparent radius of an atom, typically calculated from the dimensions of the unit cell, using close-packed directions (depends upon coordination number).
Packing factor - The fraction of space in a unit cell occupied by atoms.
Types of Crystal Structure
Body centered cubic (BCC) Face centered cubic (FCC) Hexagonal close packed (HCP)
Crystal Structure
A number of metals are shown below with their room temperature crystal structure indicated. There are substances without crystalline structure at room temperature; for example, glass and silicone. All metals and alloys
are crystalline solids, and most metals assume one of three different lattice, or crystalline, structures as they form: body-centered cubic (BCC),
face-centered cubic (FCC), or hexagonal close-packed (HCP).

Number of Lattice Points in Cubic Crystal Systems
In the SC unit cell: point / unit cell = (8 corners)1/8 = 1
In BCC unit cells: point / unit cell = (8 corners)1/8 + (1 center)(1) = 2
In FCC unit cells: point / unit cell = (8 corners)1/8 + (6 faces)(1/2) = 4

Unit Cells Types
PrimitiveFace-Centered
Body-Centered End-Centered
A unit cell is the smallest component of the crystal that reproduces the whole crystal when stacked together with purely translational repetition.
• Primitive (P) unit cells contain only a single lattice point.• Internal (I) unit cell contains an atom in the body center.• Face (F) unit cell contains atoms in the all faces of the planes composing the cell.• Centered (C) unit cell contains atoms centered on the sides of the unit cell.
Crystal Classes (cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, monclinic, triclinic, trigonal) with 4 unit cell types (P, I, F, C) symmetry allows for only 14 types of 3-D lattice.
Crystal Structure
Counting Number of Atoms Per Unit Cell
Counting Atoms in 3D CellsAtoms in different positions are shared by differing numbers of unit cells.
• Vertex atom shared by 8 cells => 1/8 atom per cell.
• Edge atom shared by 4 cells => 1/4 atom per cell.
• Face atom shared by 2 cells => 1/2 atom per cell.
• Body unique to 1 cell => 1 atom per cell.
Simple Cubic
8 atoms but shared by 8 unit cells. So, 8 atoms/8 cells = 1 atom/unit cell

Imperfections in the Atomic and Ionic Arrangements
Objectives
Introduce the three basic types of imperfections: point defects, line defects (or dislocations), and surface defects.
Explore the nature and effects of different types of defects.
Outline
Point Defects Dislocations Observing Dislocations Significance of Dislocations Influence of Crystal Structure Surface Defects Importance of Defects
Point defects - Imperfections, such as vacancies, that are located typically at one (in some cases a few) sites in the crystal.
Extended defects - Defects that involve several atoms/ions and thus occur over a finite volume of the crystalline material (e.g., dislocations, stacking faults, etc.).
Vacancy - An atom or an ion missing from its regular crystallographic site.
Interstitial defect - A point defect produced when an atom is placed into the crystal at a site that is normally not a lattice point.
Substitutional defect - A point defect produced when an atom is removed from a regular lattice point and replaced with a different atom, usually of a different size.

Point defects: (a) vacancy, (b) interstitial atom, (c) small substitutional atom, (d) large substitutional atom, (e) Frenkel defect, (f) Schottky defect. All of these defects disrupt the perfect arrangement of the surrounding atoms.
Imperfections in the Atomic and Ionic Arrangements
Determine the number of vacancies needed for a BCC iron crystal to have a density of 7.87 g/cm3. The lattice parameter of the iron is 2.866 10-8 cm.
SOLUTION
The expected theoretical density of iron can be calculated from the lattice parameter and the atomic mass.
Vacancy Concentrations in Iron
Imperfections in the Atomic and Ionic Arrangements
SOLUTION (Continued)
Let’s calculate the number of iron atoms and vacancies that would be present in each unit cell for the required density of 7.87 g/cm3:
Or, there should be 2.00 – 1.9971 = 0.0029 vacancies per unit cell. The number of vacancies per cm3 is:
Imperfections in the Atomic and Ionic Arrangements
1. Dislocation - A line imperfection in a crystalline material.
2. Screw dislocation - A dislocation produced by skewing a crystal so that one atomic plane produces a spiral ramp about the dislocation.
3. Edge dislocation - A dislocation introduced into the crystal by adding an ‘‘extra half plane’’ of atoms.
4. Mixed dislocation - A dislocation that contains partly edge components and partly screw components.
5. Slip - Deformation of a metallic material by the movement of dislocations through the crystal.
Imperfections in the Atomic and Ionic Arrangements
The perfect crystal in (a) is cut and an extra plane of atoms is inserted (b). The bottom edge of the extra plane is an edge dislocation (c). A Burgers vector b is required to close a loop of equal atom spacings around the edge dislocation. (Adapted from J.D. Verhoeven, Fundamentals of Physical Metallurgy, Wiley, 1975.)
Imperfections in the Atomic and Ionic Arrangements
When a shear stress is applied to the dislocation in (a), the atoms are displaced, causing the dislocation to move one Burgers vector in the slip direction (b). Continued movement of the dislocation eventually creates a step (c), and the crystal is deformed. (Adapted from A.G. Guy, Essentials of Materials Science, McGraw-Hill, 1976.) (b) Motion of caterpillar is analogous to the motion of a dislocation.
Imperfections in the Atomic and Ionic Arrangements
Surface defects - Imperfections, such as grain boundaries, that form a two-dimensional plane within the crystal.
Hall-Petch equation - The relationship between yield strength and grain size in a metallic material—that is,
ASTM grain size number (n) - A measure of the size of the grains in a crystalline material obtained by counting the number of grains per square inch a magnification 100.
Small angle grain boundary - An array of dislocations causing a small misorientation of the crystal across the surface of the imperfection.

Engineering Alloys
Metals and alloys have many useful engineering properties and so have wide spread application in engineering designs. Iron and its alloys (principally steel) account for about 90 percent of the world's production of metals mainly because of their combination of good strength, toughness, and ductility at a relatively low cost.
Alloys based on iron are called ferrous alloys, and those based on the other metals are called nonferrous alloys. In this section we shall discuss some aspects of the processing, structure, and properties of some of the important ferrous and nonferrous alloys.
The study of metallic alloys; ferrous (steels and cast irons) or non-ferrous, requires two basic topics; phase diagram and heat treatment.
Components: elements or compounds that are mixed initially (e.g., Al and Cu)

Cast Iron
Classification of Cast IronCast iron has higher carbon and silicon contents than steel. The carbon content of cast iron is 2.1 percent or more. Carbon exists as free graphite in all types of cast iron except in white cast iron (as intermetallic compound Fe3C called cementite).
There are four basic types of cast iron:
– 1- White cast iron ( hard, brittle, and not weldable)– 2- Grey cast iron (relatively soft, easily machined and welded. Main
applications) main applications (engine cylinder blocks, pipe, and machine tool structures)
– 3- Malleable cast iron (ductile, weldable, machinable and offers good strength and shock resistance)
– 4- Nodular or Ductile cast iron or spheroidal (ductile, malleable and weldable)
Cast Iron
White cast iron is very hard, brittle and hard machinable. Exhibits a white, crystalline fracture surface because fracture occurs along the iron carbide plates; it is the result of metastable solidification (Fe3C eutectic).• Fast cooling rate, low Si and C, carbon exist as Fe3C

Titanium’s excellent corrosion resistance provides applications in chemical processing equipment, marine components, and biomedical implants such as hip prostheses.
Titanium is an important aerospace material, finding applications as airframe and jet engine components.
Titanium alloys are considered biocompatible (i.e., they are not rejected by the body). By developing porous coatings of bone-like ceramic compositions known as hydroxyapatite, it may be possible to make titanium implants bioactive (i.e., the natural bone can grow into the hydroxyapatite coating).

Tensile stress-strain curves for different materials. Note that these are qualitative
Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Alloying a metal with other metals or nonmetals and heat treatment can greatly affect the tensile strength and ductility of metals. For metals with a thick cross section such as plate, a 0.50-in-diameter round specimen is commonly used. For metal with thinner cross sections such as sheet, a flat specimen is used. A 2-in gage length within the specimen is the most commonly used gage length for tensile tests.
During the tensile test, after necking of the sample occurs, the engineering stress decreases as the strain increases, leading to a maximum engineering stress in the engineering stress-strain curve. Thus, once necking begins during the tensile test, the true stress is higher than the engineering stress.
• Engineering stress σ = P/A0 and • Engineering strain ε =(l-l0)/l0 • True stress σT = F/Ai = σ (1+ ε) and
• True strain εT =ln (li/l0) = ln (1+ ε)

Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Ductility of metals is most commonly expressed as percent elongation and percent reduction in area. The percent elongation and percent reduction in area at fracture is of engineering importance not only as a measure of ductility but also as an index of the quality of the metal.
Percent elongation is the amount of elongation that a tensile specimen under goes during testing provides a value for the ductility of a metal.
Percent reduction in area is usually obtained from a tensile test using a specimen 0.50 in (12.7 mm) in diameter.

Fatigue of Materials
• S-N-Curve, the most commonly used stress ratio is R = (S min/S max). If the stresses are fully reversed, then R = -1. If the stresses are partially reversed, R = a negative number less than 1. If the stress is cycled between a maximum stress and no load, R = zero. If the stress is cycled between two tensile stresses, R = a positive number less than 1.
• The basic method of presenting engineering fatigue data is by means of the S-N curve, a plot of stress S against the number of cycles to failure N. The value of stress that is plotted can be σa, σmax, or σmin. The stress values are usually nominal stresses, i.e., there is no adjustment for stress concentration.

Examples of stress cycles. (a) Equal stress in tension and compression, (b) greater tensile stress than compressive stress, and (c) all of the stress is tensile
Mechanical Behavior of Materials
The highest stress at which a run out (non-failure) is obtained is taken as
the fatigue limit. For materials without a fatigue limit the test is usually terminated for practical
considerations at a low stress where the life is about 108 or 5x108 cycles.
The S-N curve is usually determined with about 8 to 12 specimens.
Fatigue limit (endurance limit) occurs for some materials (some Fe and Ti allows). In this case, the S-N
curve becomes horizontal at large N. The fatigue limit is maximum stress amplitude below which the material never fails, no matter how large the
number of cycle is.

Applications of Ceramics
Traditional Ceramics Primary products are fired clay (pottery, tableware, brick,
and tile), cement, and natural abrasives such as alumina Glass is also a silicate ceramic material and is sometimes
included among traditional ceramics
Raw Materials for Traditional Ceramics Mineral silicates, such as clays of various compositions, and
silica, such as quartz, are among the most abundant substances in nature and constitute the principal raw materials for traditional ceramics
Another important raw material for traditional ceramics is alumina
CERAMICS MATERIALS
Clay and Silica as a Ceramic Raw Material Clays consist of fine particles of hydrous aluminum silicate,
Most common clays are based on the mineral kaolinite, (Al2Si2O5(OH)4)
When mixed with water, clay becomes a plastic substance that is formable and moldable. When heated to a sufficiently elevated temperature (firing ), clay fuses into a dense, strong material. Thus, clay can be shaped while wet and soft, and then fired to obtain the final hard product
Silica is available naturally in various forms, most important is quartz, the main source of quartz is sandstone, Low in cost; also hard and chemically stable
Principal component in glass, and an important ingredient in other ceramic products including whiteware, refractories, and abrasives
CERAMICS MATERIALS
Alumina as a Ceramic Raw Material Bauxite - most alumina is processed from this mineral, which is
an impure mixture of hydrous aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide plus similar compounds of iron or manganese. Bauxite is also the principal source of metallic aluminum
Corundum - a more pure but less common form of Al2O3, which contains alumina in massive amounts
Alumina ceramic is used as an abrasive in grinding wheels and as a refractory brick in furnaces
Traditional Ceramic Products Pottery and Tableware Brick and tile Refractories Abrasives
CERAMICS MATERIALS
New Ceramics
Ceramic materials developed synthetically over the last several decades
The term also refers to improvements in processing techniques that provide greater control over structures and properties of ceramic materials
In general, new ceramics are based on compounds other than variations of aluminum silicate, which form most of the traditional ceramic materials
New ceramics are usually simpler chemically than traditional ceramics; for example, oxides, carbides, nitrides, and borides
Thin films of many complex and multi-component ceramics are produced using different techniques such as sputtering, sol-gel, and chemical-vapor deposition (CVD).
Fibers are produced from ceramic materials for several uses: as a reinforcement in composite materials, for weaving into fabrics, or for use in fiber-optic systems.

When silica crystallizes on cooling, an abrupt change in the density is observed. For glassy silica, however, the change in slope at the glass temperature indicates the formation of a glass from the undercooled liquid. Glass does not have a fixed Tm or Tg. Crystalline materials have a fixed Tm and they do not have a Tg.

POLYMERIC MATERIALS
Mechanisms of PolymerizationPolymerization is the formation of chemical linkages between relatively small molecules or monomers to form very large molecules or polymers. These linkages are formed by either one or two of the following two types: addition or condensation.
Addition polymerization process is characterized by the simple combination of molecules without the generation of any by-products as a result of the combination. The original molecules do not decompose to form reaction debris. When units of single monomers are hooked together, the resulting product is a homopolymer, such as polyethylene, that is made from the ethylene monomer. When two or more polymers are used in the process, the product is a co-polymer.
Condensation polymerization involves the chemical reaction of two or more chemicals to form a new molecule. The chemical union of two molecules can be only achieved by the formation of a by-product molecule with atoms from the two molecules to create the link for the polymerization to continue. This chemical reaction produces a condensate or non-polymerizable byproduct, usually water. A catalyst is often required to start and maintain the reaction. It can also be used to control the reaction rate.
Structure–Property Relationships in Thermoplastics
Branched polymer - Any polymer consisting of chains that consist of a main chain and secondary chains that branch off from the main chain.
Crystallinity is important in polymers since it affects mechanical and optical properties.
Tacticity - Describes the location in the polymer chain of atoms or atom groups in nonsymmetrical monomers.
Liquid-crystalline polymers - Exceptionally stiff polymer chains that act as rigid rods, even above their melting point.

Forming Processes for Thermoplastics:• Extrusion• Blow Molding• Injection Molding• Thermoforming
Forming Processes for Thermosetting polymers:• Calendaring• Spinning• Compression Molding• Transfer Molding
POLYMERIC MATERIALS
POLYMERIC MATERIALSExtrusion: The polymer is heated to the liquid state and forced through a die under pressure resulting in an endless product of constant cross section. Examples include: tubing, pipes, window frames, sheet, and insulated wire.
Film Blowing: Using the same method as extrusion the material coming out of the die is blown into a film. An example is plastic wrap.
Injection molding: Similar to extrusion, the polymer is heated to the liquid state, but it is prepared in metered amounts, and the melt is forced into a mold to create the part. It is not a continuous process. Many toys are made by injection molding.
Blow molding: The melted polymer is put into a mold, and then compressed air is used to spread the polymer into the mold. It is used to make many containers such as plastic soda containers and milk jugs.
Compression molding: Solid polymer is placed in a mold; the mold is heated and puts pressure on the polymer to form the part.
Reaction injection molding: Liquid monomers are placed in the mold avoiding the need to use temperature to melt the polymer or pressure to inject it. The monomers polymerize in the mold forming the part.
