Objectives:

This part aims:

1. to enable students to establish a broad knowledge

base on the atomic structure and properties of

materials with an emphasis on using this knowledge

to solve engineering problems.

2. to provide a basic understanding on relationship

between material properties and manufacturingprocesses so that students are able to select those

that are appropriate taking into consideration green

design and environmental issues.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Upon satisfactory completion of the subject, students

are expected to achieve the following learning

outcomes:

1. To be able to apply the knowledge of materials

science to analyse and solve basic engineeringproblems related to stress, strain and fracture of

materials.

2. To be able to select appropriate materials and

manufacturing processes for different products

taking into consideration of issues in cost, quality

and environmental concerns.

Introduction Introduction 

 

Questions:

Why should I study materials science &engineering?

What materials are available to me?

Which material is better? - competition among materials

Which material do I now select for a

 particular application?

What is the future trends in materials usage?

What are Materials?

• Materials may be defined as substance of

which something is composed or made.

• We obtain materials from earth crust andatmosphere.

•  Examples :-• Silicon and Iron constitute 27.72 and

5.00 percentage of weight of earths

crust respectively.

• Nitrogen and Oxygen constitute 78.08

and 20.95 percentage of dry air by

volume respectively.

• Production and processing of materials constitute

a large part of our economy.• Engineers choose materials to suite design.

• New materials might be needed for some new

applications.

 – Example :

 – High temperature resistant materials. – Space station and Mars Rovers should sustain

conditions in space.

* High speed, low temperature, strong but light.

• Modification of properties might be needed forsome applications.

 – Example :- Heat treatment to modify Properties.

 Materials Science and Engineering

• Materials science involves investigation of relationship betweenstructures and properties of materials.

• Materials engineering involves designing and engineering the

structure of materials to produce desired properties.

What is structure?

- Structure is the arrangement of atoms.

- Subatomic structure is arrangement of electrons within eachindividual atom, and their interactions with nuclei.

What is property?

- Property is a trait in terms of the kind and magnitude ofresponse to a specific imposed stimulus.

- Six groups of properties: mechanical, electrical, thermal,

magnetic, optical, and deteriorative.

Why Study Materials Science and Engineering

An engineer has to select materials at various stages of his/her 

engineering.

How does one select “proper” materials

- select materials that fit the service conditions

- select materials that resist deterioration

- select materials that are economical

How can one know the selection criteria

- knowledgeable in materials science and engineering(that is processing-structure-property-performance

relationship)

Future Trends

• Ceramic Materials

New family of engineering ceramics are produced

last decade New materials and applications are constantly

found.

Now used in auto and biomedical applications. Processing of ceramics is expensive.

Easily damaged as they are highly brittle.

Better processing techniques and high-impactceramics are to be found.

Future Trends

• Composite Materials

Fiber reinforced plastics are primary

products. On an average 3% annual growth from

1981 to 1987.

Annual growth rate of 5% is predictedfor new composites such as Fiberglass-

Epoxy and Graphite-Epoxy

combinations.

Commercial aircrafts are expected to

use more and more composite materials.

Future Trends

• Electronic Materials

Use of electronic materials such as silicon

increased rapidly from 1970. Electronic materials are expected to play

vital role in “Factories of Future”.

Use of computers and robots will increaseresulting in extensive growth in use of

electronic materials.

Aluminum for interconnections inintegrated circuits might be replaced by

copper resulting in better conductivity.

Future Trends

• Smart Materials : Change their properties by

sensing external stimulus.

 

Shape memory alloys: Strained material revertsback to its original shape above a critical

temperature.

Used in heart valves and to expand arteries.

 

Piezoelectric materials: Produce electric field when

exposed to force and vice versa.

Used in actuators and vibration reducers.

MEMS and Nanomaterials

• MEMS: Microelectromechanical systems.

Miniature devices

Micro-pumps, sensors

• Nanomaterials: Characteristic length < 100 nm

Examples: ceramics powder and grain size < 100nm

Nanomaterials are harder and stronger than bulk

materials. Have biocompatible characteristics ( as in

Zirconia)

Transistors and diodes are developed on ananowire.
