:) Flashcards
ratio of the object’s mass to its volume
density
commonly used in manufacturing and have lower density
alloy
averages 494lbs per cubic ft while stainless is a bit less
steel
half density of steel and aluminum is about ⅓
titanium
importance of knowing the density of metals:
identification
manufacturing
quality control
engineering
recycling
solid to liquid
melting point
importance on why melting point is important
manufacturing
allow development
material selection
safety
amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a material
heat capacity
key component in predicting casting solidification
thermal property
heat transported to a material
thermal conductivity
draw heat from electrical components to cool them
heat sinks
response to a change of temperature
thermal expansion
effects of change in temperature
shape
area or
volume
need to consider when designing tooling for metal casting
thermal exapansion
allows a material to pass through it
electrical conductivity
applications of electrical conductivity
electrical wiring
electronics
heating
material response to an applied external magnetic field
magnetic property
is the strongest type of magnetism which exhibited by an iron
ferromagnetism
example of ferro magnetism
electrical transformer
hard disk drive
amount of light that reflects on the metal
luster
application of luster
jewelry
reflective coatings
lighting
automotive industrial finishes
architecture
how much force an object can withstand without breaking or bending
strength
tells manufacturers how much material must be used to meet a specific strength requirement
strength to weight ratio
strength is often measure in terms of material’s response to stresses or applied forces in 3 configurations:
compresion
tension
shear
volume of material reduces
compression stress
coplanar with crosssection of material
shear stress
force pulling in opposite directions
tension stress
pulling apart until failure occur
tesile testing
crushing until failure occur
compressing test
