High thermal and electrical conductivites
Opaque and reflective
Polymers and plastics
Compounds of nonmetallic elements
Soft ductile low strength and low densities
Low thermal and electrical conductivities
Opaque translucent or transparent
Ceramics
Compounds of metallic and nonmetallic elements
Oxides carbides nitrides and csulfides
Low thermal and electrical conductivities
Opaque translucent or transparent
Procedure of material selection
Determine desirable prop
List properties of different materials to id candidate materials
Determine best candidate material
Mechanical properties
Different treatment methods get different levels of hardness
Electrical properties
Factors that affect electrical resistivoty:
Inc temp-> inc rest
Inc impurity -> inc res
Deformation increases resistivity
Thermal conductivity
Measure of materials ability to conduct heat
Thermal properties
Inc impurity-> decreases conductivity
High porosity -> poor heat conductors
Magnetic properties
Magnetic storage
Magnetic permeability
Optical properties
Light transmitance
Single crystal-> transparent
Poly crystal-> translucent
Porosity poly-> opaque
Deteriorative properties
Form stress corrosion properties
Can b improved by minimizing imperfections and treatments
Lecture 1 summary
Appropriate materials and processing decisions are engineers to understand materials in the properties
Materials properties depend on their structures structures are determined by how materials are processed
In terms of chemistry the three classifications of materials are metals ceramics and polymers
Most properties of materials font to the following six categories:
Mechanical electrical thermal magnetic optical and deteriorative
Atomic number
Number of protons in a nucleus of atom
Atomic weight
6.022e23 atoms/mol
Electron structure
Wavelike and particle like characteristics
Electron wave like characteristics
Electron position in terms of probability density
Shape size and orientation of probability density determined by quantum numbers
Quantum numbers
N-> principal shell, 1,2,3,4
L -> azimuthal -> S,p,d,f
mi -> magnetic num of orbitals
ms -> spin +- .5
Valence electrons
Electrons residing in the other orbital of an Adam they are available for bonding
Cation
Metal Adam that donates an electron left
Anion
Nonmetal atom that accepts electron right
Coulombic attraction
The force of attraction between positive and negative charges
Ionic bonding
Common in ceramics
Full transfer of electrons
Covalent bonding
SP orbital sharing
Find hybridization SP three energy level
