MODULE 1 Flashcards
what are the four components of material science?
processing,structure,properties and performance
Refers to the group of materials that are used in the construction of manmade structures and components.
Engineering materials
What are the major classifications of engineering materials?
inclue metals,polymers, ceramics and composites.
Materials are classified into two?
Metallic and Non-metallic
involves investigating the relationships that exist between the structures and
properties of materials (i.e., why materials have their properties)
materials
science
involves, on the basis of these structure–property correlations, designing or
engineering the structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties.
materials
engineering
role of a material scientist
s to develop or synthesize
new materials
role of a material engineer
is called upon to create new products or
systems using existing materials and/or to develop techniques for processing materials
material usually relates to the arrangement of its internal components.
structure
involves electrons within the individual atoms, their energies
and interactions with the nuclei
Subatomic structure
involves electrons within the individual atoms, their energies
and interactions with the nuclei
Subatomic structure
relates to the organization of atoms to yield molecules or crystals.
Atomic structure
deals with aggregates of atoms that form particles (nanoparticles)
that have nanoscale dimensions (less that about 100 nm).
Nanostructure
those structural elements that are subject to direct observation using
some type of microscope (structural features having dimensions between 100 nm
and several millimeters).
Microstructure
structural elements that may be viewed with the naked eye (with
scale range between several millimeters and on the order of a meter).
Macrostructure
a material trait in terms of the kind and magnitude of response to a
specific imposed stimulus
property
relate deformation to an applied load or force; examples
include elastic modulus (stiffness), strength, and resistance to fracture.
Mechanical properties
the stimulus is an applied electric fi eld; typical properties include electrical conductivity and dielectric constant.
Electrical properties
are related to changes in temperature or temperature gradients
across a material; examples of thermal behavior include thermal expansion and heat
capacity.
Thermal properties
the responses of a material to the application of a magnetic
fi eld; common magnetic properties include magnetic susceptibility and magnetization
Magnetic properties
—the stimulus is electromagnetic or light radiation; index of refraction and refl ectivity are representative of _____
Optical properties
relate to the chemical reactivity of materials; for
example, corrosion resistance of metals.
Deteriorative characteristics
the structure of a material
depends on how it is???
processed
a material’s performance is a function of??
properties
means a model or set of ideas.)
“paradigm
The four components of the discipline of materials science and
engineering and their interrelationship
processing - structure - properties - performance
Solid materials
metals,
ceramics, and polymers
are composed of one or more metallic elements (e.g., iron, aluminum, copper,
titanium, gold, nickel), and often also nonmetallic elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen,
oxygen) in relatively small amounts.
Metals
