Why study materials?

• To produce lighter, more energy efficient, and longer

lasting components for applications ranging from
transport to tissue repair

Chedtha Puncreobutr 2109101 – Engineering Materials 11

Why study materials?

• 1989 Kegworth air crash, caused • 1912, North Atlantic Ocean, sinking
by fan blade loss of Boeing 737 of RMS Titanic after colliding with an
due to excessive metal fatigue iceberg. Investigation suggested that
higher DBTT in Titanic Steel made it
extremely brittle at the -2 C water

Case study : Bike Frame

Should I get an Aluminium OR Steel OR Carbon Fibre frame?

Chedtha Puncreobutr 2109101 – Engineering Materials 13

Case study : Bike Frame

• Steel –
Strong, stiff, heavy, prone to rust, but cheap
• Aluminium –
weaker, lighter, more expensive than steel
• Carbon Fibre –
strong, stiff, very light, but expensive to buy
and to fabricate

What are materials?

Substances out of which all things are made

Classification of Materials

Solid materials have been conventionally grouped

into 3 categories based primarily on chemical makeup
and atomic structure.

Metals

Polymers Ceramics

Composites

Chedtha Puncreobutr 2109101 – Engineering Materials 25

Metals

➢ Metals are usually lustrous, malleable,

and good conductors of electricity
➢ Many metals are relatively strong and
ductile at room temperature, and
many maintain good strength even at
high temperature.
➢ They are divided into 2 categories:
➢ Ferrous: the group which contains mainly
iron (Fe). Iron is the most important metal
in industrialized countries
➢ Non-Ferrous: other metallic materials
containing no iron like copper (Cu) or
aluminium (Al)

Chedtha Puncreobutr 2109101 – Engineering Materials 26

Metals

Metallic Bond
• one, two, or three valence electrons
• valence electrons free to drift through the entire material
forming a “sea of electrons” surrounding net positive
ionic cores

+ + + “sea of electrons”
Properties

• good conductors of
+ + + + electricity and heat
• lustrous appearance
+ + + + ionic • susceptible to corrosion
cores
+ + + + • strong, but deformable

Ceramics

➢ Most ceramics are made up of two or more

elements. For example, alumina (Al2O3), is a
compound made up of aluminium atoms and
oxygen atoms.
➢ The two most common chemical bonds for
ceramic materials are ionic and covalent.
➢ In general, most ceramics are:
➢ hard but brittle
➢ high melting points
➢ resistant to high temperature
➢ thermal insulators
➢ electrical insulators
➢ chemically stable
➢ low density

shared electron
• Electrons are shared between from hydrogen
from carbon
adjacent atoms, each contributing
at least one electron H C H
• Shared electrons belong to both
atoms
• Electronegativity difference is
methane (CH4)
comparable H

Chedtha Puncreobutr 2109101 – Engineering Materials 29

Polymers

➢ Polymer is large molecule, or

macromolecule, composed of many
repeated subunits.
➢ Continuously linked backbone of a
polymer consists mainly of carbon
atoms
➢ Low density
➢ Varied strength and elasticity
➢ Low corrosion resistance
➢ Usually have low softening point

Chedtha Puncreobutr 2109101 – Engineering Materials 30

Composites

• A composite is a combination of two

or more chemically distinct materials
whose physical characteristics are
superior to its constituents acting
independently.
• Because of their high
strength/stiffness to
weight ratio, they are
widely used in :
• Aerospace industry
• Offshore structures
• Boats
• Sporting goods
