Materials Science
• Engineers must choose the correct materials
for each purpose and use.
• The properties, strengths and weaknesses,
must be understood.

4
Types of Materials
• Metals
• Non-metals
• Ceramics

5
Periodic Table
6
• Metals – release their electrons
• Non-metals – accept or share electrons,
usually form molecules or anions
7
• Ceramics – consists of compounds of
metallic and non-metallic elements
• Polymers - large molecule
(macromolecule) composed of repeating
structural units typically connected by
covalent chemical bonds.

Bonding in Solids
• Interatomic forces
• Coulombic attractive & repulsive

hardening agent, preventing dislocations in
the iron atom crystal lattice from sliding
past one another.” wikipedia

22
Face centered cubic centred
lattice structure of austenite
The figure shows the iron atoms and their relative distances. The (smaller) carbon atoms easily ‘dissolve’ in this lattice. Steel consists
mostly of iron with up to 2 percent carbon by weight. If the carbon content is higher, the material is called cast iron.
23
Grains
• The structure in a solidified metal
• Single crystals that are next to each other
• Grain Boundaries – between grains

26
Defects in Crystal Lattice
• Point Defects
– Vacancies
– Interstitial atom
• Line Defects
– Edge dislocations
27
• “Carbon and other elements act as a
hardening agent, preventing dislocations in
the iron atom crystal lattice from sliding
past one another.” wikipedia
28
Diffusion
• Atoms and Vacancies
• Heat Treatments: Annealing
• Change metal properties
29
Internal Structure of Commercial Steel
• Many grains
• Each grain: a single crystal
• Each crystal: iron & carbon atoms & the atoms of
alloying agents
• Each crystal has defects in its structure

Toughness
• Resistance to fracture of a material when stressed.
• Amount of energy per volume that a material can
absorb before rupturing
• Energy required for mechanical failure.
• Area (i.e., by taking the integral) underneath the
stress-strain curve
44
Elastic Deformation
• Reversible
• Hooke’s Law: springs
• E is a material constant called Young's
modulus [the spring constant]
E
45
Plastic Deformation
• Not reversible
46
Ductility
• Extent to which materials can be deformed
plastically without fracture
47
Ductile Failure
• Extensive plastic deformation takes place
before fracture
48
Brittle Failure
• No apparent plastic deformation takes place
before fracture
49
Fatigue Failure
• Progressive and localized structural damage
that occurs when a material is subjected to
cyclic loading.
50
Creep
• Tendency to slowly move or deform permanently
under the influence of stresses.
• Long term exposure to stress below the yield
strength.
• Creep always increases with temperature.
