2. INTRODUCTION 3. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
- Stone -> Bronze -> Iron -> Advanced Materials
Beginning of the Material Science - People began to make tools
from stone Start of the Stone Age about two million years ago.
Natural materials: stone, wood, clay, skins, etc. 4. Historical
Perspective
- The Stone Age ended about 5000 years ago with introduction of
Bronze in the Far East. Bronze is analloy (a metal made up of more
than one element),copper + < 25% of tin + other elements.
- Bronze: can be hammered or cast into a variety of shapes, can
be made harder by alloying, corrode only slowly after a surface
oxide film forms.
5. Historical Perspective
- The Iron Age began about 3000 years ago and continues today.
Use of iron and steel, a stronger and cheaper material changed
drastically daily life of a common person.
- Age of Advanced materials: throughout the Iron Age many new
types of materials have been introduced (ceramic, semiconductors,
polymers, composites).
6. Historical Perspective
- Understanding of therelationship among structure, properties,
processing, and performance of materials.Intelligent design of new
materials evolved.
- A better understanding of structure-composition properties
relations has lead to a remarkable progress in properties of
materials. Example is the dramatic progress in the strength to
density ratio of materials, that resulted in a wide variety of new
products, from dental materials to tennis racquets.

University Press, 1999) 8. MATERIAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
- Material science is the investigation of the relationship among
processing, structure, properties, and performance of
materials.
- Materials engineering is on the basis of these
structureproperty correlations, designing or engineering the
structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of
properties.
9. 10. Structure
- the structure of a material usually relates to the arrangement
of its internal components
- Subatomic level-Electronic structure of individual atoms that
defines interaction among atoms (interatomic bonding) and with
their nuclei.
11.
- Atomic level- Arrangement of atoms or molecules in materials
relative to one another. (for the same atoms can have different
properties, e.g. two forms of carbon: graphite and diamond).
12.
- Microscopic structure- Arrangement of small grains of material
that can be identified by microscopy. And it is a larger structure,
which contains large groups of atoms that are normally agglomerated
together.
13.
- Macroscopic structure-Structural elements that may be viewed
with the naked eye.
14. Property
- A property is a material trait in terms of the kind and
magnitude of response to a specific imposed stimulus. Generally,
definitions of properties are made independent of material shape
and size.
- Virtually all important properties of solid materials may be
grouped into six different categories: mechanical, electrical,
thermal, magnetic, optical, and deteriorative.
15.
- Mechanical properties relate deformation to an applied load or
force; examples include elastic modulus and strength.
- Electrical properties, such as electrical conductivity and
dielectric constant, the stimulus is an electric field.
- Thermal behaviorof solids can be represented in terms of heat
capacity and thermal conductivity.
16.
- Magnetic properties demonstrate the response of a material to
the application of a magnetic field.
- Optical properties, the stimulus is electromagnetic or light
radiation; index of refraction and reflectivity are representative
optical properties.
- Deteriorative characteristics relate to the chemical reactivity
of materials
17. Processing and Performance.
- With regard to the relationships of these four components, the
structure of a material will depend on how it is processed.
Furthermore, a materials performance will be a function of its
properties.
18. 19. 20. 21. 22. CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
- Metals:valence electrons are detached from atoms, and spread in
an 'electron sea' that "glues" the ions together.
- Strong, ductile, conduct electricity and heat well, are shiny
if polished.
- Materials in this group are composed of one or more metallic
elements (such as iron, aluminum, copper, titanium, gold, and
23.
- nickel), and often also nonmetallic elements (for example,
carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) in relatively small amounts.
- Atoms in metals and their alloys are arranged in a very orderly
manner and in comparison to the ceramics and polymers, are
relatively dense.
24.
- With regard to mechanical characteristics, these materials are
relatively stiff and strong yet are ductile (i.e., capable of large
amounts of deformation without fracture), and are resistant to
fracture which accounts for their widespread use in structural
applications.
25.
- Metals are extremely good conductors of electricity and heat,
and are not transparent to visible light; a polished metal surface
has a lustrous appearance. In addition, some of the metals (viz.,
Fe, Co, and Ni) have desirable magnetic properties.
26. 27. Ceramics
- Ceramics are compounds between metallic and nonmetallic
elements; they are most frequently oxides, nitrides, and
carbides.
- some of the common ceramic materials include aluminum oxide (or
lumina,Al2O3), silicon dioxide (orsilica, SiO2),silicon carbide
(SiC), silicon nitride (Si3N4)
28.
- in addition, what some refer to as thetraditional ceramicsthose
composed of clay minerals (i.e., porcelain), as well ascement, and
glass.
- With regard to mechanical behavior, ceramic materials are
relatively stiff and strongstiffnesses and strengths are comparable
to those of the metals.
29.
- ceramics are typically very hard. On the other hand, they are
extremely brittle (lack ductility), and are highly susceptible to
fracture.
- These materials are typically insulative to the passage of heat
and electricity
- (i.e., have low electrical conductivities, and are more
resistant to high temperatures and
30.
- harsh environments than metals and polymers.
- With regard to optical characteristics, ceramics may be
transparent, translucent, or opaque and some of the oxide ceramics
(e.g., Fe3O4) exhibit magnetic behavior.
31. 32. Polymers
- Polymers include the familiar plastic and rubber materials.
Many of them are organic compounds that are chemically based on
carbon, hydrogen, and other nonmetallic elements (viz.O,N, and
Si).
- they have very large molecular structures, often chain-like in
nature that have a backbone of carbon atoms.
33.
- Some of the common and familiar polymers are polyethylene (PE),
nylon, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene
(PS), and silicone rubber.
- These materials typically have low densities whereas their
mechanical characteristics are generally dissimilar to the metallic
and ceramic materialsthey are not as stiff nor as strong as these
other material types
34.
- many of the polymers are extremely ductile and pliable (i.e.,
plastic), which means they are easily formed into complex
shapes.
- they are relatively inert chemically and unreactive in a large
number of environments.
35.
- One major drawback to the polymers is their tendency to soften
and/or decompose at modest temperatures, which, in some instances,
limits their use.
- they have low electrical conductivities and are
nonmagnetic

metals, ceramics, polymers, andcomposite materials. 38. 39. 40. 41.
42. Composites
- A composite is composed of two (or more) individual materials,
which come from metals, ceramics, and polymers.
- The design goal of a composite is to achieve a combination of
properties that is not displayed by any single material, and also
to incorporate the best characteristics of each of the component
materials.
43.
- One of the most common and familiar composites is fiberglass,
in which small glass fibers are embedded within a polymeric
material (normally an epoxy or polyester).
44. ADVANCED MATERIALS
- Materials that are utilized in high-technology (or high-tech)
applications.
- Examples include electronic equipment (camcorders, CD/DVD
players, etc.), computers, fiber-optic systems, spacecraft,
aircraft, and military rocketry.
45.
- they may be of all material types (e.g., metals, ceramics,
polymers), and are normally expensive.
- Advanced materials include semiconductors, biomaterials, and
what we may term materials of the future
46. Semiconductors
- Semiconductors have electrical properties that are intermediate
between the electrical conductors (metals and metal alloys) and
insulators (ceramics and polymers)
- the electrical characteristics of these materials are extremely
sensitive to the presence of minute concentrations of impurity
atoms, for which the
47.
- concentrations may be controlled over very small spatial
regions.
- the electrical characteristics of these materials are extremely
sensitive to the presence of minute concentrations of impurity
atoms, for which the concentrations may be controlled over very
small spatial regions.
48.
- Semiconductors have made possible the advent of integrated
circuitry that has totally revolutionized the electronics and
computer industries
49. Biomaterials
- Biomaterials are employed in components implanted into the
human body for replacement of diseased or damaged body parts.
- These materials must not produce toxic substances and must be
compatible with body tissues
50. Materials of the Future
- Smart Materials- group of new and state-of-the-art materials
now being developed that will have a significant influence on many
of our technologies. Components include some type of sensor and an
actuator.
-
- Four types of materials are commonly used for actuators: shape
memory alloys, piezoelectric ceramics, magnetostrictive materials,
and electrorheological/magnetorheological fluids.
51.
-
- Shape memory alloys are metals that, after having been
deformed, revert back to their original shapes when temperature is
changed.
-
- Piezoelectric ceramics expand and contract in response to an
applied electric field (or voltage); conversely, they also generate
an electric field when their dimensions are altered
-
- The behavior of magnetostrictive materials is analogous to that
of the piezoelectrics, except
52.
- that they are responsive to magnetic fields.
- - Also, electrorheological and magnetorheological fluids are
liquids that experience dramatic changes in viscosity upon the
application of electric and magnetic fields, respectively.
53.
- Materials/devices employed as sensors include optical fibers,
piezoelectric materials (including some polymers), and
microelectromechanical devices.
- Nanoengineered Materials -the dimensions of these structural
entities are on the order of a nanometer
54. MODERN MATERIALS NEEDS
- development of even more sophisticated and specialized
materials, as well as consideration of the environmental impact of
materials production.
- Materials which reduces the weight of transportation vehicles
(automobiles, aircraft, trains, etc.), as well as increasing engine
operating temperatures, will enhance fuel efficiency.
