INTRODUCTION TO MATERIAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
METAL CLASSIFICATION
POLYMERS
Made of organic compounds that are chemically based of carbon, hydrogen and other non metallic elements.
CERAMICS
Compound between metallic and non metallic elements .Examples oxides ,carbides and nitrides.
METALS
Made of mettalic elements
COMPOSITES
Compound of two or more individual materials
EXAMPLE OF CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
Metals-aluminium and copper
Polymers-pvc and teflon
Ceramics-clay and sand
Composites-wood and carbon fiber
Advanced materials-biomaterials and semiconductor
ADVANCED MATERIALS
Nanomaterials
Materials which structures are measured in nanometer
Biomaterials
Are nimplanted in human body for damage body parts
Semiconductors
Have electrical properties between conductors and insulators
Smart materials
Are able to sense changes in the environment
FUNDAMENTAL OF MATERIAL SCIENCE
Involves investigating the realationship that exists between the structures and properties of materials
COMPONENTS OF THE DISCIPLINE OF MATERIAL SCIENCE
Processing
Properties
Performance
Structure
Applications of metal materials
Airplane -engine components .
Structures -buildings,bridges
Automobiles-body,chassis and springs
Non-metal materials
Non - metal elements such as carbon,nitrogen and oxgen may also be contained in metal materials
Examples- wood,rubber and glass.
Example of thermoplastics
Polyethylene ,polystyrene and nylon
