Review the Syllabus
Attendance is your job – come to class!
Final is Common Time
Or our regularly scheduled time
Tests and homework/Assignments – (20% of your grade!)
Don’t copy from others; don’t plagiarize – its just the right
thing to do!!
Course Notes:
Lecture notes and review recommended books
Materials Science and
Engineering
It all about the raw materials and how
they are processed
That is why we call it materials
ENGINEERING
Minor differences in Raw materials or
processing parameters can mean
major changes in the performance
of the final material or product

An Introduction

Materials Science and
Engineering
Materials Science
The discipline of investigating the relationships that exist
between the structures and properties of materials.
Materials Engineering
The discipline of designing or engineering the structure of a
material to produce a predetermined set of properties based
on established structure-property correlation.
Four Major Components of Material Science
and Engineering:
Structure of Materials
Properties of Materials
Processing of Materials
Performance of Materials
And Remember: Materials
“Drive” our Society!
Ages of “Man” we survive based on the materials we control
Stone Age – naturally occurring materials
Special rocks, skins, wood
Bronze Age
Casting and forging
Iron Age
High Temperature furnaces
Steel Age
High Strength Alloys
Non-Ferrous and Polymer Age
Aluminum, Titanium and Nickel (superalloys) – aerospace
Silicon – Information
Plastics and Composites – food preservation, housing, aerospace and higher
speeds
Exotic Materials Age?
Nano-Material and bio-Materials – they are coming and then …
Doing Materials!
Engineered Materials are a function of:
Raw Materials Elemental Control
Processing History
Our Role in Engineering Materials then is to
understand the application and specify the
appropriate material to do the job as a function of:
Strength: yield and ultimate
Ductility, flexibility
Weight/density
Working Environment
Cost: Lifecycle expenses, Environmental impact*
* Economic and Environmental Factors often are the
most important when making the final decision!
Example of Materials Engineering
Work – Hip Implant
With age or certain illnesses joints deteriorate.
Particularly those with large loads (such as
hip).

cycles)

Acetabular
Key Problems to Cup and
Liner

ADVANCED MATERIALS
Introduction, cont.
Metals Polymers
Steel, Cast Iron, Plastics, Wood,
Aluminum, Copper, Cotton (rayon,
Titanium, many nylon), “glue”
others Composites
Ceramics Glass Fiber-
Glass, Concrete, reinforced polymers,
Brick, Alumina, Carbon Fiber-
Zirconia, SiN, SiC reinforced polymers,
Metal Matrix
Composites, etc.
Thoughts about these
“fundamental” Materials
Metals:
Strong, ductile
high thermal & electrical conductivity
opaque, reflective.
Polymers/plastics: Covalent bonding sharing of e’s
Soft, ductile, low strength, low density
thermal & electrical insulators
Optically translucent or transparent.
Ceramics: ionic bonding (refractory) – compounds of metallic
& non-metallic elements (oxides, carbides, nitrides, sulfides)
Brittle, glassy, elastic
non-conducting (insulators)
The Materials Selection Process
1. Pick Application Determine required Properties
Properties: mechanical, electrical, thermal,
magnetic, optical, deteriorative.
2. Properties Identify candidate Material(s)
Material: structure, composition.
3. Material Identify required Processing
Processing: changes structure and overall shape
ex: casting, sintering, vapor deposition, doping
forming, joining, annealing.
But: Properties depend on Structure
(strength or hardness)

And: Processing can change structure! (see
above structure vs Cooling Rate)
Another Example: Rolling of Steel
At h1, L1 At h2, L2
low UTS high UTS
low YS high YS
high ductility low ductility
round grains elongated grains
Structure determines Properties but Processing determines
Structure!
Optical Properties of Ceramic are
controlled by “Grain Structure”
Grain Structure is a function of
“Solidification” processing!

Course Goal is to make you aware of the
importance of Material Selection by:
• Using the right material for the job.
one that is most economical and
“Greenest” when life usage is considered
• Understanding the relation between
properties, structure, and processing.
• Recognizing new design opportunities offered
by materials selection.
