    Ralph Andrew Silverio
    This document introduces materials science and engineering. It discusses how materials science is concerned with investigating the relationships between structures and properties of materials, while materials engineering applies this knowledge to convert materials into useful products. The four major components of the field are outlined as structure of materials, properties of materials, processing of materials, and performance of materials. Major material types are defined as metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and advanced materials. The goal of the course is to help students select the most appropriate, economical, and environmentally friendly materials for applications by understanding how material properties relate to structure and processing.

    Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering

    Materials Science and Engineering

    Materials Science

    Materials Engineering

    The discipline of investigating the relationships that exist between the structures and properties of materials.
    Concerned with the use of fundamental and applied knowledge of materials so that the materials can be converted into products necessary or desired by society

    Four Major Components of Material Science and Engineering:


    Structure of Materials Properties of Materials Processing of Materials Performance of Materials

    Introduction

    List the Major Types of MATERIALS That You Know:

    METALS inorganic substance which are composed of one or more metallic elements and may also contain some non metallic elements Two classes of Metals - ferrous and non-ferrous

    Introduction

    List the Major Types of MATERIALS That You Know:

    CERAMICS are inorganic materials which consist of metallic and non metallic elements chemically bonded together POLYMERS consist of organic long molecular chains or networks.

    Introduction

    List the Major Types of MATERIALS That You Know:

    COMPOSITES mixture of two or more materials ADVANCED MATERIALS are extremely important for advanced engineering technology.

    Introduction, cont.

    Metals

    Polymers

    Steel, Cast Iron, Aluminum, Copper, Titanium, many others Glass, Concrete, Brick, Alumina

    Plastics, Wood, Cotton (rayon, nylon), glue Glass Fiberreinforced polymers, Carbon Fiberreinforced polymers, Metal Matrix Composites, etc.

    Ceramics

    Composites

    Electronic / Biomaterials

    Pure silicon /artificial Heart

    Thoughts about these fundamental Materials

    Metals:

    Strong, ductile high thermal & electrical conductivity opaque, reflective.

    Polymers/plastics: Covalent bonding sharing of es


    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)

    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.
