Manufacturing sector in India
Tensile strength – Measures the force required to pull something such as rope,wire or a
structural beam to the point where it breaks
Ductility – A measure of how much strain a material can take before rupturing.
Malleability – The pproperty of a material that can be worked or hammered or shaped
without breaking
Toughness – The ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without
fracturing
Hardness – The property of being rigid and resistant to pressure; not easily scratched
Machinability – The property of a material that can be shaped by hammering, pressing,
rolling
Physical properties
Specific heat – The heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a
substance by one degree centigrade (J/kg K)
Density – Mass per unit volume expressed in such units as kg/cm 3
Thermal conductivity –Rate at which heat flows through a given material (W/m
K).
Melting point – A temperature at which a solid begins to liquify
Electrical conductivity – A measure of how strongly a material opposes the
flow of electric current (Ω⋅m)
Coefficient of thermal expansion – Degree of expansion divided by the change
in temperature (m/°C)
Metals
Usually alloys, which are composed of two or more elements, at least one of
which is metallic. Two basic groups:
1. Ferrous metals - Based on iron, comprises about 75% of metal tonnage
in the world:
Steel and cast iron
2. Nonferrous metals - All other metallic elements and their alloys:
Aluminum, copper, nickel, silver, tin, etc.
Metal properties:
Good conductors of electricity and heat
Lustrous appearance
Susceptible to corrosion
Strong, but deformable
Ceramics
Compounds containing metallic (or semi-metallic) and nonmetallic elements.
Typical nonmetallic elements are oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon
For processing, ceramics divide into:
1. Crystalline ceramics – includes:
Traditional ceramics, such as clay, and modern ceramics, such as alumina (Al2O3)
2. Amorphous :Glasses – mostly based on silica (SiO2)
Properties:
Thermally and electrically insulating
Resistant to high temperatures and harsh environments
Hard, but brittle
Polymers
Compound formed of repeating structural units called mers, whose atoms share
electrons to form very large molecules
Polymer usually consists of carbon plus one or more elements such as hydrogen and
nitrogen
Polyethylene: (the mer unit is C2H4) Polypropylene: (the mer unit is C3H6)
Ti biomaterial
Biomaterial applications
Orthopedic Applications:
Metallic materials are normally used for load bearing members such as pins and
plates and femoral stems etc.
Ceramics such as alumina and zirconia are used for wear applications in joint
replacements.
Polymers such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene are used as articulating
surfaces against ceramic components in joint replacements.
Dental Applications:
Metallic biomaterials have been used as pins for anchoring tooth implants and as
parts of orthodontic devices.
Ceramics have found uses as tooth implants including alumina and dental porcelains.
Polymers, are also orthodontic devices such as plates and dentures.
