Introduction

There are, it is said, more than 50,000 materials available to the engineer. In designing a

structure or device, how is the engineer to choose from this vast menu the material which best

suits the purpose? Mistakes can cause disasters. During World War 11, one class of welded

merchant ship suffered heavy losses, not by enemy attack, but by breaking in half at sea: the

fracture toughness of the steel - and, particularly, of the welds was too low. More recently,

three Comet aircraft were lost before it was realised that the design called for a fatigue

strength that - given the design of the window frames - was greater than that possessed by the

material. You yourself will be familiar with poorly- designed appliances made of plastic: their

excessive 'give' is because the designer did not allow for the low modulus of the polymer.

These bulk properties are listed in Table 1.1, along with other common classes of property

that the designer must consider when choosing a material. Many of these properties will be

unfamiliar to you - we will introduce them through examples in this chapter. They form the

basis of this first course on materials. In this first course, we shall also encounter the classes

of materials shown in Table 1.2. More engineering components are made of metals and alloys

than of any other class of solid. But increasingly, polymers are replacing metals because they

offer a combination of properties which are more attractive to the designer. And if you've

been reading the newspaper, you will know that the new ceramics, at present under

development world wide, are an emerging class of engineering material which may permit

more efficient heat engines, sharper knives, and bearings with lower friction. The engineer

can combine the best properties of these materials to make composites (the most familiar is

fibreglass) which offer specially attractive packages of properties. And - finally - one should

not ignore natural maferials like wood and leather which have properties which - even with

the innovations of today's materials scientists - are hard to beat. In this chapter we illustrate,

using a variety of examples, how the designer selects materials so that they provide him or

her with the properties needed. As a first example, consider the selection of materials for a

Plastic-handled screwdriver

A typical screwdriver has a shaft and blade made of a high-carbon steel, a metal. Steel is

chosen because its modulus is high. The modulus measures the resistance of the material to

elastic deflection or bending. If you made the shaft out of a polymer like polyethylene

instead, it would twist far too much.

the selection of a material for this application. But it is not the only one. The shaft must have

a high yield strength. If it does not, it will bend or twist if you turn it hard (bad screwdrivers

do). And the blade must have a high hardness, otherwise it will be damaged by the head of

the screw. Finally, the material of the shaft and blade must not only do all these things, it

must also resist fracture - glass, for instance, has a high modulus, yield strength and hardness,

but it would not be a good choice for this application because it is so brittle. More precisely, it

has a very low fracfure toughness. That of the steel is high, meaning that it gives a bit before

it breaks. The handle of the screwdriver is made of a polymer or plastic, in this instance

polymethylmethacrylate, otherwise known as PMMA, plexiglass or perspex. The handle has

a much larger section than the shaft, so its twisting, and thus its modulus, is less important.

You could not make it satisfactorily out of a soft rubber (another polymer) because its

modulus is much too low, although a thin skin of rubber might be useful because its friction

coefficient is high, making it easy to grip. Traditionally, of course, tool handles were made of

another natural, polymer - wood - and, if you measure importance by the volume consumed

per year, wood is still by far the most important polymer available to the engineer. Wood has

been replaced by PMMA

because PMMA becomes soft when hot and can be moulded quickly and easily to its final

shape. Its ease offabrication for this application is high. It is also chosen for aesthetic reasons:

its appearance, and feel or texture, are right; and its density is low, so that the screwdriver is

not unnecessarily heavy. Finally, PMMA is cheap, and this allows the product to be made at a

reasonable price. Now a second example, taking us from low technology to the advanced

materials design involved in the turbofan aero-engines which power large planes. Air is

propelled

past (and into) the engine by the turbofan, providing aerodynamic thrust. The air is further

compressed by the compressor blades, and is then mixed with fuel and burnt in the

combustion chamber. The expanding gases drive the turbine blades, which provide power to

the turbofan and the compressor blades, and finally pass out of the rear of the engine, adding

to the thrust. The turbofan blades are made from a titanium alloy, a metal. This has a

sufficiently good modulus, yield strength, and fracture toughness. But the metal must also

resist fatigue (due to rapidly fluctuating loads), surface wear (from striking everything from

water droplets to large birds) and corrosion (important when taking off over the sea because

salt spray enters the engine). Finally, density is extremely important for obvious reasons: the

heavier the engine, the less the pay-load the plane can carry. In an effort to reduce weight

even further, composite blades made of carbon-fibre reinforced polymers - CFRP - with

density less than one-half of that of titanium, have been tried. But CW, by itself is simply not

tough enough for turbofan blades - a 'bird strike' demolishes a CFRP blade. The problem can

be overcome by cladding, giving the CFRP a metallic leading edge. Turning to the turbine

blades (those in the hottest part of the engine) even more material requirements must be

satisfied. For economy the fuel must be burnt at as high a temperature as possible. The first

row of engine blades (the 'HP1' blades) runs at metal temperatures of about 950°C, requiring

resistance to creep and to oxidation. Nickel-based alloys of complicated chemistry and

structure are used for this exceedingly stringent application; they are one pinnacle of

advanced materials technology. An example which brings in somewhat different requirements

is the spark plug of an internal combustion engine. The spark electrodes must resist themal

fatigue (from rapidly fluctuating temperatures), wear (caused by spark erosion) and oxidation

and corrosion from hot upper-cylinder gases containing nasty compounds of sulphur, and lead

(from anti-knock additives). Tungsten alloys are used for the electrodes because they have the

desired properties. The insulation around the central electrode is an example of a non-metallic

material - in this case, alumina, a ceramic. This is chosen because of its electrical insulating

properties and because it also has good thermal fatigue resistance and resistance to corrosion

and oxidation (it is an oxide already).

Ceramics and glasses

The use of non-metallic materials has grown most rapidly in the consumer industry. Our next

example, a sailing cruiser, shows just how extensively polymers and man- made composites

and fibres have replaced the 'traditional' materials of steel, wood and cotton. A typical cruiser

has a hull made from GFRP, manufactured as a single moulding; GFRP has good appearance

and, unlike steel or wood, does not rust or become eaten away by Terido worm. The mast is

made from aluminium alloy, which is lighter for a given strength than wood; advanced masts

are now being made by reinforcing the alloy with carbon or boron fibres (man-made

composites). The sails, formerly of the natural material cotton, are now made from the

polymers nylon, Terylene or Kevlar, and, in the running rigging, cotton ropes have been

replaced by polymers also. Finally, polymers like PVC are extensively used for things like

fenders, anoraks, bouyancy bags and boat covers. Three man-made composite materials have

appeared in the items we have considered so far: glass-fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP); the

much more expensive carbon-fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP); and the still more expensive

boron-fibre reinforced alloys (BFRP). The range of composites is a large and growing one

(Fig. 1.1); during the next decade composites will, increasingly, compete with steel and

aluminium in many traditional uses of these metals. So far we have introduced the

mechanical and physical properties of engineering materials, but we have yet to discuss a

consideration which is often of overriding importance: that of price and availability. Table 1.3

shows a rough breakdown of material prices. Materials for large-scale structural use - wood,

cement and concrete, and structural steel - cost between US50 and US500 (US$75 and

US$750) per tonne. There are many materials which have all the other properties required of

a structural material - nickel or titanium, for example - but their use in this application is

eliminated by their price. The value that is added during light-and medium-engineering work

is larger, and this usually means that the economic constraint on the choice of materials is less

severe - a far greater proportion of the cost of the structure is that associated with labour or

with production and fabrication. Stainless steels, most aluminium alloys and most polymers

cost between W500 and UK€5000 (US$750 and US$7500) per

tonne. It is in this sector of the market that the competition between materials is most intense,

and the greatest scope for imaginative design exists. Here polymers and composites compete

directly with metals, and new structural ceramics (silicon carbide and silicon nitride) may

compete with both in certain applications. Next there are the materials developed for high-

performance applications, some of which we have mentioned already: nickel alloys (for

turbine blades), tungsten (for sparking-plug electrodes) and special composite materials such

as CFRP. The price of these materials ranges between uKE5000 and UK€50,000 (US$7500

and US$75,OOO) per tonne. This the rkgime of high materials technology, actively under

reseach, and in which major new advances are continuing to be made. Here, too, there is

intense competition from new materials. Finally, there are the so-called precious metals and

gemstones, widely used in engineering: gold for microcircuits, platinum for catalysts,

sapphire for bearings, diamond for cutting tools. They range in price from UE50,OOO

(US$75,000) to well over UKElOOm (US$150m) per tonne. As an example of how price and

availability affect the choice of material for a particular job, consider how the materials used

for building bridges in Cambridge have changed over the centuries. As our photograph of

Queens’ Bridge (Fig. 1.2) suggests, until 150 years or so ago wood was commonly used for

bridge building. It was cheap, and high-quality timber was still available in large sections

from natural forests. Stone, too, as the picture of Clare Bridge (Fig. 1.3) shows, was widely

used. In the eighteenth century the ready availability of cast-iron, with its relatively low

assembly costs, led to many cast-iron bridges of the type exemplified by Magdalene Bridge

(Fig. 1.4). Metallurgical developments of the later nineteenth century allowed large mild-steel

structures to be built (the Fort St. George Footbridge, Fig. 1.5). Finally, the advent of cheap

reinforced concrete led to graceful and durable structures like that of the Garret Hostel Lane

bridge (Fig. 1.6). This evolution clearly illustrates how availability influences the choice of

materials. Nowadays, wood, steel and reinforced concrete are often used interchangeably in

structures, reflecting the relatively small price differences between them. The choice of which

of the three materials to use is mainly dictated by the kind of structure the architect wishes to

build: chunky and solid (stone), structurally efficient (steel), slender and graceful (pre-

stressed concrete). Engineering design, then, involves many considerations (Fig. 1.7). The

choice of a material must meet certain criteria on bulk and surface properties (strength and

corrosion resistance, for example). But it must also be easy to fabricate; it must appeal to

potential consumers; and it must compete economically with other alternative materials. In

the next chapter we consider the economic aspects of this choice, returning in later chapters

to a discussion of the other properties.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Materials are probably more deep-seated in our culture than most of us realize.

Transportation, housing, clothing, communication, recreation, and food production—virtually

every segment of our everyday lives is influenced to one degree or another by materials.

Historically, the development and advancement of societies have been intimately tied to the

members’ ability to produce and manipulate materials to fill their needs. In fact, early

civilizations have been designated by the level of their materials development (i.e., Stone

Age, Bronze Age). The earliest humans had access to only a very limited number of

materials, those that occur naturally: stone, wood, clay, skins, and so on. With time they

HENDAR PRASOJO

201710140311146 / TEKNIK INDUSTRI 1C

discovered techniques for producing materials that had properties superior to those of the

natural ones; these new materials included pottery and various metals. Furthermore, it was

discovered that the properties of a material could be altered by heat treatments and by the

addition of other substances. At this point, materials utilization was totally a selection

process, that is, deciding from a given, rather limited set of materials the one that was best

suited for an application by virtue of its characteristics. It was not until relatively recent times

that scientists came to understand the relationships between the structural elements of

materials and their properties. This knowledge, acquired in the past 60 years or so, has

empowered them to fashion, to a large degree, the characteristics of materials. Thus, tens of

thousands of different materials have evolved with rather specialized characteristics that meet

the needs of our modern and complex society; these include metals, plastics, glasses, and

fibers. The development of many technologies that make our existence so comfortable has

been intimately associated with the accessibility of suitable materials. An advancement in the

understanding of a material type is often the forerunner to the stepwise progression of a

technology. For example, automobiles would not have been possible without the availability

of inexpensive steel or some other comparable substitute. In our contemporary era,

sophisticated electronic devices rely on components that are made from what are called

semiconducting materials.

MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

The discipline of materials science involves investigating the relationships that exist between

the structures and properties of materials. In contrast, materials engineering is, on the basis of

these structure–property correlations, designing or engineering the structure of a material to

produce a predetermined set of properties. Throughout this text we draw attention to the

relationships between material properties and structural elements.

‘‘Structure’’ is at this point a nebulous term that deserves some explanation. In brief, the

structure of a material usually relates to the arrangement of its internal components.

Subatomic structure involves electrons within the individual atoms and interactions with their

nuclei. On an atomic level, structure encompasses the organization of atoms or molecules

relative to one another. The next larger structural realm, which contains large groups of atoms

that are normally agglomerated together, is termed ‘‘microscopic,’’ meaning that which is

subject to direct observation using some type of microscope. Finally, structural elements that

may be viewed with the naked eye are termed ‘‘macroscopic.’’ The notion of ‘‘property’’

deserves elaboration. While in service use, all materials are exposed to external stimuli that

evoke some type of response. For example, a specimen subjected to forces will experience

deformation; or a polished metal surface will reflect light. 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. For each there is a characteristic type

of stimulus capable of provoking different responses. Mechanical properties relate

deformation to an applied load or force; examples include elastic modulus and strength. For

electrical properties, such as electrical conductivity and dielectric constant, the stimulus is an

electric field. The thermal behavior of solids can be represented in terms of heat capacity and

thermal conductivity. Magnetic properties demonstrate the response of a material to the

application of a magnetic field. For optical properties, the stimulus is electromagnetic or light

radiation; index of refraction and reflectivity are representative optical properties. Finally,

deteriorative characteristics indicate the chemical reactivity of materials. The chapters that

follow discuss properties that fall within each of these six classifications. In addition to

structure and properties, two other important components are involved in the science and

Engineering Materials 1, An Introduction to their Properties and Applications

HENDAR PRASOJO

201710140311146 / TEKNIK INDUSTRI 1C

engineering of materials, viz. ‘‘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 material’s performance will be a function of its properties. Thus,

the interrelationship between processing, structure, properties, and performance is linear, as

depicted in the schematic illustration shown in Figure 1.1. Throughout this text we draw

attention to the relationships among these four components in terms of the design,

production, and utilization of materials. We now present an example of these processing-

structure-properties-performance principles with Figure 1.2, a photograph showing three thin

disk specimens placed over some printed matter. It is obvious that the optical properties (i.e.,

the light transmittance) of each of the three materials are different; the one on the left is

transparent (i.e., virtually all of the reflected light passes through it), whereas the disks in the

center and on the right are, respectively, translucent and opaque. All of these specimens are of

the same material, aluminum oxide, but the leftmost one is what we call a single crystal—that

is, it is highly perfect—which gives rise to its transparency. The center one is composed of

numerous and very small single crystals that are all connected; the boundaries between these

small crystals scatter a portion of the light reflected from the printed page, which makes this

material optically translucent. And finally, the specimen on the right is composed not only of

many small, interconnected crystals, but also of a large number of very small pores or void

spaces. These pores also effectively scatter the reflected light and render this material opaque.

Thus, the structures of these three specimens are different in terms of crystal boundaries and

pores, which affect the optical transmittance properties. Furthermore, each material was

produced using a different processing technique. And, of course, if optical transmittance is an

important parameter relative to the ultimate in-service application, the performance of each

material will be different.

WHY STUDY MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING?

Why do we study materials? Many an applied scientist or engineer, whether mechanical,

civil, chemical, or electrical, will at one time or another be exposed to a design problem

involving materials. Examples might include a transmission gear, the superstructure for a

building, an oil refinery component, or an integrated circuit chip. Of course, materials

scientists and engineers are specialists who are totally involved in the investigation and

design of materials. Many times, a materials problem is one of selecting the right material

from the many thousands that are available. There are several criteria on which the final

decision is normally based. First of all, the in-service conditions must be characterized, for

these will dictate the properties required of the material. On only rare occasions does a

material possess the maximum or ideal combination of properties. Thus, it may be necessary

to trade off one characteristic for another. The classic example involves strength and ductility;

normally, a material having a high strength will have only a limited ductility. In such cases a

reasonable compromise between two or more properties may be necessary. A second

selection consideration is any deterioration of material properties that may occur during

service operation. For example, significant reductions in mechanical strength may result from

exposure to elevated temperatures or corrosive environments. Finally, probably the overriding

consideration is that of economics: What will the finished product cost? A material may be

found that has the ideal set ofpropertiesbut isprohibitively expensive.Hereagain,

somecompromise isinevitable. The cost of a finished piece also includes any expense incurred

during fabrication to produce the desired shape. The more familiar an engineer or scientist is

with the various characteristics and structure–property relationships, as well as processing

techniques of materials, the more proficient and confident he or she will be to make judicious

materials choices based on these criteria.

Design-limiting properties

The performance of a component is limited by certain of the properties of the materials of

which it is made. This means that, to achieve a desired level of performance, the values of the

design-limiting properties must meet certain targets—those that fail to do so are not suitable.

In the cartoon of Figure 1.2, stiffness, strength and toughness are design limiting—if any one

of them were too low, the plane won’t fly. In the design of power transmission lines electrical

resistivity is design limiting; in the design of a camera lens, it is optical quality and refractive

index. Materials are chosen by identifying the design-limiting properties and applying limits

to them, screening out those that do not meet the limits (Chapter 3). Processes, too, have

properties, although we have not met them yet. These too can be design limiting, leading to a

parallel scheme for choosing viable processes (Chapters 18 and 19).

CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS

Solid materials have been conveniently grouped into three basic classifications: metals,

ceramics, and polymers. This scheme is based primarily on chemical makeup and atomic

structure, and most materials fall into one distinct grouping or another, although there are

some intermediates. In addition, there are three other groups of important engineering

materials—composites, semiconductors, and biomaterials. Composites consist of

combinations of two or more different materials, whereas semiconductors are utilized

because of their unusual electrical characteristics; biomaterials are implanted into the human

body. A brief explanation of the material types and representative characteristics is offered

next.

METALS Metallic materials are normally combinations of metallic elements. They have

large numbersofnonlocalizedelectrons;thatis,theseelectronsarenotboundtoparticular atoms.

Many properties of metals are directly attributable to these electrons. Metals are extremely

good conductors of electricity and heat and are not transparent to visible light; a polished

metal surface has a lustrous appearance. Furthermore, metals are quite strong, yet

deformable, which accounts for their extensive use in structural applications.

CERAMICS Ceramics are compounds between metallic and nonmetallic elements; they are

most frequently oxides, nitrides, and carbides. The wide range of materials that falls within

this classification includes ceramics that are composed of clay minerals,

cement,andglass.Thesematerialsaretypically insulativetothepassageofelectricity and heat, and

are more resistant to high temperatures and harsh environments than metals and polymers.

With regard to mechanical behavior, ceramics are hard but very brittle.

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; furthermore, they have very large molecular structures. These materials typically

have low densities and may be extremely flexible.

COMPOSITES A number of composite materials have been engineered that consist of more

than one material type. Fiberglass is a familiar example, in which glass fibers are embedded

within a polymeric material. A composite is designed to display a combination of the best

characteristics of each of the component materials. Fiberglass acquires strength from the glass

and flexibility from the polymer. Many of the recent material developments have involved

composite materials.

201710140311146 / TEKNIK INDUSTRI 1C

SEMICONDUCTORS Semiconductors have electrical properties that are intermediate

between the electrical conductors and insulators. Furthermore, the electrical characteristics of

these materials are extremely sensitive to the presence of minute concentrations of impurity

atoms, which concentrations may be controlled over very small spatial regions. The

semiconductors have made possible the advent of integrated circuitry that has totally

revolutionized the electronics and computer industries (not to mention our lives) over the past

two decades.

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 (i.e., must not cause adverse biological

reactions). All of the above materials—metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and

semiconductors—may be used as biomaterials.For example, in Section 20.8 are discussed

some of the biomaterials that are utilized in artificial hip replacements.

ADVANCED MATERIALS

Materials that are utilized in high-technology (or high-tech) applications are sometimes

termed advanced materials. By high technology we mean a device or product that operates or

functions using relatively intricate and sophisticated principles; examples include electronic

equipment (VCRs, CD players, etc.), computers, fiberoptic systems, spacecraft, aircraft, and

military rocketry. These advanced materials are typically either traditional materials whose

properties have been enhanced or newly developed, high-performance materials.

Furthermore, they may be of all material types (e.g., metals, ceramics, polymers), and are

normally relatively expensive. In subsequent chapters are discussed the properties and

applications of a number of advanced materials—for example, materials that are used for

lasers, integrated circuits, magnetic information storage, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), fiber

optics, and the thermal protection system for the Space Shuttle Orbiter.

MODERN MATERIALS’NEEDS

In spite of the tremendous progress that has been made in the discipline of materials science

and engineering within the past few years, there still remain technological challenges,

including the development of even more sophisticated and specialized materials, as well as

consideration of the environmental impact of materials production. Some comment is

appropriate relative to these issues so as to round out this perspective. Nuclear energy holds

some promise, but the solutions to the many problems that remain will necessarily involve

materials, from fuels to containment structures to facilities for the disposal of radioactive

waste. Significant quantities of energy are involved in transportation. Reducing the weight of

transportation vehicles (automobiles, aircraft, trains, etc.), as well as increasing engine

operating temperatures, will enhance fuel efficiency. New highstrength, low-density structural

materials remain to be developed, as well as materials that have higher-temperature

capabilities, for use in engine components. Furthermore, there is a recognized need to find

new, economical sources of energy, and to use the present resources more efficiently.

Materials will undoubtedly play a significant role in these developments. For example, the

direct conversion of solar into electrical energy has been demonstrated. Solar cells employ

some rather complex and expensive materials. To ensure a viable technology, materials that

are highly efficient in this conversion process yet less costly must be developed. Furthermore,

environmental quality depends on our ability to control air and water pollution. Pollution

control techniques employ various materials. In addition, materials processing and refinement

methods need to be improved so that they produce less environmental degradation, that is,

less pollution and less despoilage of the landscape from the mining of raw materials. Also, in

some materials manufacturing processes, toxic substances are produced, and the ecological

impact of their disposal must be considered. Many materials that we use are derived from

resources that are nonrenewable, that is, not capable of being regenerated. These include

polymers, for which the prime raw material is oil, and some metals. These nonrenewable

resources are gradually becoming depleted, which necessitates: 1) the discovery of additional

reserves, 2) the development of new materials having comparable properties with less

adverse environmental impact, and/or 3) increased recycling efforts and the development of

new recycling technologies. As a consequence of the economics of not only production but

also environmental impact and ecological factors, it is becoming increasingly important to

consider the ‘‘cradle-to-grave’’ life cycle of materials relative to the overall manufacturing

process. The roles that materials scientists and engineers play relative to these, as well as

other environmental and societal issues, are discussed in more detail in Chapter 21.

Materials, processes and choice

Engineers make things. They make them out of materials. The materials have to support

loads, to insulate or conduct heat and electricity, to accept or reject magnetic flux, to transmit

or reflect light, to survive in often-hostile surroundings, and to do all this without damage to

the environment or costing too much. And there is the partner in all this. To make something

out of a material you also need a process. Not just any process—the one you choose has to be

compatible with the material you plan to use. Sometimes it is the process that is the dominant

partner and a material-mate must be found that is compatible with it. It is a marriage.

Compatibility is not easily found—many marriages fail— and material failure can be

catastrophic, with issues of liability and compensation. This sounds like food for lawyers, and

sometimes it is: some specialists make their living as expert witnesses in court cases

involving failed materials. But our aim here is not contention; rather, it is to give you a vision

of the materials universe (since, even on the remotest planets you will find the same

elements) and of the universe of processes, and to provide methods and tools for choosing

them to ensure a happy, durable union. But, you may say, engineers have been making things

out of materials for centuries, and successfully so—think of Isambard Kingdom Brunel,

Thomas Telford, Gustave Eiffel, Henry Ford, Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, the Wright

brothers. Why do we need new ways to choose them? A little history helps here. Glance at the

portrait with which this chapter starts: it shows James Stuart, the first Professor of

Engineering at Cambridge University from 1875 to 1890 (note the cigar). In his day the

number of materials available to engineers was small—a few hundred at most. There were no

synthetic polymers—there are now over 45000 of them. There were no light alloys

(aluminum was first established as an engineering material only in the 20th century)—now

there are thousands. There were no high-performance composites—now there are hundreds of

them. The history is developed further in Figure 1.1, the time-axis of which spans 10000

years. It shows roughly when each of the main classes of materials first evolved. The time-

scale is nonlinear—almost all the materials we use today were developed in the last 100

years. And this number is enormous: over 160000 materials are available to today’s engineer,

presenting us with a problem that Professor Stuart did not have: that of optimally selecting

from this huge menu. With the ever-increasing drive for performance, economy and

efficiency, and the imperative to avoid damage to the environment, making the right choice

becomes very important. Innovative design means the imaginative exploitation of the

properties offered by materials. These properties, today, are largely known and documented

in handbooks; one such—the ASM Materials Handbook—runs to 22 fat volumes, and it is

one of many. How are we to deal with this vast body of information? Fortunately another

thing has changed since Prof. Stuart’s day: we now have digital information storage and

manipulation. Computer-aided design is now a standard part of an engineer’s training, and it

is backed up by widely available packages for solid modeling, finite-element analysis,

optimization, and for material and process selection. Software for the last of these—the

selection of materials and processes—draws on databases of the attributes of materials and

processes, documenting their mutual compatibility, and allows them to be searched and

displayed in ways that enable selections that best meet the requirements of a design. If you

travel by foot, bicycle or car, you take a map. The materials landscape, like the terrestrial one,

can be complex and confusing; maps, here, are also a good idea. This text presents a design-

led approach to materials and manufacturing processes that makes use of maps: novel

graphics to display the world of materials and processes in easily accessible ways. They

present the properties of materials in ways that give a global view, that reveal relationships

between properties and that enable selection.

Material properties

So what are these properties? Some, like density (mass per unit volume) and price (the cost

per unit volume or weight) are familiar enough, but others are not, and getting them straight

is essential. Think first of those that have to do with carrying load safely—the mechanical

properties. Mechanical properties A steel ruler is easy to bend elastically—‘elastic’ means

that it springs back when released. Its elastic stiffness (here, resistance to bending) is set

partly by its shape—thin strips are easy to bend—and partly by a property of the steel itself:

its elastic modulus, E. Materials with high E, like steel, are intrinsically stiff; those with low

E, like polyethylene, are not. Figure 1.2(b) illustrates the consequences of inadequate

stiffness. The steel ruler bends elastically, but if it is a good one, it is hard to give it a

permanent bend. Permanent deformation has to do with strength, not stiffness. The ease with

which a ruler can be permanently bent depends, again, on its shape and on a different

property of the steel—its yield strength, σy. Materials with large σy, like titanium alloys, are

hard to deform permanently even though their stiffness, coming from E, may not be high;

those with low σy, like lead, can be deformed with ease. When metals deform, they generally

get stronger (this is called ‘work hardening’), but there is an ultimate limit, called the tensile

strength, σts, beyond which the material fails (the amount it stretches before it breaks is

called the ductility). Figure 1.2(c) gives an idea of the consequences of inadequate strength.

So far so good. One more. If the ruler were made not of steel but of glass or of PMMA

(Plexiglas, Perspex), as transparent rulers are, it is not possible to bend it permanently at all.

The ruler will fracture suddenly, without warning, before it acquires a permanent bend. We

think of materials that break in this way as brittle, and materials that do not as tough. There is

no permanent deformation here, so σy is not the right property. The resistance of materials to

cracking and fracture is measured instead by the fracture toughness, K1c. Steels are tough—

well, most are (steels can be made brittle)—they have a high K1c. Glass epitomizes

brittleness; it has a very low K1c.Figure 1.2(d) suggests consequences of inadequate fracture

and toughness. We started with the material property density, mass per unit volume, symbol

ρ. Density, in a ruler, is irrelevant. But for almost anything that moves, weight carries a fuel

penalty, modest for automobiles, greater for trucks and trains, greater still for aircraft, and

enormous in space vehicles. Minimizing weight has much to do with clever design—we will

get to that later—but equally to choice of material. Aluminum has a low density, lead a high

one. If our little aircraft were made of lead, it would never get off the ground at all (Figure

1.2(e)). These are not the only mechanical properties, but they are the most important ones.

We will meet them, and the others, in Chapters 4–11.

Thermal properties The properties of a material change with temperature, usually for the

worse. Its strength falls, it starts to ‘creep’ (to sag slowly over time), it may oxidize, degrade

or decompose (Figure 1.3(a)). This means that there is a limiting temperature called the

maximum service temperature, Tmax, above which its use is impractical. Stainless steel has a

high Tmax—it can be used up to 800°C; most polymers have a low Tmax and are seldom

used above 150°C. Most materials expand when they are heated, but by differing amounts

depending on their thermal expansion coefficient, α. The expansion is small, but its

consequences can be large. If, for instance, a rod is constrained, as in Figure 1.3(b), and then

heated, expansion forces the rod against the constraints, causing it to buckle. Railroad track

buckles in this way if provision is not made to cope with it. Some materials—metals, for

instance—feel cold; others—like woods—feel warm. This feel has to do with two thermal

properties of the material: thermal conductivity and heat capacity. The first, thermal

conductivity, λ, measures the rate at which heat flows through the material when one side is

hot and the other cold. Materials with high λ are what you want if you wish to conduct heat

from one place to another, as in cooking pans, radiators and heat exchangers; Figure 1.3(c)

suggests consequences of high and low λ for the cooking vessel. But low λ is useful too—low

λ materials insulate homes, reduce the energy consumption of refrigerators and freezers, and

enable space vehicles to re-enter the earth’s atmosphere. These applications have to do with

long-time, steady, heat flow. When time is limited, that other property—heat capacity, Cp—

matters. It measures the amount of heat that it takes to make the temperature of material rise

by a given amount. High heat capacity materials—copper, for instance—require a lot of heat

to change their temperature; low heat capacity materials, like polymer foams, take much less.

Steady heat flow has, as we have said, to do with thermal conductivity. There is a subtler

property that describes what happens when heat is first applied. Think of lighting the gas

under a cold slab of material with a bole of ice-cream on top (here, lime ice-cream) as in

Figure 1.3(d). An instant after ignition, the bottom surface is hot but the rest is cold. After a

while, the middle gets hot, then later still, the top begins to warm up and the ice-cream first

starts to melt. How long does this take? For a given thickness of slab, the time is inversely

proportional to the thermal diffusivity, a,of the material of the slab. It differs from the

conductivity because materials differ in their heat capacity—in fact, it is proportional to λ/Cp.

There are other thermal properties—we’ll meet them in Chapters 12 and 13—but this is

enough for now. We turn now to matters electrical, magnetic and optical.

Electrical, magnetic and optical properties We start with electrical conduction and insulation

(Figure 1.4(a)). Without electrical conduction we would lack the easy access to light, heat,

power, control and communication that—today—we take for granted. Metals conduct well—

copper and aluminum are the best of those that are affordable. But conduction is not always a

good thing. Fuse boxes, switch casings, the suspensions for transmission lines all require

insulators, and in addition those that can carry some load, tolerate some heat and survive a

spark if there were one. Here the property we want is resistivity, ρe, the inverse of electrical

conductivity κe. Most plastics and glass have high resistivity (Figure 1.4(a))—they are used

as insulators—though, by special treatment, they can be made to conduct a little. Figure

1.4(b) suggests further electrical properties: the ability to allow the passage of microwave

radiation, as in the radome, or to reflect them, as in the passive reflector of the boat. Both

have to do with dielectric properties, particularly the dielectric constant εD. Materials with

high εD respond to an electric field by shifting their electrons about, even reorienting their

molecules; those with low εD are immune to the field and do not respond. We explore this

and other electrical properties in Chapter 14. Electricity and magnetism are closely linked.

Electric currents induce magnetic fields; a moving magnet induces, in any nearby conductor,

an electric current. The response of most materials to magnetic fields is too small to be of

practical value. But a few—called ferromagnets and ferrimagnets—have the capacity to trap

a magnetic field permanently. These are called ‘hard’ magnetic materials because, once

magnetized, they are hard to demagnetize. They are used as permanent magnets in

headphones, motors and dynamos. Here the key property is the remanence, a measure of the

intensity of the retained magnetism. A few others—‘soft’ magnet materials—are easy to

magnetize and demagnetize. They are the materials of transformer cores and the deflection

coils of a TV tube. They have the capacity to conduct a magnetic field, but not retain it

permanently (Figure 1.4(c)). For these a key property is the saturation magnetization, which

measures how large a field the material can conduct. These we meet again in Chapter 15.

Materials respond to light as well as to electricity and magnetism—hardly surprising, since

light itself is an electromagnetic wave. Materials that are opaque reflect light; those that are

transparent refract it, and some have the ability to absorbsome wavelengths (colors) while

allowing others to pass freely (Figure 1.4(d)). These are explored in more depth in Chapter

16. Chemical properties Products often have to function in hostile environments, exposed to

corrosive fluids, to hot gases or to radiation. Damp air is corrosive, so is water; the sweat of

your hand is particularly corrosive, and of course there are far more aggressive environments

than these. If the product is to survive for its design life it must be made of materials—or at

least coated with materials—that can tolerate the surroundings in which they operate. Figure

1.5 illustrates some of the commonest of these: fresh and salt water, acids and alkalis, organic

solvents, oxidizing flames and ultraviolet radiation. We regard the intrinsic resistance of a

material to each of these as material properties, measured on a scale of 1 (very poor) to 5

(very good). Chapter 17 deals with the material durability.
