Course Outcome
By the end of semester, you should be able to:

Explain the elementary relationships between structure,
properties and performance of materials

Distinguish the various classes of materials (metals,
ceramics, polymers and composites) , their fundamental
chemical and structural nature and processing methods

Utilize the knowledge on structure and properties of
materials to solve real engineering-based case studies


Program Outcome

applications of different types of materials
Materials Science and
Engineering
Internal structure,
properties and
processing of
materials

or desired by
society
Why study materials
science and engineering?
To be able to select a material for a given use based
on considerations of cost and performance.

To understand the limits of materials and the change
of their properties with use.

To be able to create a new material that will have
some desirable properties.
Transmittance:
-- Aluminum
oxide may be
transparent,
translucent, or
opaque
depending on the
material structure

POP QUIZ!!
Classification of
Materials
? ? ? ?
?
Metal
Combination of metallic elements
Good conductors
Not transparent
Shiny appearance
Strong & deformable (ductile)
Examples steel, aluminium, copper etc.

Metal
Accepted from Callister 7e.
Ceramics and Glasses
Compounds between metallic and nonmetallic
elements (noncrystalline structure)
Oxides, nitrides and carbides
Insulative
Resistant
Hard but very brittle
Examples- AlO, MgO and silica
Glass - crystalline structure can transmit visible
light, UV, IR and inert
Ceramics
Accepted from Callister 7e.
Polymer
Long molecular chains based on organics
(carbon containing precursors)
Extremely flexible
Low density, lightweight
Drawbacks lower strength, lower T
melt
,
higher chemical reactivity
Examples: polyethylene, acrylics, nylon
Polymer
Accepted from Callister 7e.
Composites
Two or more materials integrated to form a
new one
Combination of the best characteristics of
each component material
Examples : Fiberglass, concrete, wood
Composites
Overview of wide
variety of composite
parts used in the Air
Forces C-17
transport. It uses
15000 lb of advanced
composites
Accepted from Callister 7e.
Competition among
materials
Its materials engineers job to select which item
should be used!!
Accepted from Callister 7e.
Case studies
Accepted from Callister 7e.
Carbonated Beverage
container
Provide barrier to passage of carbon dioxide
which is under pressure in the container
Be non toxic, non reactive with beverage
be recyclable
Relatively strong
Low cost
Optically Transparent
