Why do engineers need to study materials?


Because they make things out of them!

A brief history of materials


Stone Age (2.5million 3500 BC)

Stone, wood, leather

Only materials occurring naturally

Bronze Age (3500 1000 BC) Bronze = alloy of copper and tin

Properties of a material can be altered by heat treatment and addition of various substances

Iron Age (1000BC 1620s) Iron is stiffer, stronger and harder than bronze Development of better materials

Cast iron (c.1500AD)

Age of Steel (1620s 1950s) Bessemer process (1856)

Large-scale production

Inexpensive

Age of Polymers & Silicon (1950s 2000s)


The Molecular Age (2000s present)

Materials enabled advance of mankind

Case Study: Stone Axe


Blade: stone, shaped and sharpened
Handle: wood, cut to size, stripped of bark Joined by a strip of leather

Materials: chosen for their properties


Processes: Shaping Joinining, Finishing Material/Process compatibility Materials + Processes = Product

Case study: Fizzy drinks containers


Aluminium (metal)
Glass (ceramic)
Materials compete for the job!

PET (polymer)

Using materials in the 21st century


Performance
Integrity Environment

Efficiency

What do engineers need to make things out of materials successfully? The Map (of materials and processes universe) The Knowledge (= understanding of material properties) The Tools (and methods and tools for selecting the right material for the job)
