OVERVIEW

A. HARDNESS

MATERIAL
PROPERTIES 2

Generally, hard materials are more durable than soft

materials, because they are better at resisting wear
progressively worsening damage to their surface

B. Fatigue, Fracture Toughness and Creep

This problem is caused by cyclic loads forces that continually vary.
The consequence of fatigue is microcracking the formation of
cracks too small to see with the eye, and which worsen over time.

C. BASIC THERMAL PROPERTIES

Some materials conduct (carry or transmit) heat
better than others. Therefore, thermal
conductivity varies, depending on the material.

A. HARDNESS

A.
HARDNESS
The hardness of a material affects its durability
that is, how long last.

Hardness can be defined in two main ways:

SCRATCH
HARDNESS

Describes a materials ability to resist being

scratched. Materials with a high degree of
scratch hardness are said to have good
abrasion resistance

 INDENTATION
HARDNESS

Describes
a
materials
ability
to
resist
indentations that is, compressions in the
surface of a material caused by impacts.

B.FATIGUE,FRACTURE
TOUGHNESS AND CREEP
The article below is from an aviation megazine.

In aircraft construction, special attention must be paid to two materials problems

that are well understood by mechanical and structural engineers.
FATIGUE
One is fatigue, often called metal fatigue in
metals. This problem is caused by cyclic loads
forces that continually vary.
.

The consequence of fatigue is:

Microcracking
The formation of cracks too small to see with
the eye, and which worsen over time.

Creep
Another problem is creep
where components become
permanently deformed
(stretched, for example), due to
loads. Creep increases over time

The speed at which fatigue cracking

progresses depends on the materials fracture
toughness.

C. BASIC
THERMAL
PROPERTIES

C. BASIC THERMAL PROPERTIES

Copper, for example, is an excellent thermal
conductor. Polystyrene, on the other hand, is an
excellent thermal insulator (and so a very poor
thermal conductor).

As temperature increases, most materials expand

(increase in size due to heating), and as
temperature falls, they contract (decrease in size
due to cooling).

The extent to which expansion and

contraction occur is measured by a
materials

coeficiente of thermal
expansion

that is, its change in size for a given change in

temperature. The coffecient for aluminium, for
example, is 0.000023.
