Study Notes
Materials Engineering Concepts
- Materials engineers are responsible for selecting, specifying, and ensuring the quality of materials used in a job.
Material Selection Criteria
- Economic factors affect material selection, considering: • Availability and cost of raw materials • Manufacturing costs • Transportation • Maintenance
- Mechanical properties of materials are also a crucial criterion, involving: • Response to external loads • Deformation of materials under load • Material properties that influence the response
