    Study Notes

    Industrial Materials

    • Industrial materials are substances used in processes to create goods; categorized by constituent nature and usage.
    • Mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties of metals can be modified using alloys.
    • Materials processing consists of unit operations to manufacture raw materials into finished goods.
    • Processed materials, such as paper, steel, and glass, are refined from raw materials.

    Types of Materials

    • Four main categories of materials: metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites.

    Metals

    • Metals exhibit a lustrous appearance, conducting electricity and heat effectively.
    • Characterized by malleability (ability to be hammered into sheets) and ductility (ability to be drawn into wires).

    Polymers

    • Polymers are large molecules made of repeating subunits, found in synthetic and natural forms.
    • Play vital roles in daily life due to their diverse properties.

    Ceramics

    • Ceramics are inorganic, non-metallic solids made from metallic or non-metallic compounds.
    • Typically hard, corrosion-resistant, and brittle after being hardened through heating.

    Composites

    • Composite materials combine two different materials to achieve enhanced properties like strength, lightness, or electrical resistance.
    • Designed to perform specific tasks better than the individual materials.

    Raw Materials

    • Raw materials are unprocessed substances, found in their natural state, essential for producing other products.
    • Sources of raw materials include plants, animals, and mines.
    • Examples include grains, vegetables, meat, wood, honey, minerals, and crude oil.

    Processed Items

    • Examples of processed items that are not raw materials: bread, toothpaste, sausages, furniture, cars, jewelry, clothing, and gasoline.

    Industrial Processes

    • Industrial processes encompass procedures involving chemical, physical, electrical, or mechanical steps for manufacturing, typically on a large scale.
    • Critical for heavy industry, with key processes including smelting, the Haber process, disinfection, and pyroprocessing.

    Manufacturing Processes

    • Types of manufacturing processes: casting and molding, machining, joining, shearing, and forming.

    Casting and Molding

    • Casting involves pouring liquid material into a mold with a desired shape, allowing it to solidify.
    • The solidified part is known as a casting.

    Machining

    • Machining uses cutting tools to remove small material chips from a workpiece, shaping it into the desired form.

    Joining

    • Joining processes like welding, brazing, soldering, and adhesive bonding create permanent unions between parts.
    • These joints are difficult to separate through applied forces, sometimes enhanced with filler materials.

    Shearing and Forming

    • Shearing (or die cutting) cuts materials without producing chips, utilizing straight or curved cutting blades.
