    Study Notes

    Materials Science and Engineering

    • Materials Science: Study of underlying relationships between processing, structure, and properties of materials
    • Materials Engineering: Translation of materials into useful structures or devices

    Importance of Materials Science

    • Applied scientists and engineers must make material choices based on several criteria:
      • In-service conditions
      • Properties (strength, ductility, malleability)
      • Environment
      • Economics (cost of finished product)

    Classification of Materials

    • 6 main classifications of materials:
        1. Metals (e.g., Steel, Copper)
        1. Ceramics (e.g., Quartz, Alumina)
        1. Composites (e.g., Fiberglass, Asphalt)
        1. Polymers (e.g., Nylon, Rubber)
        1. Semiconductors (e.g., Silicon, Gallium Nitride)
        1. Biomaterials (used in medical implants, e.g., hip replacement)

    Materials Properties

    • Important components of Materials Science and Engineering:
      • Processing
      • Structure
      • Performance
      • Properties
    • Materials properties include:
      • Mechanical (strength, ductility)
      • Electrical
      • Thermal
      • Magnetic
