Study Notes
Introduction
- Engineering materials are crucial for daily life and survival.
- Gold was the first metal used, followed by copper.
- Engineering materials, material science, and materials engineering are areas of science focused on the study of materials.
- These fields are critical in various engineering purposes and requirements.
- Iron is the most popular metal used in engineering.
- All metals have a crystalline structure.
Basic Concepts of Crystal Structure
- Crystalline solids' properties depend on their crystal structure.
- The crystal structure describes how atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in space.
- Space lattice is a periodic arrangement of points in space.
- Lattice points represent atoms.
- Lattice array is the arrangement of lattice points.
- Lattice space is the space covered by the lattice points.
- The unit cell is a tiny block that represents the symmetry of the crystal structure. This is a small repeating entity within the lattice.
- Unit cells help define the basic building block of the crystal structure.
- Lattice parameters (a, b, c, α, β, and γ) describe the dimensions and angles of the unit cell. These are typically measured in Angstroms (Å).
- There are seven crystal systems (cubic, hexagonal, tetragonal, rhombohedral, orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic) based on the relationships between the cell dimensions and angles. Diagrams and examples of their geometry are included.
- 14 types of Bravais lattices are possible, representing different ways unit cells can be centered.
Metallic Crystal Structures
- Simple Cubic (SC): Atoms are placed only at the corners of a cube. Packing density is relatively low. Polonium is an example.
- Body-Centered Cubic (BCC): Atoms are placed at the corners and the center of a cube. Examples include alpha iron, chromium, tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum.
- Face-Centered Cubic (FCC): Atoms are placed at the corners and the centers of each face of a cube. Examples include aluminum, copper, gold, lead, silver, nickel.
- Hexagonal Closed-Packed (HCP): Atoms form a hexagonal arrangement in parallel layers. Examples include zinc, lithium, magnesium, beryllium
Crystallographic Directions
- Crystallographic directions are lines or vectors between two points.
- Directions are represented by coordinates (x, y, z) of a point on a vector that passes through the origin, enclosed in square brackets [uvw].
- The coordinates are reduced to their lowest terms.
- Specific examples are given for hexagonal crystals. Conversion is described from notation with four parameters to three [xyuz] → [XYZ].
Properties of Crystals
- Coordination Number (CN): Number of nearest neighbor atoms/ions surrounding an atom/ion.
- Atomic Packing Factor (APF): Ratio of volume of atoms in a unit cell to the volume of the unit cell (0.52 for SC, 0.68 for BCC, 0.74 for FCC and HCP).
- Planar Density: Density of atomic packing on a particular plane. Formula given.
- Linear Density: Number of atoms per unit length along a direction. Formula given.
Metals
- Metals are employed for various engineering purposes and requirements.
- Iron is the most popular metal in the field of engineering and has a crystalline structure.
Alloy
- An alloy is a mixture or compound of two or more elements, at least one of which is metallic.
- Alloying enhances some properties (strength, hardness) compared to pure metals.
- Solid solutions can be substitutional or interstitial.
- Substitutional: atoms of the solvent element are replaced.
- Interstitial: the dissolving element fits into the vacant spaces between the base metal atoms.
- Intermediate phases form when the amount of the dissolving element exceeds the solid solubility limit.
Importance of Metals
- High stiffness and strength, can be alloyed for increased rigidity, strength & hardness.
- Toughness – capacity to absorb energy.
- Good electrical conductivity – metals are conductors.
- Good thermal conductivity – conduct heat better than ceramics or polymers.
- Cost – Steel is competitive with other engineering materials.
Metals Used in Manufacturing Process
- Cast Metal: starting form is a casting.
- Wrought Metal: metal has been worked or can be worked after casting.
- Powdered Metal: starting form is very small powders.
Classification of Metals (updated)
- Ferrous Metals: Contain iron as a main constituent (cast iron, wrought iron, steel).
- Non-ferrous Metals: Practically do not contain iron. (Aluminum, copper, tin, zinc, lead).
Ferrous Metals (specific types)
- (Existing information on specific ferrous metals types, their properties, and uses is retained. Additions below)*
- Types of cast iron (gray, white, chilled, malleable, toughened). Properties and uses of each are given. Gray cast iron is soft and has low strength but is good for casting. White cast iron is hard and brittle, and used for making pump liners. Chilled cast iron contains high amounts of carbon, and is used in manufacturing items such as rail car wheels. Malleable cast iron is made from white cast iron and can be easily forged & welded, while toughened cast iron is made by combining cast iron with wrought iron scrap. The different types of cast iron are distinguished by their carbon content and metallurgical processing.
- Wrought iron, properties and uses given. It is soft, ductile, malleable, tough, and resists corrosion. Typically used in forging & welding.
- Steel, types (low/mild, medium, high carbon) and their properties and uses. Low-carbon steel is more malleable and ductile, medium-carbon steel offers higher strength and toughness, and high-carbon steel is harder and more brittle, often used in springs and tools.
- Alloy steel, additional alloying elements added, and their properties and uses given. Specific examples of alloy steels like chromium steel, cobalt steel, manganese steel, tungsten steel, vanadium steel and nickel steel are provided, including their alloying elements, properties, and typical uses. The addition of alloying elements results in specialized properties for specific applications. The different types of steel are defined by their carbon content, with low carbon steels being more malleable and ductile, while high carbon steels are harder and more brittle.
Non-ferrous Metals (specific types)
(Existing information is retained)
- Aluminum, properties and uses given. (Specific uses expanded) Uses for Aluminum include electrical conductors, alloys, cooking utensils, surgical instruments, parts of aircraft, and paints.
- Copper, properties and uses given. (Specific uses expanded) Uses of Copper include electrical cables and wires, alloys, house hold utensils, bolts, nuts, tubes, pipes, and more.
- Tin, properties and uses given. (Specific uses expanded) Uses of Tin include plating, lining lead pipes, making alloys and solders, and making various containers.
- Zinc, properties and uses given. (Specific uses expanded) Uses of Zinc include galvanizing steel, roofing materials, pipes, certain alloys for brass, and negative poles of batteries.
- Lead, properties and uses given. (Specific uses expanded) Uses include making shots, bullets, gas pipes, printer's type, plumbing, and roof coverings.
Superalloys
- Three main types (iron-based, nickel-based, cobalt-based).
- Importance for room and high temperatures. (Details expanded) Superalloys exhibit exceptional strength and stability at high temperatures, making them crucial in high-temperature applications like jet engines, gas turbines, and other industrial processes. Examples of applications, including gas turbines, jet and rocket engines, steam turbines, and nuclear power plants, are provided.
- Room temperature strength properties are good but not outstanding in comparison to other materials.
- High temperature performance is excellent, featuring tensile strength, hot hardness, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance at very elevated temperatures. (Details expanded), specifically, maintaining their structural integrity, and resistance to deformation (creep), under high-temperature stresses.

Chemistry and the Environment
- (Existing information is maintained and updated where appropriate, adding detail on formation and composition of various soil types, and further expanding on the role/properties of chemical components of the atmosphere.) The formation and composition of soil are influenced by various factors such as parent material, climate, topography, biological activity, and time. Soil profiles consist of layers called horizons characterized by different physical properties (like texture, structure, and color) and chemical characteristics (such as pH and nutrient content). The atmosphere is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar). Smaller quantities of gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and trace gases contribute to various processes. Note that water vapor plays critical roles in both the atmosphere and on the Earth's surface. It is a major component of the climate system, and acts as a primary source of energy for many natural processes influencing the environment, including weather patterns, plant life, and water cycles.
