BASIC MATERIALS SCIENCE OCTOBER SEMESTER 2024 CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION TO MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 1. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.2 CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS 1.3 MATERIALS SELECTION 1.4 MATERIALS SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) 1.1 INTRODUCTION Materials - defined as a substance that is intended to be used for certain applications. Materials Science – involves investigating the relationships that exist between the structures and properties of materials. Materials Engineering – correlation of structure-properties of materials to produce a predetermined set of properties for the engineering applications. 1.1 INTRODUCTION What is material science? Definition 1: A branch of science that focuses on materials; interdisciplinary field composed of physics and chemistry. Definition 2: Relationship of material properties to its composition and structure. What is a material scientist? A person who uses his/her combined knowledge of physics, chemistry and metallurgy to exploit property-structure combinations for practical use. DISCUSSION Material Science is the investigation of relationship among : Structure: At the atomic level: arrangement of atoms in different ways. (Gives different properties for graphite than diamond both forms of carbon.) At the microscopic level: arrangement of small grains of material that can be identified by microscopy. (Gives different optical properties to transparent vs. frosted glass.) Properties are the way of material responds to the environment. For instance, the properties are the responses to mechanical, electrical and magnetic forces, respectively. Other important properties are (transmission of heat, heat capacity), (absorption, transmission and scattering of light), and the in contact with the environment (like corrosion resistance). Processing of materials is the application of heat (heat treatment), mechanical forces, etc. to affect their microstructure and, therefore, their properties Performance - behavior in a particular application, eg : corrosion, oxidation behavior Relationship among the components Arrangement of internal components Microsopic & Macroscopic (bulk) Response to external stimulus Mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, Method of preparing optical material Behavior in a particular application Steel Production Chocolate Production CHOCOLATE ALSO A PART OF MATERIALS SCIENCE !

METALLIC POLYMERIC MATERIALS MATERIALS have a wide range of strength from low to very high; generally have high - some have very high hardness and are CERAMIC COMPOSITE strength-to-weight ratios mechanically brittle. MATERIALS MATERIALS (e.g. carbon-fiber epoxy High thermal and materials). electrical resistance - some have medium High resistance to strength and are able to corrosion NATURAL be cast or formed into a High temperature MATERIALS variety of shapes (e.g. stability fiberglass-polyester materials). - some have useable strengths at very low cost.

(b) identify materials that would satisfy these criteria. (c) why would a solid metal helmet not be a good choice? 1.4 MSDS What do MSDSs contain? Identification of the product Composition/ information on ingredients. (Exact formulations & details of non-hazardous components not required – protects from rival manufacturers) Alcohol Ethoxylate
