MATERIAL EVOLUTION
 Societies and civilizations have been designated by the level of their materials
development.

 Stone Age

 Bronze Age

 Iron Age

 and Now…………………..

 Earliest humans had access to very limited no. of materials which occurred naturally
like stone, wood, clay etc.

 With the passage of time, humans discovered techniques for producing materials that
give superior properties than the natural ones.

MATERIALS THROUGH THE AGES

Stone Age (beginning of life – 3000 BC)

Feature: Using naturally occurring materials with only changes in shape

MATERIALS THROUGH THE AGES

Bronze Age (3000 BC – 1200 BC)
Copper and Tin alloy

Ability to modify materials by

refining (using heat), chemical
modifications (alloying) and
mechanical deformation (cold
working)

MATERIALS THROUGH THE AGES

Iron Age (1200 BC – Present)

Casting and alloying wasn’t perfected until

16th century

Mastery of Steel (Iron alloy) technology

enables Industrial Revolution in the 18th
and 19th century

MATERIALS THROUGH THE AGES

Plastic Age (1940 - Present)

Discovery of polymers, and the ability to
synthesize and process polymers.

15

MATERIALS THROUGH THE AGES

Silicon Age (1950 - Present)

Commercialization of silicon technology
(integrated circuits, electronic devices, etc…)
leads to the information age, which gives
boost to human productivity

MANUFACTURING NEW MATERIALS

 Many of our modern technologies require materials with unusual combinations of

properties that cannot be met by the conventional metal alloys, ceramics, and polymeric
materials.

 This is especially true for materials that are needed for aerospace, underwater, and
structural applications.

 For example, aircraft engineers are increasingly searching for structural materials that have
low densities, are strong, stiff, with abrasion and impact resistant.

This is a rather formidable combination of characteristics.

 Frequently, strong materials are relatively dense; also, increasing the strength or
stiffness generally results in a decrease in impact strength.
