Week Subject
Materials Science -> involves investigating the relationships that exist between the
structures and properties of materials. It is concerned with the search for basic
knowledge about the internal structure, properties, and processing of materials

CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIALS
Metals Ceramics & Glasses Polymers
• good conductors of • thermally and • very large molecules
electricity and heat electrically insulating • low density, low weight
• lustrous appearance • resistant to high • maybe extremely
• susceptible to temperatures and flexible
corrosion harsh environments
• strong, but • hard, but brittle

TYPES OF MATERIALS
Metallic Materials
Composed of one or more metallic elements.
Example:- Iron, Copper, Aluminum.
Metallic element may combine with nonmetallic
elements.
Example:- Silicon Carbide, Iron Oxide.
Inorganic and have crystalline structure.
Good thermal and electric conductors.
Metals and Alloys
Ferrous Nonferrous
Eg: Steel, Eg:Copper
Cast Iron Aluminum
CLASSES AND PROPERTIES: METALS
Distinguishing features
• Atoms arranged in a regular repeating structure
• Relatively good strength
• Dense
• Malleable or ductile: high plasticity
• Resistant to fracture: tough
• Excellent conductors of electricity and heat
• Opaque to visible light
• Shiny appearance
• Thus, metals can be formed and machined easily, and are usually long-lasting
materials.
• They do not react easily with other elements, however, metals such as Fe and Al do
form compounds readily (such as ores) so they must be processed to extract base
metals.
• One of the main drawbacks is that metals do react with chemicals in the
environment, such as iron-oxide (rust).
• Many metals do not have high melting points, making them useless for many
applications.

CLASSES AND PROPERTIES: METALS
Applications
• Electrical wiring
• Structures: buildings, bridges, etc.
• Automobiles: body, chassis, springs, engine block, etc.
• Airplanes: engine components, fuselage, landing gear
assembly, etc.
• Trains: rails, engine components, body, wheels
• Machine tools: drill bits, hammers, screwdrivers, saw blades,
etc.
• Shape memory materials: eye glasses
• Magnets
• Catalysts
Examples
• Pure metal elements (Cu, Fe, Zn, Ag, etc.)
• Alloys (Cu-Sn=bronze, Cu-Zn=brass, Fe-C=steel, Pb-
Sn=solder, NiTinol)
• Intermetallic compounds (e.g. Ni3Al)

• Hard
• Brittle
• Electrical insulators
• Poor thermal conduction
• Heat and corrosion resistant
• Can be transparent or opaque

TYPES OF MATERIALS
Ceramic Materials
Metallic and nonmetallic elements are chemically bonded together.
Inorganic but can be either crystalline, noncrystalline or mixture of
both.
High hardness, strength and wear resistance.
Very good insulator. Hence used for furnace lining for heat treating
and melting metals.
Also used in space shuttle to insulate it during exit and reentry into
atmosphere.
Other applications : Abrasives, construction materials, utensils etc.
• Where metals react readily with chemicals in the environment and have low
application temperatures in many cases, ceramics do not suffer from these
drawbacks.
• Ceramics are heat resistant. Ceramics form both in crystalline and non-crystalline
phases because they can be cooled rapildy from the molten state to form glassy
materials. 58

Examples
• Simple oxides (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO)
• Mixed-metal oxides (SrTiO3, MgAl2O4, YBa2Cu3O7-x, having
vacancy defects.)
• Nitrides (Si3N4, AlN, GaN, BN, and TiN, which are used for hard
coatings.)

TYPES OF MATERIALS
Polymeric (Plastic) Materials
Organic giant molecules and mostly noncrystalline.
Some are mixtures of crystalline and noncrystalline regions.
Poor conductors of electricity and hence used as insulators.
Strength and ductility vary greatly.
Low densities and decomposition temperatures.
• They are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to be easy to
bend, which makes them very useful as insulation for electrical wires.
They are also

Composites
-which consist of more than one material type
ME 212 Materials Science; T.Baykara
TYPES OF MATERIALS
Composite Materials
Mixture of two or more materials.
Consists of a filler material and a binding material.
Materials only bond, will not dissolve in each other.
Mainly two types :-
o Fibrous: Fibers in a matrix
o Particulate: Particles in a matrix
o Matrix can be metals, ceramic or polymer
Examples :-
Fiber Glass ( Reinforcing material in a polyester or epoxy matrix)
Concrete ( Gravels or steel rods reinforced in cement and sand)
Applications:- Aircraft wings and engine, construction.

Examples
• Fiberglass (glass fibers in a polymer)
• Space shuttle heat shields (interwoven ceramic fibers)
• Paints (ceramic particles in latex)
• Tank armor (ceramic particles in metal) 70

FUTURE TRENDS
Smart Materials : Change their properties by sensing
external stimulus.
