1.0 Aim / Benefits of the Micro-Project

The mechanical properties of a material are those properties that involve a reaction to
an applied load. The mechanical properties of metals determine the range of usefulness
of a material and establish the service life that can be expected. Mechanical properties
are also used to help classify and identify material. The most common properties
considered are strength, ductility, hardness

2.0 Course Outcomes Addressed

 The physical properties of an alloy are items that are measurable. Physical
characteristics of metal are things such as density, melting point, conductivity,
and coefficient of expansion.
 The mechanical properties of an alloy are how the metal performs when different
forces are applied to them. Mechanical characteristics include things such as
strength, ductility, and wear resistance.

3.0 Proposed Methodology

 First of all, we understand the micro project and Discuss with the guide then
prepared on it all the five students in the group were well explained the project.
  The work was distributed to all group members and the project proposal was first
prepare.
 After the proposal the preparation of the real project is on. After understanding
the project, we need some resources to prepare the micro project on Elastics
Constants.

“Select ten materials from day to day life and compare
their mechanical properties”

RATIONALE

A material’s chemical composition and internal structure (such as grain size or crystal
structure) determine its mechanical and physical properties. Mechanical properties may
be affected by processing due to the rearrangement of the internal structure.
Metalworking processes or heat treatment might play a role in affecting some physical
properties like density and electrical conductivity. However, these effects are usually
insignificant.
How do the properties of a metal determine its uses Mechanical and physical properties
are key determinants of what alloy is suitable for a given application when multiple
alloys can work. In almost every instance, an engineer designs the metal part to perform
within a given range of physical and mechanical properties.
Many mechanical properties are interdependent. For example, high performance in one
category may be coupled with lower performance in another. For example, higher
strength in metals may be achieved at the expense of lower ductility. So, a good
understanding of the product’s environment will lead to the selection of the best
material for the application.

 AIM/BENEFITS
Engineering materials refers to the group of materials that are used in the construction
of manmade structures and components. The primary function of an engineering
material is to withstand applied loading without breaking and without exhibiting
excessive deflection. The major classifications of engineering materials include metals,
polymers, ceramics, and composites. The important characteristics of the materials
within each of these classes are discussed on this page, and tables of material properties
are also provided
  COURSE OUTCOMES

 The physical properties of an alloy are items that are measurable. Physical
characteristics of metal are things such as density, melting point, conductivity,
and coefficient of expansion.
 The mechanical properties of an alloy are how the metal performs when different
forces are applied to them. Mechanical characteristics include things such as
strength, ductility, and wear resistance.

 LITERATURE REVIEW
Certainly! Here are ten common materials from everyday life along with a
comparison of their mechanical properties:

1. Steel:
 Density: High
 Strength: High (depending on the grade)
 Hardness: High
 Ductility: Moderate
 Elastic Modulus: High
 Toughness: High
 Brittleness: Low
2. Aluminum:
 Density: Low
 Strength: Moderate (depending on the alloy)
 Hardness: Low to Moderate
 Ductility: High
 Elastic Modulus: Moderate
 Toughness: Moderate
 Brittleness: Low
3. Wood (e.g., Oak):
 Density: Low to Moderate
 Strength: Moderate (varies with species)
 Hardness: Low to Moderate
 Ductility: Low
 Elastic Modulus: Low to Moderate
 Toughness: Moderate
 Brittleness: Low
4. Glass:
 Density: Moderate
  Strength: Moderate to High (depends on type and tempering)
 Hardness: High
 Ductility: Very low
 Elastic Modulus: High
 Toughness: Low
 Brittleness: Very high
5. Rubber:
 Density: Low
 Strength: Low
 Hardness: Low
 Ductility: High
 Elastic Modulus: Low
 Toughness: Low
 Brittleness: Very low
6. Plastic (e.g., Polyethylene):
 Density: Low
 Strength: Low to Moderate (depends on type and grade)
 Hardness: Low
 Ductility: High
 Elastic Modulus: Low
 Toughness: Low to Moderate
 Brittleness: Low
7. Concrete:
 Density: High
 Strength: High (compression), Low (tensile)
 Hardness: High
 Ductility: Very low

 Brittleness: High
8. Ceramics (e.g., Porcelain):

 Strength: High (compression), Low (tensile)
 Hardness: Very high
 Ductility: Very low
 Elastic Modulus: High
 Toughness: Very low
 Brittleness: Very high
9. Paper:
 Density: Low
 Strength: Low
 Hardness: Low
  Ductility: Low
 Elastic Modulus: Low
 Toughness: Low
 Brittleness: Low
10. Foam (e.g., Polyurethane foam):
 Density: Low
 Strength: Low
 Hardness: Low
 Ductility: Very low
 Elastic Modulus: Very low
 Toughness: Very low
 Brittleness: Very low

Remember that these properties can vary within each material category depending
on specific grades, alloys, or manufacturing processes. Additionally, the use and
performance of these materials can also depend on factors like temperature,
humidity, and other environmental conditions.

 ACTUAL METHODOLOGY
The Mechanical properties of engineering materials are those of the material that comes
into action on applying forces. A substance (often a solid) is characterized as material if
it is meant to be utilized for a certain purpose. We are surrounded by a wide variety of
materials used in everything from spacecraft to structures. Engineering Materials are
substances employed as raw materials for construction or organized production for an
engineering application. Materials are classified according to their characteristics. They
possess qualities such as magnetism, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, stiffness,
hardness, and thermal conductivity, among others. Among various materials, the
Mechanical properties of engineering materials tell the material’s response against
applied load.

The Mechanical properties of engineering materials can be used as a standard to

compare the advantages of various materials, assisting in the choice of materials. So a
good knowledge of the Mechanical properties of engineering materials is very
important for selecting materials for a particular application. Material selection is
deciding which materials will be utilized for a certain application.

 OUTPUTS OF THE MICRO PROJECT

 APPLICATION OF THE MICRO PROJECT

Considering the mechanical and physical properties of metals helps to choose the ideal
alloy for a given application. Because of the sheer number of materials available – and
the ability to modify properties through alloying and heat treatment – it is important to
consult with a metallurgist to select the material that provides the needed performance
balanced with cost. We can help determine the right balance to achieve all necessary
physical property and mechanical property requirements for any project. Contact us to
learn more about Metal Tek’s integrated alloy and manufacturing process expertise.
