BASICS MATERIAL ENGINEERING:

INTRODUCTION:

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.

CONCEPT OF MATERIAL ENGINEERING:

Sometimes referred to as materials science or materials technology, materials engineering is concerned with investigating the properties of existing materials and substances in order to create new materials and items with enhanced chemical and physical properties.

FOUR COMPONENTS OF MATERIAL ENGINEERING :

Thus modern materials engineering involves exploitation of relationships among the four basic elements of the field—structure and composition, properties, synthesis and processing, and performance (i.e., the elements shown schematically in Figure), basic science, and industrial and broader societal needs

PROPERTIES OF MATERIAL:

The material properties are size, shape, density of the particles, and their intrinsic mechanical properties (Young's modulus, yield stress, fracture toughness, etc.

MATERIAL ENGINEER IMPORTANT:

Materials engineering shows us how to apply knowledge to make better things and to make things better. Materials science and engineering drives innovation in both research and industry in everything from aerospace to medicine.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING A MATERIAL ENGINEER:

Material engineers work to develop innovative materials and products that work better, are easy to use and use fewer resources to produce and sustain. They use current technological methods to create materials for unique use cases across many industries.
