Properties of Materials
• Mechanical properties: strength, toughness, ductility,
hardness, elasticity, fatigue, and creep
• Physical properties: density, thermal expansion,
conductivity, specific heat, melting point, and
electrical and magnetic properties
• Chemical properties: oxidation, corrosion, toxicity,
and flammability
• Manufacturing properties: castability, formability,
machinability, weldability, and hardenability by heat
treatment.

Key Relationships
• PropertiesMicrostructure Processing
• Microstructure : Structure as observed under the
optical microscope. Magnification by about 1500
times.
• Substructure: Structure observed under electron
microscope . Magnification upto 1,00,000 is
possible.
• Crystal structure : tells us the details of the atomic
arrangement within the crystal.
WHAT IS MANUFACTURING?
Design Issues
• Designer must consider:
– What processes are available/relevant for the
product?
– What tolerances can be achieved, and are these
sufficient?
– Are there any design features that need to be
incorporated (eg webbing, round edges, etc)?
– Can the expected production rate be met?
– How will the product be assembled?
Design Steps
Concurrent engineering or
simultaneous engineering
Summary
• Interrelationship between processing,
microstructure, properties and performance with
example have been illustrated
• Design steps and issues have been discussed
• Significance of materials and manufacturing
used in critical engineering environment have
been emphasized
