Materials Science and Engineering

Materials science and engineering is the study and manipulation of the composition and structure of materials. It examines how processing affects structure, and how structure influences properties and performance. The four main material classes are metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Metals are strong, ductile, and conduct heat and electricity well. Ceramics are stiff but brittle with high melting points. Polymers are light, flexible and resist corrosion but conduct electricity poorly. Composites combine materials to produce properties greater than their parts. Understanding the relationship between structure, properties, and performance is key in materials science and engineering.

MATERIALS SCIENCE AND

ENGINEERING
INTRODUCTION
What is Materials Science and
Engineering?
• It is a field of science and engineering
that studies and manipulates the
composition and structures of materials
What is Materials Science and
Engineering?
• It is a field of science and engineering that
studies and manipulates the composition
and structure-property of materials

Composition – chemical make-up of a material


Structures – arrangement of internal
components
Property – materials quality in terms of
magnitude
Structure
• Arrangement of the material’s internal
component
• Includes group of atom or molecules
relative to one another
• Microscopic
• Macroscopic
Property
• Material quality in terms of the kind and
magnitude with response to specific
imposed stimulus
• Independent to material shape and sizes
• Mechanical, electrical, thermal,
magnetic, optical and deteriorative
What is Materials Science and
Engineering?
• It also deals with the performance and
processing of materials and
manufacturing processes related to the
production of components
The discipline of Material Science
and Engineering

Why study Materials Science and
Engineering?
• Characterized all the in-service
conditions of a material
• Determine the deterioration of
material properties the may occur
during service operation
• Economic consideration
