★ Ferrous Metals
(irons, carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels,etc)
★ Non Ferrous Metals
(aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel, titanium, precious metals, refractory metals, super alloys)
𝟐- 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬
★ Defined as “an inorganic, nonmetallic solid that is prepared from powdered materials, is fabricated into products through the application of heat, and displays such characteristic properties as hardness strength, low electrical conductivity and brittleness.
★ Such as aluminum and oxygen (alumina-Al2O3), calcium and oxygen (calcia - CaO), and silicon and nitrogen (silicon nitride-Si3N4).
★ Ceramics' Properties:
- Brittle in nature. Ceramics can also be formed to serve as electrically conductive materials or insulators.
- Some ceramics, like superconductors, also display magnetic properties. They are also more resistant to high temperatures.
★ Examples: glass, cements, ceramics, energy conversion, petroleum, and chemicals industries)
𝟑- 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬
★ As Thermoplastics plastics, Thermoset plastics, Elastomers
★ A polymeric solid is a material that contains many chemically bonded parts or units which are bonded together to form a solid.
★ Plastics are a large and varied group of synthetic materials which are processed by forming or molding into shape.
★ Elastomers or rubbers can be elastically deformed a large amount when a force is applied to them and can return to their original shape (or almost) when the force is released.
★ Polymers distinct properties:
- Less dense than metals or ceramics.
- Resist atmospheric and other forms of corrosion.
- Offer excellent resistance to electrical current.
𝟒- 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬:
★ As Grain Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) or Fiber Glasses or Concrete.
★ Defined as a combination of two or more distinct materials, each of which retains its own distinctive properties, to create a new material with properties that cannot be achieved by any of the components acting alone.
★ Fiberglass sheet is a composite since it is made of glass fibers embedded in a polymer.
★ Composite materials are said to have two phases. The reinforcing phase is the fibers sheets or particles that are embedded in the matrix phase.
★ The reinforcing material and the matrix material can be metal, ceramic, or polymer. Typically, reinforcing materials are strong with low densities while the matrix is usually a ductile or tough material.
