16. Types of Materials • Metals: • Strong, ductile • High thermal & electrical conductivity • Opaque, reflective. • Polymers/plastics: Covalent bonding  sharing of e’s • Soft, ductile, low strength, low density • Thermal & electrical insulators • Optically translucent or transparent. • Ceramics: ionic bonding (refractory) – compounds of metallic & non-metallic elements (oxides, carbides, nitrides, sulfides) • Brittle, glassy, elastic • Non-conducting (insulators)

17. The Materials Selection Process 1. Pick Application Determine required Properties Properties: mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, optical, deteriorative. 2. Properties Identify candidate Material(s) Material: structure, composition. 3. Material Identify required Processing Processing: changes structure and overall shape ex: casting, sintering, vapor deposition, doping forming, joining, annealing.
