Engineering Materials
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
This chapter on engineering materials is intentionally added to the text so as to expose the students to various materials employed in engineering applications. The properties, composition and uses of such materials will be discussed. Students will be able to learn about
Plain carbon steels, for 90 per cent engineering applications plain carbon steels are used
Alloy steels
Stainless steels
Effects of alloying elements on the properties of alloy steels
Special alloys such as Invar steel used in measuring instruments because of its negligible coefficient of thermal expansion
Alloys of aluminum, copper, magnesium, nickel and titanium
Alloys used in bearings
Plastics as thermosetting and thermoplastics ...
