Solutions for Materials, Engineering, Processing and Design THIRD EDITION NORTH AMERICAN Materials EDITION ENGINEERING, SCIENCE, PROCESSING AND DESIGN Michael Ashby, Hugh Shercliff and David Cebon Materials: engineering, science, properties, and design 3e Solution manual Chapter 1: Exercises with worked solutions Exercise E1.1 Use a search engine such as Google to research the history and uses of one of the following materials: . Tin . Glass . Cement . Titanium . Carbon fiber Present the result as a short report of about 100 - 200 words (roughly half a page). Specimen answer: Tin. Tin (symbol Sn), a silver-white metal, has a long history. It was traded in the civilizations of the Mediterranean as early as 1500 BC (the Old Testament of the Christian bible contains many references to it). Its importance at that time lay in its ability to harden copper to give bronze (copper containing about 10% tin), the key material for weapons, tools and statuary of the Bronze age (1500 BC – 500 BC). Today tin is still used to make bronze, for solders and as a corrosion resistant coating on steel sheet (“tin plate” ) for food and drink containers – a “tinnie”, to an Australian, is a can of beer. Plate glass is made by floating molten glass on a bed of liquid tin (the Pilkington process). Thin deposits of tin compounds on glass give transparent, electrically conducting coatings used for frost-free windshields and for panel lighting. Exercise E1.2 What is meant by the design-limiting properties of a material in a given application? Answer. A design-limiting property in a given application is one that limits the performance of the application. To meet a required level of performance, the design-limiting properties must meet or exceed target values. Exercise E1.3 There have been many attempts to manufacture and market plastic bicycles. All have been too flexible. Which design-limiting property is insufficiently large? Answer. Flexibility is lack of stiffness. The stiffness of a structure depends on its shape and size, and on the value of Young’s modulus E of the material of which it is made. In design for stiffness E is a design-limiting property. In bicycle design the values of E offered by plastics are insufficiently large. However if the plastic is reinforced with carbon or glass fiber the stiffness can be increased to a useful level – high performance bicycles are made of carbon-reinforced plastic. Exercise E1.4 What, in your judgment, are the design-limiting properties for the material for the blade of a knife that will be used to gut fish? Answer. Hardness (to give a wear resistant, sharp edge); ability to be shaped to a blade; resistance to corrosion in fresh and salt water; stiffness (meaning modulus) to ensure that the thin blade does not bend or buckle during use. Exercise E1.5 What, in your judgment, are the design-limiting properties for the material of an oven glove? Answer. Flexibility (to allow weaving or shaping, and motion in use); low thermal conductivity (to insulate); maximum operating temperature > 200C (high oven setting); and ability to be washed, meaning tolerance of water. Exercise E1.6 What, in your judgment, are the design-limiting properties for the material of an electric lamp filament? Answer. The filament must be a good electrical conductor; maximum operating temperature > 2000oC (or a temperature of that order); ductility to enable it to be drawn to fine wire. Exercise E1.7 A material is needed for a tube to carry fuel from the fuel tank to the carburetor of a motor- powered mower. The design requires that the tube be flexible, and that the fuel be visible. List what you think would be the design-limiting properties. Answer. Flexible (meaning low modulus E ); transparency (to allow fuel to be visible); very good resistance to organic solvents (gasoline and oil); ability to be formed into tube. Exercise E1.8 A material is required as the magnet for a magnetic soap holder. Soap is mildly alkaline. List what you would judge to be the design-limiting properties. Answer. Ferromagnetic; very good resistance to fresh water and mild alkali. Exercise E1.9 The cases in which most CDs are sold have an irritating way of cracking and breaking. Which design-limiting property has been neglected in selecting the material of which they are made? Answer. Fracture toughness Exercise E1.10 List three applications that, in your judgment, need high stiffness and low weight. Think of things that must be light (as they are moved, perhaps rapidly) but must not be too 'bendy'. Possible answers. Racing bicycle frames; aircraft wing spars; car wheels; sports equipment; precision machine tools; radio-telescope dishes; high-speed printing presses. Exercise E1.11 List three applications that, in your judgment, need optical quality glass. Think of products that rely on distortion-free imaging. Possible answers. Binoculars; cameras; contact lenses; microscopes; telescopes; fiber-optic cables. Exercise E1.12 List three applications that you think would require high thermal conductivity. Think of things that you have to get heat into or out of. Possible answers. Cooking utensils; heat exchangers (car radiators, air-conditioning units); heat sinks (like those that conduct the heat from the processor in your PC); thermal sensors and thermally activated safety equipment. Exercise E1.13 List three applications that you think would require low thermal expansion. Think of things that you that will lose accuracy or won’t work if they distort. Possible answers. Optical benches; precision watches; gyroscopes such as those in inertial guidance systems; precision equipment generally. Materials: engineering, science, properties, and design 3e Solution manual Chapter 2. Exercises with worked solutions Exercise E2.1 Material properties from experience. List the six main classes of engineering materials. Use your own experience to rank them approximately: (a) by stiffness (modulus, E ). A sheet of a material that has a high modulus is hard to bend when in the form of sheet. A sheet of material with a low modulus is floppy. (b) by thermal conductivity ( ). Materials with high conductivity feel cold when you pick them up on a cold day. Materials with low conductivity may not feel warm, but they don’t freeze your hands. Answer. The main classes of engineering materials are ceramics, glasses, metals, polymers, elastomers and hybrids that include composites, foams and natural materials. (a) Metals, ceramics and glasses and composites are stiff; polymers, elastomers and foams are less stiff. (b) Metals are cold to touch - they conduct heat well; polymers, many hybrids (like wood and foams) have low thermal conductivity. Exercise E2.2 Classification (1). A good classification looks simple – think, for instance, of the periodic table of the elements. Creating it in the first place, however, is another matter. This chapter introduced two classification schemes that work, meaning that every member of the scheme has a unique place in it, and any new member can be inserted into its proper position without disrupting the whole. Try one for yourself. Here are some scenarios. Make sure that each level of the hierarchy properly contains all those below it. There may be more than one way to do this, but one is usually better than the others. Test it by thinking how you would use it to find the information you want. How many different ways can two sheets of paper be attached to each other, temporarily or permanently? Classify these, using ‘Mechanism of joining’ as the top level of the classification. Then try to develop the next level, based on your observations of the ways in which sheets of paper are joined. Possible answer Adhesives Water based Solvent based Staples Steel Brass Paper clips Metal Plastic Sewing Natural fibers Man-made fibers Exercise E2.3 Classification (2). In how many ways can wood be treated to change its surface appearance? Classify these, using the generic finishing technique as the top level of the classification. Then try to develop the next level, based on your observations of the ways in which wood products are finished. Possible answer Varnish Clear Tinted Paint Water-based Solvent based Polish Wax Spray Dye, stain Natural, Synthetic Texture Sanded, sand-blasted Weathered. Exercise E2.4 Classification (3). You run a bike shop that stocks bikes of many types (children’s bikes, street bikes, mountain bikes, racing bikes, folding bikes etc), prices and sizes. You need a classification system to allow customers to look up your bikes on the internet. How would you do it? Possible answer. Bicycles Racing Steel 24 inch Alloy 26 inch 28 inch Titanium Carbon fiber Mountain Street Folding Children’s etc Exercise E2.5 Classification (4). You are asked to organize the inventory of fasteners in your company. There are several types (snap, screw, bolt, rivet) and within each, a range of materials and sizes. Devise a classification scheme to store information about them. Possible answer Fasteners Bolts Steel 4 mm Stainless 5 mm 6 mm etc Brass High tensile Rivets Screws Snap etc Exercise E2.6 Shaping. What is meant by a shaping process? Look around you and ask yourself how the things you see were shaped. Answer. A shaping process takes a raw material and gives it shape (eg casting or molding), or modifies the shape of an already shaped component (eg machining or grinding). Exercise E2.7 Joining. Almost all products involve several parts that are joined. Examine products immediately around you and list the joining methods used to assemble them. Answer. Find examples of joining by: adhesives, fasteners, snap-fits and welding. Exercise E2.8 Surface treatment. How many different surface treatment processes can you think of, based on your own experience? List them and annotate the list with the materials to which they are typically applied.

  • Solidification of Immiscible Alloys Under High Magnetic Field
    metals Review Solidification of Immiscible Alloys under High Magnetic Field: A Review Chen Wei 1, Jun Wang 1,*, Yixuan He 1, Jinshan Li 1,* and Eric Beaugnon 2 1 State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an 710072, China; [email protected] (C.W.); [email protected] (Y.H.) 2 INSA Toulouse, University Grenoble Alpes, University Toulouse Paul Sabatier, EMFL, CNRS, LNCMI, 38000 Grenoble, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (J.W.); [email protected] (J.L.) Abstract: Immiscible alloy is a kind of functional metal material with broad application prospects in industry and electronic fields, which has aroused extensive attention in recent decades. In the solidification process of metallic material processing, various attractive phenomena can be realized by applying a high magnetic field (HMF), including the nucleation and growth of alloys and mi- crostructure evolution, etc. The selectivity provided by Lorentz force, thermoelectric magnetic force, and magnetic force or a combination of magnetic field effects can effectively control the solidification process of the melt. Recent advances in the understanding of the development of immiscible alloys in the solidification microstructure induced by HMF are reviewed. In this review, the immiscible alloy systems are introduced and inspected, with the main focus on the relationship between the migration behavior of the phase and evolution of the solidification microstructure under HMF. Special attention is paid to the mechanism of microstructure evolution caused by the magnetic field and its influence on performance. The ability of HMF to overcome microstructural heterogeneity in the solidification Citation: Wei, C.; Wang, J.; He, Y.; Li, process provides freedom to design and modify new functional immiscible materials with desired J.; Beaugnon, E.

  • Ferrous Friction Stir Weld Physical Simulation A
    FERROUS FRICTION STIR WELD PHYSICAL SIMULATION A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Seth Jason Norton, M.S. ******** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John Lippold, Adviser Dr. David Dickinson Adviser Dr. Charles Albright Welding Engineering Graduate Program ii ABSTRACT Traditional fusion welding processes have several drawbacks associated with the melting and solidification of metal. Weld defects associated with the solidification of molten metal may act as initiation sites for cracks. Segregation of alloying elements during solidification may cause local changes in resistance to corrosion. The high amount of heat required to produce the molten metal in the weld can produce distortion from the intended position on cooling. The heat from the electric arc commonly used to melt metal in fusion welds may also produce metal fumes which are a potential health hazard. Friction stir welding is one application which has the potential to make full thickness welds in a single pass, while eliminating fume, reducing distortion, and eliminating solidification defects. Currently the friction stir welding process is used in the aerospace industry on aluminum alloys. Interest in the process by industries which rely on iron and its alloys for structural material is increasing. While friction stir welding has been shown to be feasible with iron alloys, the understanding of friction stir welding process effects on these materials is in its infancy. This project was aimed to better that understanding by developing a procedure for physical simulation of friction stir welding.

  • Titanium, Aluminum Or Steel?
    Titanium, Aluminum or Steel? Thomas G Stoebe Professor Emeritus, University of Washington, Seattle, WA and National Resource Center for Materials Technology Education Edmonds Community College 20000 68 Ave West Lynnwood, WA 98036 425-890-4652; [email protected] Copyright Edmonds Community College 2008 Abstract: Testing of metals is usually undertaken with sophisticated instruments. However, you can demonstrate to your students the basic differences between certain classes of metals using the simple spark test, presented here. You can even have your students test their “titanium” sports equipment to see if it really titanium! In many cases, they will find that the name “titanium” is used for marketing but little will be found in the product. In the process, students see the visible result of the carbon content in steel, and the lack of carbon in other materials, plus realize the reactivity of titanium metal. Module Objective: This simple demonstration provides an introduction to materials and materials testing. Even though this technique is limited to certain metals, it helps the student understand that different materials are different, and that materials that look alike are not necessarily the same. It also provides an opportunity to describe ferrous and non-ferrous materials and their basic differences, and one effect of heating on these different materials. Titanium is sufficiently reactive in air that it gives off sparks even with no carbon present. Since so many products today indicate that they are made of titanium, this test also provides a simple means to test for titanium in a product. This demonstration can also be expanded into a lab experiment to identify unknown materials.
