What this Course Covers
This unit covers the application of materials for a specific
purpose in electrotechnology. It encompasses working safely,
knowledge of materials science including classifications,
characteristics and any impact a material may have on health
and the environment, the processes of corrosion and
degradation, how particular materials are used, solving
electrotechnology problems involving of materials for a
particular application and documenting justification for such
solutions.

Introduction

What is Material Science & Engineering???

Materials Science = Involves in investigating the relationship that
exist between structures & properties.

Materials Engineering = designing & engineering the structures of a
materials & or develop techniques for processing
materials.







Materials Scientist
develop and synthesis new materials.

Materials Engineer
create new products or systems using existing materials and or
develop techniques for processing materials.

PROPERTY

Material traits expressed in terms of the measured response
to a specific imposed stimulus. Generally, property is made
of material shape and size.


6 DIFFERENT PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION OF
MATERIALS

1 Mechanical Property
2 Electrical Property
3 Thermal Property
4 Magnetic Property
5 Optical Property
6 Deteriorative Property


MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Relates to deformation to an applied load or force.

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
Electrical conductivity and dielectric constant

THERMAL PROPERTIES
Heat capacity and thermal conductivity

MAGNETIC PROPERTIES
Demonstrate the response of a material to the application of a
magnetic field


OPTICAL PROPERTIES
Stimulus is electromagnetic or light radiation; index of refraction
and reflectivity are representative optical properties.

DETERIORATIVE PROPERTIES
Refers to chemical reaction of materials
