DESCRIBA QUE SON LOS MATERIALES

When we talk about materials we can refer to those elements that are used to make an object.
For example, a carpenter uses wood as a material to make a chair and a bricklayer uses cement
and bricks to build a house. In turn, we say that materials can be resources that are used to
achieve something, such as a teaching material that serves to help a student learn. When you
want to talk about something corporeal, that is, something that has matter, such as a pencil or
a house, to differentiate it from what we cannot see (something abstract), as would be the
case of the personality of an individual, reason or the feelings. Another meaning for this term
is the one that refers to what an artist or a writer produces. To make it clearer, we give
anexample: "The latest material produced by that singer is very good.

DESCRIBA CLASES DE MATERIALES QUE SE USAN EN FABRICACIÓN DE AUTOMÓVILES:

STEEL

No surprise here. Steel is the main material in many major car components. From the engine
block to the chassis as well as body sheet metal, hinges, bolts, screws, and rivets, you’ll find
steel from one end of a car to the other. It’s a low-cost, easily sourced material that’s used for
strength and holding its shape well.

ALUMINIUM

Today’s cars use aluminium more than in the past. You’ll find aluminium in body panels for
some modern cars, radio chassis, many wheels, window regulators, and much more. Engine
components may be aluminium as well because it’s lightweight and can disperse heat very
well.

RUBBER

Besides the obvious use in tyres, rubber is found in other parts of a car. Engine belts, for
example, are made of reinforced natural and synthetic rubber, as are cooling system hoses.
Rubber is also used for wiper blades, gaskets and seals, and engine mounts.

GLASS

Naturally, car windows and windscreens are made of tempered glass. It’s not the only use,
though, in the automotive industry. Some radio displays, headlight and indicator bulbs, side
and rear-view mirrors, and even headlamp assemblies can use glass.

COPPER

The miles and miles of wire strung through a car are virtually all copper core. It’s an extremely
efficient conductor of electricity. There are also copper coils in the alternator and starter
motor, as well as in many electronic control modules and switches.

COTTON

You might be surprised to hear that cotton isn’t commonly used in upholstery. It is, however,
used in several other places. Belts and hoses are reinforced with strands of cotton, and tyres
can also have cotton strands for strength and to hold shape.
SILICON

Silicon, not silicone. For the dozens of computer modules in a car today, the processor chips
use this natural material because of its amazing use as a semi-conductive element. There
might not be much of it in a car by weight, but it’s mighty important.

GOLD

Yes, there is a small amount of gold in your car. Electronics and computer connectors often use
gold plating to aid in making a Good connection. It’s not worth trying to melt your car down for
it – it’s probably less than a gram ortwo.

PLATINUM

Another precious metal in your car! Platinum is one of the catalyst materials in the catalytic
converter.On average, a catalytic converter holds about 3 to 7 grams of platinum.

PLASTICS

Bumper covers, dashboards, steering wheels, gearshift consoles, body mouldings, wiring loom,
radio faces, and instrument clusters all use plastic in various forms. But it doesn’t stop there.
Car upholstery from carpets and door panels to car seats are manufactured with materials
made from plastic strands.

LEAD

No lead-based paint was used to make your car. It is, however, used for wheel balancing
weights as well as in car batteries.

LEATHER

It’s not just for luxury cars. Leather is used to wrap dash panels, gearshift knobs, steering
wheels, and yes, leather-upholstered seats too.
