Terminology
• Synthesis is the process by which materials are made from naturally occurring
or other chemicals.
• Processing means different ways for shaping materials into useful components
or changing their properties.

application of materials tetrahedron to automotive steel chassis
A:Performance /
Cost
B: Properties
• What is the strength-to-density ratio?
• What is the formability?
• How does this relate to the
crashworthiness of the vehicle?
amorphous
crystalline
rolling
extrusion
During rolling and extrusion, the grains of During casting, the liquid metal cools from
material are deformed and become elongated three directions and grains of uniform shape
along the rolling direction, which imparts are created, which imparts non-directional or
directional properties to the material. isotropic properties to the material.

PROPERTIES FROM BONDING
❑ When a silicon rod is bent, the bonds must break if the silicon
atoms are to permanently change their relationships to one another.
