LESSON 1:
NATURE OF
MATERIALS
Engineering materials refers to the group of materials that are used
in the construction of manmade structures and components. The
primary function of an engineering material is to withstand applied
loading without breaking and without exhibiting excessive deflection.

include nylon, polyvinyl chloride (better known as
S1: E2 PVC) and many types of plastics. Natural polymers
include rubber, silk and cellulose

“Ceramics”

A ceramic is a material that is neither metallic nor

organic. It may be crystalline, glassy or both
crystalline and glassy. Ceramics are typically hard

and chemically non-reactive and can be formed or
densified with heat.

composition
The chemical composition of engineering
material indicates the elements which are
combined together to form that material.
Chemical composition of a material
effects the properties of engineering
materials very much. The strength,
hardness, ductility, brittleness, corrosion
resistance, weldability etc.

The chemical composition of engineering material
indicates the elements which are combined together
to form that material. Chemical composition of a
material effects the properties of engineering
materials very much. The strength, hardness,
ductility, brittleness, corrosion resistance, weldability
etc. depends on chemical composition of materials.
Hence, we should also have the knowledge of
chemical composition of engineering materials.
Typical Properties of Some Engineering Materials Examples
Chemical Bonding
Chemical Bonding refers to the formation
of a chemical bond between two or more “Covalent Bond”
atoms, molecules, or ions to give rise to a A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the
chemical compound. These chemical sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between
bonds are what keep the atoms together atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared
in the resulting compound. pairs or bonding pairs. The stable balance of
S1: E1
attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when
they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.
“Ionic Bond ”
Season 1 3 episodes Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that
involves the electrostatic attraction between
oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with
S1: E2 sharply different electronegativities, and is the
primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.

“Hydrogen Bond
In chemistry, a hydrogen bond is a primarily
electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen
atom which is covalently bound to a more

“Metallic Bond”
Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that
arises from the electrostatic attractive force between
conduction electrons and positively charged metal
ions. It may be described as the sharing of free
electrons among a structure of positively charged
ions
