Note: All the discussions, questions and key concepts will be


the part of your final exam

Recap
Shape factors (SF), significance of SF, derived SFs for
common loading conditions
Microscopic shape factors, derived SFs for common shapes
Combined Macro and microscopic shape factors
Graphical approach of solving problem: 4 Q approach,
limitations were also highlighted
Calculated Materials Indices that includes shape, this can be
used for any material selection problem that involves shape
as a variable

Material-Shape co-selection
The indices can be used to allow comparison and
selection of best material-shape combinations:
will seek maximum of Material indices
The co-selection of Material and Shape can be
carried by two ways:

1. Calculations
2. Graphical

Problem: By calculations
Your task would be is to select best material from the
choices given below in the table for a stiff beam of
minimum mass. Note that you have to propose your choice
for both when shape is variable and when it is not.

Fixed shape
Shape as a variable

Solve the same problem by graphical approach:


How to utilise shape factors in graphical
selection

Introduction of shape
has moved material
below the line to above
the line

The structured material behaves like a new material with a


modulus and a density, moving it from a position below the
broken selection line to one above.

A similar procedure can be adopted for other


cases e.g. Failure in bending

The material with strength and density, when shaped,


behaves in bending like a new material of strength and
density

Introduction to process selection

Processes
What is a process?
A process is a method of shaping, joining and finishing a
material
Examples of various processes
1) Sand casting
2) Injection molding
3) Fusion welding
4) Electro polishing

There can be hundreds other...............

Processes
It is important to choose the right process-route at an early
stage in the design before the cost-penalty of making
changes becomes large.
What could be the factors on which the choice of a process
for a given component depends?
1) Material
2) Shape
3) Size, required precision, quantity.......

Process
attributes

Each process is characterized by a set of attributes

Process selection means finding the best match between


process attributes and design requirements

Material-Process-Shape Interaction
Included process now
Processing selection
depends on material
and shape.
The process
attributes can be
used as criteria for
selection

Material properties, shape and


processes
Materials properties and shape limit the choice of process

How does a choice of material affects the process selection?


Example: Ductile materials vs. Brittle materials

How does a shape affects the process selection?


Example: Slender shape vs. Hollow shapes

How does the processing affects the materials properties


Example: Rolling, forging of metals

Process-property Interaction
Processing has dual functions
Soft, stretchy rubber becomes hard and
brittle when vulcanized
Annealing a metal increases its ductility
Glass becomes bullet-proof through a
specific heat treatment
Electroplating improves corrosion
resistance

It is imp to understand the relationship


between process and property

Effect of processing on properties

Strengthening
mechanisms and the
consequent drop in
ductility, here shown for
copper alloys. The
mechanisms are
frequently combined. The
greater the strength, the
lower the ductility.

Thermal conductivity and


strength for aluminum
alloys.

Copper cables

The best choice of material


for a cable is one with high
strength and low
resistivity, but
strengthening mechanisms
increase resistivity.
