Types of Materials

Metallic Materials

 Composed of one or more metallic elements.

 Metallic element may combine with nonmetallic elements.
 React with chemicals in the environment
 Inorganic and have crystalline structure.
 Formed and machined easily
 Good thermal and electric conductors.
 Two types: Ferrous and Nonferrous

Types of Materials

• Ceramic Materials

 Metallic and nonmetallic elements that are chemically

bonded together.
 Stronger than metals
 High hardness, strength and wear resistance.
 Very good insulators.
 High-resistance to environmental effects
 Crystalline, noncrystalline or mixture of both

Types of Materials
• Polymeric (Plastic) Materials

 Organic molecules
 Strength and ductility vary greatly.
 Lightweight and inexpensive
 Resistant to the environmental effects
 Mostly noncrystalline.
 Types: thermosets and thermoplastics.

Types of Materials

• Composite Materials
 Consists of a filler material and a binding material.
 Materials do not dissolve in each other.
 High degree of improvement in properties
 Major types
o Fibrous: Fibers in a matrix
o Particulate: Particles in a matrix

• Electronic Materials
 Not Major by volume but very important.
 Silicon
