The initial classification model of dispersion properties of engineering materials was obtained The algorithm of its creation includes ... 

The scheme of dispersion effects displayed in engineering materials of different structures was considered and an analysis of the causes of their occurrence was performed in our work. The spectrum of structural noise is considered as an element of unified spectral characteristics, reflected interaction of the ultrasonic field with given parameters and heterogeneous medium... 

The solution of this task results in the possibility to apply more efficient acoustic methods for investigation and diagnostics of engineering materials and weld condition. 

Although the processing time unit basically could be further improved table 1 gives some idears what the achieved results and axial resolution mean in several interesting applications and low center frequencies. With low frequencies a lot of attenuation problems available in new engineered materials could be solved.

Catalysis spans chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science and biology. The goal here is to enliven the subject with diverse examples showing the microscopic details of catalysis.

We noted above that the presence of monomer with a functionality greater than 2 results in branched polymer chains. This in turn produces a three-dimensional network of polymer under certain circumstances. The solubility and mechanical behavior of such materials depend critically on whether the extent of polymerization is above or below the threshold for the formation of this network. The threshold is described as the gel point, since the reaction mixture sets up or gels at this point. We have previously introduced the term thermosetting to describe these cross-linked polymeric materials. Because their mechanical properties are largely unaffected by temperature variations-in contrast to thermoplastic materials which become more fluid on heating-step-growth polymers that exceed the gel point are widely used as engineering materials. 

The search for substances which quahfy for proposed applications has always been a driving force for the synthesis and characterization of new compounds. This is especially true in polymer chemistry, where it is the potential of polymers as engineering materials that often stimulates research. Polymeric materials frequently fail to be serviceable in engineering applications for one of the following reasons ... 

A higher density sol—gel abrasive, produced by the introduction of seed crystaUites formed by wet-milling with high alumina media or by introduction of submicrometer a-alumina particles, was patented (28) and designated Norton SG. The microstmcture of this abrasive consists of submicrometer a-alumina crystals (Fig. 1) and its bulk density approaches that of fused alumina. Norton SG has proven to be an exceptional performer in coated and bonded abrasive products it was awarded the 1989 ASM Engineering Materials Achievement Award (29).

The great advantage of steel as an engineering material is its versatiUty. Properties can be controlled and changed by heat treatment. Thus, if steel is to be formed into some intricate shape, it can be made very soft and ductile by heat treatment on the other hand, alternative heat treatments can also impart high strength. 

The SiC whisker-reinforced alumina composite, a model for engineered materials, has opened new vistas for tool material development. Whereas SiC whisker-reinforced alumina is used extensively for the machining of nickel-base superaHoys, SiC whiskers react chemically with steel, causing rapid wear on the rake face. Attempts are underway to replace SiC whiskers with less reactive whiskers such as TiC or TiN. 

For many centuries the application of materials for low friction and wear in sliding and rolling contacts primarily involved wood, stone, leather, iron, and copper. Almost all engineering materials have since been employed at one time or another in the continuing search for the best bearing material. Final selection is commonly a judgment based on the most essential material properties, ease of appHcation, and cost.
