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.

The densities of common engineering materials are listed in Table 5.1 and shown in Fig. 5.12. These reflect the mass and diameter of the atoms that make them up and the efficiency with which they are packed to fill space. Metals, most of them, have high densities because the atoms are heavy and closely packed. Polymers are much less dense because the atoms of which they are made (C, H, O) are light, and because they generally adopt structures which are not close-packed. Ceramics - even the ones in which atoms are packed closely - are, on average, a little less dense then metals because most of them contain light atoms like O, N and C. Composites have densities which are simply an average of the materials of which they are made.

This book has been written as a second-level course for engineering students. It provides a concise introduction to the microstructures and processing of materials (metals, ceramics, polymers and composites) and shows how these are related to the properties required in engineering design. It is designed to follow on from our first-level text on the properties and applications of engineering materials," but it is completely self-contained and can be used by itself.

Composite materials have many mechanical behavior characteristics that are different from those of more conventional engineering materials. Some characteristics are merely modifications of conventional behavior others are totally new and require new analytical and experimental procedures.

Potential advantages of both thermoplastics and cellu-losic materials combined with the economic and environmental viewpoint have lead to a promising utilization of both these materials in various forms of composites. Although various branches of cellulosic-thermoplastic composites industries are booming in recent years, their growth rate is very slow. In order to achieve the full potential of such valuable materials as various engineering materials and commodity products more incentives from academic, industrial, and governmental authorities are needed. 

With plastics to a greater extent than other materials, an opportunity exists to optimize product design by focusing on material composition and orientation to structural member geometry when required. The type of designer to produce a product depends on the product requirements. As an example in most cases an engineering designer is not needed...

The CRC-Elsevier materials selector , 2nd edition, N.A. Waterman, and M.E Ashby CRC Press (1996) ISBN 0412615509. (Now, also available on CD-ROM). Basic reference work. Three-volume compilation of data for all materials includes selection and design guide. The Materials Selector is the most comprehensive and up-to-date comparative information system on engineering materials and related methods of component manufacture. It contains information on the properties, performance and processability of metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, surface treatments and the characteristics and comparative economics of the manufacturing routes which convert these materials into engineering components and products. 

Details of the chemical composition and properties of the wide range of plastics used as engineering material can be found in the books by Butt and Wright (1980) and Evans (1974). 

The thermal conductivity of a solid is determined by its form and structure, as well as composition. Values for the commonly used engineering materials are given in various handbooks.
