Engineering Materials & Selection

This document discusses materials properties and materials selection for engineering. It describes how materials scientists and engineers design materials by controlling processing/composition and structure/microstructure to achieve desired properties and performance. Key factors like properties, performance, processing and structure/microstructure are interrelated in a materials design approach. Examples discussed include the thermal protection system used for the Space Shuttle, which used reinforced carbon-carbon, silica tiles and nylon felt coatings suitable for withstanding re-entry temperatures, as well as aluminum oxide and saffil ceramic fibers that have different optical properties due to variations in processing and structure. The document stresses that the goals for materials scientists and engineers are to improve existing materials and discover new materials, devices and applications
