Mechanical Properties
Density: In applications where weight is a critical factor, such as aerospace or automotive industries, low-density materials like aluminum or certain plastics may be chosen to reduce overall weight.
Thermal Expansion: Materials expand or contract when exposed to temperature changes. In precision instruments or applications with tight tolerances, materials with low thermal expansion coefficients, such as certain ceramics or glass-reinforced plastics, may be preferred to ensure dimensional stability.
Corrosion Resistance: In environments where the material will be exposed to chemicals, moisture, or corrosive substances, it is essential to select a material with appropriate corrosion resistance. For example, stainless steels are commonly used in marine environments due to their excellent resistance to seawater corrosion.
Chemical Compatibility: When storing or handling specific chemicals, the material must be chemically compatible to avoid degradation or reactions. Plastics like PTFE (Teflon) are widely used in chemical processing equipment due to their excellent chemical resistance.
Machining Ease: Some materials are easier to machine than others. Aluminum, for instance, is relatively easy to machine compared to some high-strength steels. This can affect production costs and lead times.
Formability: The ability of a material to be formed into complex shapes is important in many manufacturing processes. Metals like aluminum and some stainless steels have good formability, while certain plastics can be easily molded or extruded into various shapes.
Material Cost: The cost of the raw material itself is a significant factor. Some materials, like titanium alloys, are much more expensive than others, such as carbon steel. The selection of the material should align with the budget and economic feasibility of the project.
Manufacturing Costs: Beyond the material cost, the manufacturing process can also add to the overall cost. Materials that require special processing or have high scrap rates can increase production expenses. It is essential to consider the total cost of the material from acquisition to finished product.
Material Selection Considerations
When selecting materials for specific applications, several factors need to be taken into account:
Strength and Toughness: Depending on the application, the material must have sufficient strength to withstand applied loads without failure. For example, in structural applications, high-strength steel or aluminum alloys may be required. In applications where impact resistance is crucial, materials like nylon or ABS may be preferred.
Hardness: The hardness of the material determines its resistance to wear and deformation. Hard materials like some stainless steels or certain plastics (e.g., polycarbonate) are suitable for applications involving friction and wear, such as gears or bearing surfaces.
