Phase Transformation
Temperatures
Transitions from solid to liquid, fromliquid to vapor, from vapor to solidand visa versa
The phase transition temperature where a solidchanges to a liquid is called the melting point.
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of aliquid equals 1 atm (101.3 kPa) is called theboiling
point.
The temperature at which a solid, glassy materialbegins to soften and flow is called theglass
transition temperature.

Thermal conductivity () is the intrinsicproperty of a material which relates its
ability to conduct heat.
Thermal conductivity is defined as thequantity of heat (Q) transmitted through aunit thickness (L) in a direction normal to a
surface of unit area (A) due to a unittemperature gradient (T)under steady
state conditions
= Q L/ (A T)

The linear coefficient of thermalexpansion ( a) describes the relativechange in length of a material per degreetemperature change.
the ratio of change in length ( Dl) to the
total starting length (li) and change intemperature ( DT).

Electrical Conductivity andResistivity
Electrical conductivity is a measure of how well amaterial accommodates the movement of anelectric charge. It is the ratio of the current densityto the electric field strength.
Electrical resistivity is the reciprocal of conductivity.It is the is the opposition of a body or substance tothe flow of electrical current through it, resulting ina change of electrical energy into heat, light, orother forms of energy.

Strength or Loading
The strength of a material is the resistanceof a force to an object.
Five fundamental loading conditions;
Tension
Compression
Bending
Shearing
torsion

Tension
Tension is the type of loading in which the two sections of material on
plane tend to be pulled apart or elongated.

Bending
Loading by bending involves applying a load in a manner that causes a mcurve and results in compressing the material on one side and stretching
other.

Tensile Properties
Elastic limitis the greatest stress the materialcan withstand without any measurable
permanent strain remaining on the completerelease of load.
Yield strengthis the stress required to produce asmall-specified amount of plastic deformation.
Proportional limit is the highest stress at whichstress is linearly proportional to strain.
Ultimate tensile strength is an engineering valuecalculated by dividing the maximum load on amaterial experienced during a tensile test by theinitial cross section of the test sample.
True fracture strength is the load at fracturedivided by the cross sectional area of the sample.

deform before fracture.

The ability of a metal to deformplastically and to absorb energy in the
process before fracture.

Fatigue Properties
Fatigue cracking results from cyclic stresses that are below ttensile stress, or even the yield stress of the material.
The name fatigue is based on the concept that a material b
tired and fails at a stress level below the nominal strength material.

Hardness
Hardness is the resistance of a material to localized deformatterm can apply to deformation from indentation, scratching,bending. In metals, ceramics and most polymers, the deformconsidered is plastic deformation of the surface.

Elasticity & Plasticity
Elasticity is the property by which amaterial is enabled to return exactly toits original shape on removal of astraining force, a very importantproperty in materials.
Plasticity is the reverse of elasticity; aplastic material will retain exactly theshape it assumes under load when theload is removed.

Two Chemical
Processes of Corrosion
1) Oxidationis the process of strippingelectrons from an atom. The oxidationprocess takes place at an area known asthe anode.
2)Reductionoccurs when an electron isadded to an atom. reduction occurs whenan electron is added to an atom. At thecathode, the corresponding reductionreaction takes place and consumes the freeelectrons.
