    Engineering materials

    Hi all.
    I am new here. Great site!!
    I am a first year engineering student currently studying engineering materials. The aim of the subject at this stage is "to aquire a broad knoledge of engineering materials, their properties and uses ". I have found a fair amount of info on the composition of metals and alloys, but I cant find much at all on properties and uses.

    If anyone can help out with some text or web sites on this it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Mick

    one advise I would have is to go to your local metal supplier/distributor, see what they sell. most of the time when I design stuff, what's available and cost has a huge impact on the design.

    Sometimes an engineering handbook like Marks Mechanical Handbook will give a few suggestions.

    American Society for Metals; Volume #1, Properties and Selection: Iron and Steels.

    I'm looking at mine right now, it's the ninth edition. Newer editions may be different. I think it's American Society of Materials now, I bought them when I was in school a couple hundred years ago.

    Good luck, you would be suprised at how little engineers know about material science nowadays. Of course I worked at 5 foundries and as many machine shops so I've been focused on metals my whole life. I've poured metal, cut it straightened it, heat treated it, you name it. I worked plastics one year, I couldn't wait to get out.

    ASM is a great society. I'll bet you can pick up older editions of their handbooks at half.com for really cheap.
    Still working in the "D".

    ASM is general standard for Materials Science and you will be reading all 23 volumes sooner or later, especially during independent research.

    Besides that, read up on applications of thermodynamics and supramolecular dynamics,if and when applicable. NNI (National Nanotechnology Institute) has a few good publications, and I liked reading NASA's thermodynamics publications, personally. But it may be dry.

    These nanotechnologies are really interesting topic. You can find more good resources here (for e.g. graphene):

    Nanotechnologies are interesting yet they are not so easily explained. But it is not the case on the resource I posted above.
