Why Materials are Important in Manufacturing


Manufacturing is a transformation process It is the material that is transformed And it is the behavior of the material when subjected to the forces, temperatures, and other parameters of the process that determines the success of the operation

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Atomic Structure and the Elements


The basic structural unit of matter is the atom
Each atom is composed of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by a sufficient number of negatively charged electrons so the charges are balanced More than 100 elements, and they are the chemical building blocks of all matter

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Element Groupings
The elements can be grouped into families and relationships established between and within the families by means of the Periodic Table Metals occupy the left and center portions of the table Nonmetals are on right Between them is a transition zone containing metalloids or semi-metals

Bonding between Atoms and Molecules


Atoms are held together in molecules by various types of bonds 1. Primary bonds - generally associated with formation of molecules 2. Secondary bonds - generally associated with attraction between molecules
Primary bonds are much stronger than secondary bonds

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Primary Bonds
Characterized by strong atom-to-atom attractions that involve exchange of valence electrons
Following forms: Ionic Covalent Metallic

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Ionic Bonding
Atoms of one element give up their outer electron(s), which are in turn attracted to atoms of some other element to increase electron count in the outermost shell to eight

Figure 2.4 - Three forms of primary bonding: (a) ionic

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Covalent Bonding
Electrons are shared (as opposed to transferred) between atoms in their outermost shells to achieve a stable set of eight

Figure 2.4 - Primary bonding: (b) covalent

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Metallic Bonding
Sharing of outer shell electrons by all atoms to form a general electron cloud that permeates the entire block

Figure 2.4 - Primary bonding: (c) metallic

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Secondary Bonds
Whereas primary bonds involve atom-to-atom attractive forces, secondary bonds involve attraction forces between molecules No transfer or sharing of electrons in secondary bonding, and bonds are weaker than primary bonds Three forms: 1. Dipole forces 2. London forces 3. Hydrogen bonding

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Dipole Forces
Arise in a molecule comprised of two atoms with equal and opposite electrical charges

Each molecule therefore forms a dipole that attracts other molecules

Figure 2.6 - Types of secondary bonding: (a) dipole forces


2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

London Forces
Attractive force between nonpolar molecules, i.e., atoms in molecule do not form dipoles

However, due to rapid motion of electrons in orbit, temporary dipoles form when more electrons are on one side

Figure 2.6 - Secondary bonding: (b) London forces


2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Hydrogen Bonding
Occurs in molecules containing hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to another atom (e.g., H2O)

Since electrons to complete shell of hydrogen atom are aligned on one side of nucleus, opposite side has a net positive charge that attracts electrons in other molecules

Figure 2.6 Secondary bonding: (c) hydrogen bonding

Macroscopic Structures of Matter


Atoms and molecules are the building blocks of more macroscopic structure of matter
When materials solidify from the molten state, they tend to close ranks and pack tightly, arranging themselves into one of two structures: Crystalline Noncrystalline

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Crystalline Structure
Structure in which the atoms are located at regular and recurring positions in three dimensions Unit cell - basic geometric grouping of atoms that is repeated The pattern may be replicated millions of times within a given crystal Characteristic structure of virtually all metals, as well as many ceramics and some polymers

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Imperfections (Defects) in Crystals


Imperfections often arise due to inability of solidifying material to continue replication of unit cell, e.g., grain boundaries in metals
Imperfections can also be introduced purposely; e.g., addition of alloying ingredient in metal Types of defects: 1. Point defects

2. Line defects
3. Surface defects
2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Point Defects
Imperfections in crystal structure involving either a single atom or a few number of atoms

Figure 2.9 - Point defects: (a) vacancy, (b) ion-pair vacancy, (c) interstitialcy, (d) displaced ion (Frenkel Defect)
2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Line Defects
Connected group of point defects that forms a line in the lattice structure
Most important line defect is a dislocation, which can take two forms: Edge dislocation Screw dislocation

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Edge Dislocation
Edge of an extra plane of atoms that exists in the lattice

Figure 2.10 - Line defects: (a) edge dislocation

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Screw Dislocation
Spiral within the lattice structure wrapped around an imperfection line, like a screw is wrapped around its axis

Figure 2.10 - Line defects: (b) screw dislocation

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Surface Defects
Imperfections that extend in two directions to form a boundary
Examples: External: the surface of a crystalline object is an interruption in the lattice structure Internal: grain boundaries are internal surface interruptions

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Elastic Strain
When a crystal experiences a gradually increasing stress, it first deforms elastically If force is removed lattice structure returns to its original shape
Figure 2.11 Deformation of a crystal structure: (a) original lattice: (b) elastic deformation, with no permanent change in positions of atoms

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Plastic Strain
If stress is higher than forces holding atoms in their lattice positions, a permanent shape change occurs

Atoms have permanently moved from their previous locations, and a new equilibrium lattice is formed
Figure 2.11 Deformation of a crystal structure: (c) plastic deformation (slip), in which atoms in the lattice are forced to move to new "homes"

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Figure 2.12 - Effect of dislocations in the lattice structure under stress In the series of diagrams, the movement of the dislocation allows deformation to occur under a lower stress than in a perfect lattice

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Slip on a Macroscopic Scale


Slip occurs many times over throughout the metal when subjected to a deforming load, thus causing it to exhibit its macroscopic behavior in the stress-strain relationship Dislocations are a good-news-bad-news situation Good news in manufacturing the metal is easier to form Bad news in design the metal is not as strong as the designer would like

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Twinning
A second mechanism of plastic deformation in which atoms on one side of a plane (called the twinning plane) are shifted to form a mirror image of the other side

Figure 2.13 - Twinning, involving the formation of an atomic mirror image (i.e., a "twin") on the opposite side of the twinning plane: (a) before, and (b) after twinning

The Polycrystalline Nature of Metals


A block of metal may contain millions of individual crystals, called grains
Such a structure is called polycrystalline Each grain has its own unique lattice orientation; but collectively, the grains are randomly oriented in the block

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Grains and Grain Boundaries in Metals


How do polycrystalline structures form? As a block (of metal) cools from the molten state and begins to solidify, individual crystals nucleate at random positions and orientations throughout the liquid These crystals grow and finally interfere with each other, forming at their interface a surface defect - a grain boundary Grain boundaries are transition zones, perhaps only a few atoms thick
2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Noncrystalline (Amorphous) Structures


Many materials are noncrystalline
Water and air have noncrystalline structures A metal loses its crystalline structure when melted

Important engineering materials have noncrystalline forms in their solid state


Glass

Many plastics
Rubber
2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Features of Noncrystalline (Amorphous) Structures


Two features differentiate noncrystalline from crystalline materials: 1. Absence of long-range order in molecular structure 2. Differences in melting and thermal expansion characteristics

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Figure 2.14 - Illustration of difference in structure between: (a) crystalline and (b) noncrystalline materials. The crystal structure is regular, repeating, and denser; while the noncrystalline structure is more loosely packed and random

Characteristics of Metals
Crystalline structures in the solid state, almost without exception
BCC, FCC, or HCP unit cells Atoms held together by metallic bonding Properties: high strength and hardness, high electrical and thermal conductivity FCC metals are generally ductile

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Characteristics of Ceramics
Most ceramics have crystal structure, while glass (SiO2) is amorphous
Molecules characterized by ionic or covalent bonding, or both Properties: high hardness and stiffness, electrically insulating, refractory, and chemically inert

2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M. P. Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 2/e

Characteristics of Polymers
Many repeating mers in molecule held together by covalent bonding
Polymers usually carbon plus one or more other elements: H, N, O, and Cl Amorphous (glassy) structure or mixture of amorphous and crystalline Properties: low density, high electrical resistivity, and low thermal conductivity, strength and stiffness vary widely
