Preface Selecting the most appropriate material of construction for an application involves the making of numerous important decisions. This is true whether it be for the construction of a bridge, a household appliance, a piece of hemical processing equipment, or the decorative facing of a building. Fac ors such as physical and mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, work ability, and cost must all be taken into consideration. With the introduction of new metallic alloys and advances in the pro- duction of the so-called exotic metals, what was the best choice several years ago may no longer be so. Over the years, improvements have been made to specific properties of various alloys. These improvements include methods to increase mechanical, physical, and corrosion resistance properties. Alter natives in composition have also been formulated to improve the workability In order to conduct a meaningful evaluation of a design all the data needed to select the most appropriate material must be available. It is the purpose of this book to supply as much of this information as possible for ommercially available metallic materials MARCEL DEKKER. INC 270 Madison Avenue. New York. New York 10016

1 1 Physical and Mechanical Properties I. INTRODUCTION Metals have been widely used for thousands of years, commencing with the Bronze Age which took place approximately 3000 to 100 years BC. The Iron Age, which we are experiencing today, presumably replaced the Bronze Age. Although we still use considerable amounts of bronze, our steel use is many times greater. Traditionally metals have been classified as ferrous and nonferrous. The ferrous category refers to base metals of iron, while the nonferrous metals are iron free. Ferrous alloys are used in quantities which exceed all other metals combined. At the present time there are available for use in excess of 45,000 different metallic alloys. Although the steels and cast irons make up the largest use on a weight basis, the number of different nonferrous alloys exceed the number of ferrous alloys. The primary nonferrous alloys are those in which the base metal consists of either aluminum, copper, nickel, magnesium, titanium, or zinc. The engineer or designer is faced with the problem of material selection for his or her project. A decision must be based on information that will permit selection of a material that will possess the necessary physical, mechanical, and corrosion resistance properties in addition to cost considerations. Cost is not only the raw material cost, but rather the finished manufactured cost in conjunction with estimated life of the finished product. The raw material with the lowest cost is not necessarily the most economical choice. Part of the selection process necessitates the examination of the phys-

Mechanical behavior deals with the reaction of the body to a load or force. Corrosion resistance must also be taken into account. This applies whether the exposure is to the natural at- mosphere, to a more aggressive atmosphere, or to physical contact with a corrodent.

Modulus of Elasticity The modulus of elasticity is a measure of a metals stiffness or rigidity, which is a ratio of stress to strain of a material in the elastic region. Figure 1. 1 illustrates how this property is determined; the slope of the line repre sents the elastic portion of the stress-strain graph (i.e, it is the stress re- quired to produce unit strain). It is a good indication of the atom bond trength in crystalline materials. The uniaxial modulus of elasticity is often referred to as Youngs modulus and is represented by E. Table 1. 1 lists the moduli of some common materials Since the atom bond strength decreases with increasing temperature the moduli also decrease as temperature increases. Refer to Figure 1. 2.
