Chapter 3 Keywords
Alloy: a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion.
Carbon Steel: steel in which the main alloying element is carbon, and whose properties are chiefly dependent on the percentage of carbon present.
Ceramic Materials: A ceramic is an inorganic, nonmetallic, solid material comprising metal, nonmetal or metalloid atoms primarily held in ionic and covalent bonds.
Composites: a thing made up of several parts or elements.
Elastomers: a natural or synthetic polymer having elastic properties, e.g., rubber.
Engineering Materials: Materials Of Engineering. Materials of Engineering refers to selecting the correct materials for the application in which the engineered part is being used.
Ferrous Metals: magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion.
Hardwoods: the wood from a broadleaved tree (such as oak, ash, or beech) as distinguished from that of conifers.
High Alloy Steels: Alloy steels are broken down into two groups: low-alloy steels and high-alloy steels.
Inorganic Materials: chemistry deals with molecules lacking carbon.
