Advanced Optical Materials was issued as a section of Advanced Materials in 2012 and launched as an individual journal under the same name in 2013. Publishing formats for the section of Advanced Materials were three or four page (short) communications, detailed full papers, and reviews. The stated purpose of this section was to communicate significant discoveries which advance the fields of photonics, plasmonics, and metamaterials. Fundamental research is also covered.....
2. Topics
What is Advanced Material
Properties of Advanced Materials
What are their place in manufacturing Industry?
Benefits of advanced materials
Advantages
Some examples of Advanced materials
3. What is Advanced Material ?
An Advanced material can be said to be a material
which has engineered properties created through
the development of specialized process and
synthesis technology.
4. Properties of Advanced Materials
Generally they are:
Novel
Improved properties over its replacement
Weight
Strength
Formability
Conductivity
Etc..
5. Some examples of Advanced
materials
•Light Metals
• Titanium
• Magnesium
• Aluminium
•Composites
• Carbon Fiber
• Kevlar
• Nano Composites
• Metal laminates
•Steels
• Dual phase steels
• Trip steels
• Bake hardening steels
• •But, there are many more with very specific applications.
6. Why their place in manufacturing Industry
Advanced Materials have improved properties over its replacement.
Example :
−Weight
−Strength
−Formability
−Conductivity
−Etc..
(However, the cost/benefit ratio of utilizing advanced materials often swing a
decision in their favor.)
7. Why their place in manufacturing Industry
Currently both the Automotive and Aerospace industries are facing similar
challenges:
Needs for:
Improved fuel economy
Improved Performance
Reduced emissions
(Current body structure designs using “standard” materials are also nearing
peak optimization.)
Body structure weight reductions
8. Benefits of some advanced materials
Magnesium
−22% the weight of iron, and 65% of aluminium.
−magnesium alloys are around 50% the strength of steel,
−Stiffer than most plastics,
−are subject to corrosion.
The world market for magnesium currently at 450,000 tones per year and is
increasing by 5%
9. Benefits of some advanced materials
Titanium
• Titanium is as strong as steel, and is half the weight.
• Its also very corrosion resistant,
• has a high melting point.
• Requires specialized machining and annealing processes
Titanium market growth is extremely cyclical, depending on
the aerospace industry activity.
10. Benefits of some advanced materials
Carbon Fibre.
light weight (75 percent lighter than steel),
High stiffnessYoungsmodulus of up to 300
GPa(12 times that of steel)
more durable (infinite fatigue life within design
parameters)
11. Benefits of some advanced materials
Nano composites
up to 98% stiffness
improvement,
higher Heat DeformationTemp .
same impact strength
Improved fire resistance
Example: Football (22 cm), Pet flea
(1mm), Human hair (80 µm), Red blood cells
(7µm),Virus particles (150nm)
12. Advantages
