11. 1.Structure
The structure can be divided into 4 levels :
• Structure of Atomic including of Nucleus (Proton + Neutrons)
Surrounded by electronic orbitals.
• Structure of Crystal is Array characterization of atoms or molecules.
Crystalline structures are
arranged in a metallike
order
Amorphous structures are Atoms
arranged in disorder like polymers

• Microscopic Is a type of Inside the material which can be viewed
through a microscope.
• Macroscopic Can be seen with the eyes.

13. 2. Properties
The material's properties respond to the environment. The 7 main
engineering properties are:
• Chemical properties, such as the structural features and composition of the
compounds that make up the material...
• Physical properties such as material adhesion, density, melting ...
• Mechanical properties such as shrinkage, stiffness, hardness ....
• Thermal properties such as heat conduction efficiency ...
• Electrical properties such as electrical conductors ...
• Magnetic properties such as the magnetic field of the material.
• The optical properties such as the scattering of the light, the transparency of the
material ...

14. 3. Processing
• The production process is the process of processing material by either
heat or mechanical force.
• The result can be microstructural changes that can directly affect the
material properties of a material.,
Casting
furnace
Rolling
machine
appearance built
The structure varies according to the
characteristics of casting and cooling.
The structure is compressed and thin.

properties are the properties of the structure of which materials And what to do In order to obtain that
structure, what process must be produced or processed?

• Selection of materials from the
available options is limited to which
material is most appropriate from its
specific characteristics.
• Understand the relationship between
the structural components of the
material and the properties of the
material, allowing the development
of specific characteristics of the
material in order to meet the needs of
modern society.

19. 4. Classification of Materials
Materials can be divided into 3 main groups based on chemical
properties and atomic arrangement.

20. 4.1 Metals
• Consists of metal objects Or maybe a little non-metal mixed
with valence electrons surrounded like 'an electron sea' that
holds the positive charges together
• Properties: good heating and electric power, impermeable light
Strong and tough
• Example:
• Ferrous Metals and Alloys
Including iron and cast iron
• Nonferrous Metals and
Alloys Such as aluminum,
zinc, copper, brass etc.

21. 4.2 Polymer
Polyethylene
• Consisting of plastic and gesture most of them are organic. (Organic)
Contains carbon, contains molecules in a chain.
• Properties: good electrical insulation Some types are heat insulation.
High flexibility, light weight, low strength
• Examples: Plastic, Rubber, PVC, Epoxy
Polymerization process Occurs by the small
molecules connected to a large molecule.

22. 4.3 Ceramic
• Consists of metals and non-metals (non-metals)
• Most of the ceramics are in the form of oxides, carbides, nitrides and
nitrides.
• Properties: insulating heat and electricity high temperature resistant
more durable in a toxic environment than metals and polymers Is
strong but fragile
• Examples: Glass, Brick, Alumina, SiN,
SiC, Zirconia, Clay

23. 4.4 Composites
• Is a composite material from 2 main groups or more Which the
composite material must not dissolve each other
• Properties: It is a combination of good properties of materials that are
together
• Example: Fiberglass
(obtaining the hardness
of glass fibers mixed
with the flexibility of
polymers), steel fiber
reinforced concrete
(With both strength and
longevity)

• The semi-conductor material has electrical properties in the middle
between the body. Electrical and electrical insulation, such as pure
silicon, which are created in different ways
• Properties: when the temperature rises, the conductivity of the
semiconductor Will be better (as opposed to metal)
• Example: Silicon chip and micro-electronic devices (microelectronic
devices), which is the Important in the production of satellites,
computer, calculator, digital watch, robots etc.

• It is a material that That has a medical role. Biomaterials include All
types of materials that can be used in biological Can be implanted into
the human body to change or replace the damaged organ It does not
cause toxic substances and can be compatible with the tissues in the
human body such as prosthetics, artificial bones, prosthesis. Hip joint,
implants, etc.

• Materials can be aware of changes in the environment (where they
operate). And responding to those changes in the form of Set
beforehand For example, Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy is made from
Titanium and Nigel alloys that are used in Muscle Wires and applied in
robotics or "Smart Shirts" (clothing that interacts with the wearers.

There are also sensors and actuators that can be used to detect changes in
the environment, temperature, color change, light intensity or response
when receiving electricity.
