Unit1 Advanced Engineering Materials Types of materials By state：solid, liquid, or gas By living：organic, inorganic By industrial purposes： engineering materials. nonengineering materials. Unit1 Advanced Engineering Materials Types of materials Materials may be grouped in several ways. Scientists often classify materials by their state: solid, liquid, or gas. They also separate them into organic (once living) and inorganic materials. For industrial purposes, materials are divided into engineering materials or nonengineering materials. Engineering materials used in manufacture and become parts of products. Nonengineering materials chemicals, fuels, lubricants, and other materials used in the manufacturing process, which do not become part of the product. Unit1 Advanced Engineering Materials Types of materials Engineering materials are those used in manufacture and become parts of products. Nonengineering materials are the chemicals, fuels, lubricants, and other materials used in the manufacturing process, which do not become part of the product. Engineering materials may be further subdivided into: Metals Ceramics (陶瓷) Composite (复合材料) Polymers (聚合体) others Unit1 Advanced Engineering Materials Types of materials Engineering materials may be further subdivided into: metal, ceramics, composite, and polymers, etc. Metals and Metal Alloys Metals are elements that generally have good electrical and thermal conductivity. Many metals have high strength, high stiffness, and have good ductility. Some metals, such as iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic （adj. 有磁性的）. At extremely low temperatures, some metals and intermetallic compounds (金属间化合物) become superconductors . Differences between a metal alloy and a pure metal Pure metals are elements which come from a particular area of the periodic table.
