MATERIALS SCIENCE LABORATORY:
PREPARATION OF REFERENCE BOOKLET
OBJECTIVE:
In order to be aware of the vast range in physical properties of different materials and to become acquainted with the resources of the library, you are asked to research and report values for the various properties listed below.
PROCEDURE:
Many good reference books are available in the library in addition to the on-line databases. Professional organizations such as ASM, ASME, and others regularly compile tables within their periodicals as well as printed books. Resources such as these as well as your text book and other texts within the library and the databases will contain the required information. All sources must be cited and at least one third of the materials must be physically researched in the library = printed sources.
RESULTS:
Prepare a short reference “booklet” of reference tables or other presentable format that addresses the materials, and properties listed below. If a range of values is found, report a single average. Each page of the report should have a maximum of two different materials on a single sheet. As part of the introduction to your “booklet”, explain the terms annealed and cold-worked and how these processes affect the properties of metals. Also discuss whether or not these processes are applicable to other classes of materials.
