logam Material yang tersusun atas satu atau berbagai jenis material logam Logam murni= tersusun atas satu jenis logam, bisa dilihat langsung di tabel periodik ( besi=Fe, Tembaga=Cu, Seng=Zn ) Logam alloy/paduan= logam yang tersusun atas minimal dua jenis logam ( tidak bereaksi kimia, hanya larut, tidak bisa dilihat unsur penyusunnya secara makro ), ( Baja=Fe+C, stainless steel=Fe+Cr, Kuningan=Cu+Zn )
Material properties 1. Physical properties 2. Mechanical properties 3. Chemical properties
Physical properties Colour –light wave length Specific heat – t he heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree centigrade (J/kg K) Density – mass per unit volume expressed in such units as kg/cm 3 Thermal conductivity –rate at which heat flows through a given material (W/m K) Melting point – a temperature at which a solid begins to liquify Electrical conductivity – a m easure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current ( Ω⋅ m ) Coefficient of thermal expansion – degree of expansion divided by the change in temperature (m/°C)
Mechanical properties Tensile strength – m easures the force required to pull something such as rope,wire or a structural beam to the point where it breaks Ductility – a measure of how much strain a material can take before rupturing M alleability – the p roperty of a material that can be worked or hammered or shaped without breaking Brittleness – break ing or shatter ing of a material when subjected to stress (when force is applied to it )
Elasticity – the property of a material that returns to its original shape after stress (e.g. external forces ) that made it deform or distort is removed Plasticity - the deformation of a material undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied forces Toughness – the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing Hardness – the property of being rigid and resistant to pressure; not easily scratched Machinability – the property of a material that can be shaped by hammering, pressing, rolling
Chemical properties Corrosion resistance - a material's ability to resist deterioration caused by exposure to an environment Flammability - How easily something will burn or ignite Heat of Combustion - This chemical property is the amount of energy that is released as heat when a substance is burned with oxygen. Toxicity - How much a substance can damage an animal, plant, cell, organ, or other organism Radioactivity - The emission of radiation from an atom with an unstable nucleus
