Cast Irons
• Ferrous alloys with > 2.1 wt% C
– more commonly 3 - 4.5 wt% C
• Low melting – relatively easy to cast
• Generally brittle
• Cementite decomposes to ferrite + graphite
Fe3C  3 Fe (a) + C (graphite)
– generally a slow process

Types of Cast Iron
Adapted from Fig.

Rethwisch 4e.
Gray iron
• graphite flakes
• weak & brittle in tension
• stronger in compression
• excellent vibrational dampening
• wear resistant
Ductile iron
• add Mg and/or Ce
• graphite as nodules not flakes
• matrix often pearlite – stronger
but less ductile

Ceramics Application: Die Blanks
• Die blanks:
-- Need wear resistant properties!
• Die surface:
-- 4 mm polycrystalline diamond
particles that are sintered onto a
cemented tungsten carbide
substrate.
-- polycrystalline diamond gives uniform
hardness in all directions to reduce
wear.

carbide, ceramics
-- for cutting Si wafers
-- for oil drilling
• Materials:
-- manufactured single crystal

Ceramics Application: Sensors
• Example: ZrO2 as an oxygen sensor
Ca 2+
• Principle: Increase diffusion rate of oxygen
to produce rapid response of sensor signal to
change in oxygen concentration
• Approach:
A substituting Ca2+ ion
removes a Zr 4+ ion and
an O2- ion.
Add Ca impurity to ZrO2:
-- increases O2- vacancies
-- increases O2- diffusion rate
• Operation:
-- voltage difference produced when

reference
O2- ions diffuse from the external unknown, higher
gas at fixed
O2surface through the sensor to the oxygen content

Refractories
• Materials to be used at high temperatures (e.g., in
high temperature furnaces).
• Consider the Silica (SiO2) - Alumina (Al2O3) system.
• Silica refractories - silica rich - small additions of alumina

Advanced Ceramics:
Materials for Automobile Engines
• Advantages:
– Operate at high
temperatures – high
efficiencies
– Low frictional losses
– Operate without a cooling
system
– Lower weights than
current engines
• Disadvantages:
– Ceramic materials are
brittle
– Difficult to remove internal
voids (that weaken
structures)
– Ceramic parts are difficult
to form and machine
• Potential candidate materials: Si3N4, SiC, & ZrO2
• Possible engine parts: engine block & piston coatings

Components:
-- Outer facing plates
-- Backing sheet
Properties/Materials:
-- Facing plates -- hard and brittle
— fracture high-velocity projectile
— Al2O3, B4C, SiC, TiB2
-- Backing sheets -- soft and ductile
— deform and absorb remaining energy
— aluminum, synthetic fiber laminates

Polymer Types – Fibers
Fibers - length/diameter >100
• Primary use is in textiles.
• Fiber characteristics:
– high tensile strengths
– high degrees of crystallinity
– structures containing polar groups
• Formed by spinning
– extrude polymer through a spinneret (a die
containing many small orifices)
– the spun fibers are drawn under tension
– leads to highly aligned chains - fibrillar structure
Chapter 13 - 21
Polymer Types – Miscellaneous
•
•
Coatings – thin polymer films applied to surfaces – i.e.,
paints, varnishes
– protects from corrosion/degradation
– decorative – improves appearance
– can provide electrical insulation
Adhesives – bonds two solid materials (adherands)
– bonding types:
1. Secondary – van der Waals forces
2. Mechanical – penetration into pores/crevices
•
•
Films – produced by blown film extrusion
Foams – gas bubbles incorporated into plastic
