IntroductionIntroductionGoal of manufacturing: to create products and

components that perform properly. Due to advances in materials science, there is a

wide array of available materials◦The increase in the number of choices has often

led to improper or poor materials selection◦Sometimes, a more expensive alloy is chosen

when a cheaper alloy would have been sufficientDesign and material engineers have the

responsibility of proper materials selection.

IntroductionIntroductionMaterial selection processes should be

constantly reevaluatedMaterials selection concerns are always

changing◦Environmental pollution◦Recycling◦Energy ◦Health or safety constraints◦Geopolitical issues

IntroductionIntroduction

Materials in many products have changed over the years

Material Selection and Material Selection and Manufacturing ProcessesManufacturing Processes Material and

manufacturing processes are extremely interdependent

Change in a material will likely cause a change in the manufacturing process needed

A successful product has gone through both proper material selection and processing selection

The Design ProcessThe Design ProcessDesign is the first stage in

manufacturing processes◦What it is◦What properties must it possess◦What material◦How to make it◦How many to make◦What conditions will it see during use

Steps for DesignSteps for Design

1. Conceptual◦Several concepts may be considered

2. Functional◦Workable designs are developed◦Detailed plan for manufacturing◦Prototyping

3. Production◦Full production◦Production speeds and quantities

Procedures for Material SelectionProcedures for Material Selection

General sequence of product design◦design→material selection→process

selection→production→evaluation→redesignCase-history method

◦Evaluates what has been done in the pastModification of an existing product

◦Evaluates the current product and manufacturing techniques

◦Changes or improves upon features of the existing product

Development of a new product◦Follows the full sequence of product design above

Proper Materials SelectionProper Materials SelectionAll factors and service conditions must be

metAbsolute requirements

◦No compromise possibleRelative requirements

◦Compromises can be made◦Good, better, best are all acceptable

Additional Factors to ConsiderAdditional Factors to ConsiderHandbook data is valuable in determining

materialsNote the conditions under which values for

materials were obtainedCost is often one of the biggest additional factors

◦Often, compromises between material properties and cost must be made

Material availabilityAre there any possible misuses on the part of the

consumer?Have there been failures for similar products?Material’s usage historyMaterial standardization

Ultimate ObjectiveUltimate Objective

Develop a combination of material and processes that is the best solution

Material or manufacturing selection normally imposes restrictions or limitations on the other

Economics, environment, energy, efficiency, recycling, inspection, and serviceability are important deciding factors

Materials SubstitutionMaterials Substitution

Care should be taken so that all requirements are still met

The total picture should be considered so that any possible compromises can be determined◦Aluminum sheets have replaced steel for

weight reduction, but vibration problems require special design considerations

◦Failure to know and use the best materials information

◦Failure to account for all reasonable material uses

◦Use of materials with insufficient data◦Inadequate quality control◦Material selection made by unqualified people

Select a Material with Rating Select a Material with Rating ChartChart

1. List all required material properties for a product to be designed.

2. Screen all required properties and identify those absolute properties that must be considered for the product as “Go-No-Go” properties.

3. Rate each candidate material on a scale such as 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 for each required property.

4. Define weighted factor for each required property based on its significance.

5. Multiply property rating by its weighted factor and sum the results for each materials

6. Select the material that satisfies the “Go-No-Go” screen and has the highest sum of the relative rating numbers.

Advantages: Potential materials can be compared in

a uniform, unbiased manner The best candidate can often be

selected There is less chance to overlook a

major requirement by placing all the requirement on a single sheet.

Solution:Solution:• Finding “Go-No-Go” property: weldability

• - S: satisfactory• - U: unsatisfactory

• Calculating: R = Relative rating number, and r = weighting factor.Relative rating number R = property rating number x

weighting factor

• Set material’s property rating number (1 – 5):excellent = 5, very good = 4, good = 3, fair = 2, poor = 1

• weighted factor for each material’s property: • - Stiffness : 1• - Stability: 4• - Fatigue: 5• - Tensile strength: 4

Conclusion:Conclusion:

Based on the chart below, material Y has the highest rating number. However, because it does not have satisfactory weldability and this is an "absolute" requirement, it should not be selected. Material Z should be used.

SummarySummaryProper materials selection is vital to a

product’s successThe design engineer and materials

engineer are responsible for materials selection

Materials and process selection go hand-in-hand

Data should be used to validate materials selection
