Materials act as the fundamental components from which something new items.
Think of them as the raw materials used in baking a cake. Just as the type and quality of the taste and texture of a cake, the materials used in manufacturing impact the performance, cost, and quality of the products we use.
This holds true for everything from the components in your phone a car.
In manufacturing and fabrication, material selection is mostly important.
It also affects how easy it is to manufacture and how much it costs.
For example, some materials may be better suited for manufacturing a product because they are stronger, lighter, or cheaper than others. This is where the role of procurement comes in.
Procurement involves finding and purchasing the materials needed for manufacturing. Procurement specialists ensure that materials are sourced from reliable suppliers, At the best possible prices and delivered on time. This helps reduce costs and ensures that products are manufactured to the right quality standards. This course, we’ll explore various types of materials: From metals and plastics to ceramics and composites learn how to use them in manufacturing.
We’ll also get the importance of good procurement and how it can be utilized for business success.
Understanding the role of materials and procurement will better equip you to succeed in the world of manufacturing and contribute to creating better products for everyone.

10Maraging steel is a high strengthVideo lesson
Maraging steel is a high-strength, low-alloy steel known for its exceptional strength, toughness, and resistance to wear and corrosion. It belongs to the family of precipitation-hardening steels and derives its name from "martensite" (a hard, crystalline structure) and "aging" (the process of heat treatment). Maraging steel achieves its remarkable properties through a unique combination of alloying elements and a specialized heat treatment process.

11Tensile TestingVideo lesson
Tensile testing is a mechanical testing method used to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials under tensile (pulling) forces. It provides valuable information about a material's behavior under tension, including its strength, ductility, stiffness, and toughness.
-
12Bend TestingVideo lesson
Bend testing is a mechanical testing method used to evaluate the ductility and soundness of materials, particularly metals and metallic alloys. The test involves subjecting a specimen to bending stress until it fractures or undergoes a specified amount of deformation. Bend testing is commonly performed to assess the material's ability to withstand bending without failure, which is critical for applications where the material may experience bending or forming processes.
-
13Hardness TestingVideo lesson
Hardness testing is a method used to evaluate the resistance of a material to indentation or scratching, providing an indication of its mechanical strength, wear resistance, and suitability for specific applications. There are various hardness testing methods available, each suitable for different materials, shapes, and testing requirements.
-
14Impact TestingVideo lesson
Impact testing is a method used to evaluate the toughness and impact resistance of materials, particularly metals and alloys. It assesses a material's ability to absorb energy and resist fracture when subjected to a sudden impact or shock load. Impact testing is crucial for determining the suitability of materials for applications where they may experience impact loading, such as structural components, machinery, and safety equipment. There are several standardized impact testing methods, with the Charpy and Izod tests being the most common.
-
15Compression TestingVideo lesson
Compression testing is performed to assess a material's response to compressive forces and to determine its compressive strength, modulus of elasticity in compression, and other relevant mechanical properties.
It helps in evaluating the load-bearing capacity of materials and their resistance to crushing, buckling, or deformation under compressive loading conditions.
-
16Torsion TestingVideo lesson
Torsion testing is a mechanical testing method used to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials under torsional (twisting) stress. This type of testing is particularly important for materials and components subjected to torsional loading, such as shafts, springs, and structural members. Torsion testing helps determine the material's torsional strength, modulus of elasticity in shear, and behavior under twisting forces.

20Nuts&Bolts and metals shapesVideo lesson
Bolts, nuts, gaskets, and steel shapes may seem like small components, but they play a pivotal role in ensuring the strength, precision, and reliability of engineering and construction projects. These elements are the backbone of countless industries, providing the foundation for secure fastenings, leak-proof seals, and structural integrity. Bolts and nuts work together to join materials with precision, gaskets create tight seals to prevent leaks and maintain system efficiency, and steel shapes form the framework of buildings, machinery, and infrastructure. By understanding the unique functions of each component and selecting the right ones for specific applications, engineers and builders can ensure the success and durability of their projects. These essential elements exemplify the heart of engineering excellence, empowering industries to achieve greater heights with confidence.
