Categorize these materials into the closest listed category
Categorize these materials into the closest listed category for each property. DO ALL SIX MATERIALS FOR EACH OF THE FOUR PROPERTIES.
Materials
A. Unreinforced Thermoplastic Polymers
B. Unreinforced Industrial Ceramics
C. Non-Heat Treated Alloy Steel
D.Type A Hardened Tool Steel
E. Age Hardened Wrought Aluminum Alloys
F. Nickel-based Super
Example:
Tensile Strength - WEAK vs. STRONG
Materials that are WEAK (low Tensile Strength) are: A & B
Materials that are STRONG (high Tensile Strength) are: C, D, E, & F
Properties:
In terms of Resistance to Impacts, which of these would be considered BRITTLE (low resistance) and which would be considered TOUGH (high resistance)?
In terms of Operation Temperature, which of these materials would be limited to being used at LOW TEMPERATURES (below 500 deg.F), MEDIUM TEMPERATURES(between 500 and 1500 deg. f) and HIGH TEMPERATURES (above 1500 deg. f)?
In terms of Density, which of these materials are generally considered LIGHTWEIGHT (low density) and which of these would be considered HEAVY (high density)?
In terms of Oxidation (aka rust) Resistance, when exposed to water, which of these materials are generally considered to have a LOW CORROSIN RESISTANCE (prone to oxidation) and which of these would be considered HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE (waterproof)?
REMEMBER: DO ALL SIX MATERIALS FOR EACH OF THE FOUR PROPERTIES.
