1.- TECHNICAL MATERIALS.
1.- RAW MATERIALS are substances that are extracted directly from natural object. The can be classified into three main categories: animal origin (wool, silk, hides,..) vegetal origin (cotton, hard wood and soft wood ("timbers"), cork, ..) mineral origin (marble, clay, iron...)2.- MATERIALS are the raw materials transformed by physical or chemical processes: paper, planks of wood, plastic, metal, glass, etc.
Manufactured BOARDS of wood: are pieces or stripes of wood glue together:
PLYWOOD(contrachapado) ,CHIPBOARD(aglomerado), MDF, BLOCKBOARD, HARDBOARD(conglomerado).
3.- MANUFACTURED GOODS are any objects created by humans to satisfy their needs and improve their standard of living. The manufactured good can be made of various pieces made from various different materials: furniture, cars, etc.PLYWOOD(contrachapado) ,CHIPBOARD(aglomerado), MDF, BLOCKBOARD, HARDBOARD(conglomerado).
4.- TECNICHAL MATERIALS: Common materials used to make manufactured goods:
- WOOD: furniture, floors, tool hadles, decorative objects, etc.
- Softwood timbers usually come from coniferous trees - that is, evergreen, needle-leaved, cone-bearing trees such as fir and pine.
- Hardwood timbers come from broad-leaved, deciduous trees, and are more important in Design and Technology than softwood timbers.
- METALS: tools and machines, electrical components, fixtures and fasteners, etc.
- A) FERROUS. There are metals contain iron. All ferrous metals are MAGNETIC. Examples are cast iron, mild steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel, stainless steel, and high speed steel.
- B) NON-FERROUS. There area metals do not contain iron. They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals: aluminium, duralumin, copper, zinc, brass, gilding metal and tin
- PLASTICS: PP, PU, PVC, PE, ..eg.: toys, containers, tubing, etc.
- CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS: bricks, roofing tiles, walls, etc.
2.- ALLOYS.
An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals.
When a material is needed which requires certain properties and this does not exist in a pure metal we combine metals.
Pure white aluminium is very soft and ductile. Other elements can be added to create an aluminium alloy. This can produce a metal which is stronger than Mild Steel has improved hardness and is resistant to corrosion while still remaining light in weight.
- STEEL= IRON + CARBON.
- POOR STEEL= IRON + MUCH CARBON (eg: manhole cover)
- BRASS= COPPER + ZINC.
- BRONZE= COPPER + TIN.
- PEWTER= TIN + ANTIMONY + COPPER.
IRON & GOLD
3.-PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS.
Hardness
|
is the ability of a material to resist wear, scratching and indentation. The resistance a materials has to cutting and surface indentations.
|
Toughness
|
The opposite of Brithleness. Toughness is the ability of a material to withstand blows or sudden shocks without breaking.This describes the amount of energy a material can absorb without breaking. We measure a material's ability to absorb shock.
|
Tensile Strength
|
The maximum force a material can withstand
((in tension(pulling) compression(squashing) , torque(twisting) and shearing(sideways pressure)))
|
Malleability
|
The amount of hammering, pressing and shaping a material can take without breaking.
|
Ductility
|
Ductility is the ability of a material to deform, usually by stretching along its length.The length that a material can be stretched without breaking.
|
Elasticity
|
It´s the ability of a material to be bended and then return to its original shape and size when released.
|
Conductivity
|
Is the ability to conduct heat or electricity.
|
Heaviness
|
The denseness of materials. A dense material will be heavy in relation to its size. Density=Mass/Volume
|
Strength
|
The measure of how a material withstands a heavy load without breaking.
|
Fusibility
|
Fusibility is the ability of a material to change into a liquid or molten state when heated to its melting point
|
others: | Hardness, Opaque/Translucent/Transparent; Welding, Plastilicty, Waterproof/Permeability, Fragily, Britleness , Fold/Bend |
4.- MANUFACTURED PROCEDURES.
Tools: The tools and machines increase our ability to do work with materials. To mark(punch, compass, square, pencil, rule, scriber, templates), to cut-drill(saw, jack plane, jig-saw, drilling machine, chisels), to bend (vice, hammer), to smooth off (files).

- MARKING OUT:'Marking out' means the transfer of shapes and lines onto the material, as guides for cutting, bending or shaping them. Accurate marking out is essential if the different parts of the product are to fit together properly. You can use this tools: pencil, scriber, compasses, templates, etc.
- SHAPING BY WASTING TOOLS: Shaping by wasting simply means cutting away material to leave the desired shape.The tools that you can use are: circular saw bench, jig saw, Drilling machine, Hand router or Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machin, etc.
- BENDING: Metals can be bent in a vice or in folding bars. Thin metal may be bent whilst cold, while thicker metal may need heating or annealing. Larger pieces of metal may also need to be heated first.
- SHAPING BY REFORMING: Reforming is a method of shaping materials which changes their overall appearance by first melting or softening them into a paste, then hardening them. Reforming methods include casting, extrusion and injection moulding.
- EXTRUSION: Extrusion is used to produce long, but fairly thin products such as pipes or curtain tracks. Both plastics and metal can be extruded. The material is forced through a die, which contains a hole which is the same shape as the required product.
- INJECTION. Injection moulding is a similar process to die casting. A metal mould is used and softened or molten plastic is forced into the mould by pressure from a screw thread or pneumatic plunger. The mould is made in two parts to allow the moulding to be removed. Polythene, polystyrene, polypropylene and nylon are the plastics most often used in injection moulding, which is used extensively in industry.
