Physicochemical Properties and Process Performance of Materials 2025-09-10 Physicochemical Properties and Process Performance of Materials The physicochemical properties of a material refer to its inherent attributes exhibited under physical and chemical actions, which determine its essential characteristics. The process performance (or technological performance) refers to a material’s ability to adapt to various processing and manufacturing methods, directly influencing the manufacturability and cost of products. 1. Physicochemical Properties of Materials Physicochemical properties are inherent to the material itself and independent of processing. They are mainly categorized into physical properties and chemical properties. 1.1 Physical Properties These reflect the material’s response to physical actions (e.g., force, heat, light, electricity, magnetism) and serve as a core basis for material selection.   Thermal Properties: Characteristics related to temperature changes Melting point/Solidification point: The temperature at which a material transitions from solid to liquid (or vice versa). For example, the melting point of steel is approximately 1538°C, which defines the temperature range for its hot working. Thermal conductivity: The material’s ability to transfer heat. Copper has high thermal conductivity (~401 W/(m·K)) and is suitable for heat-dissipating components; thermal insulation cotton has low thermal conductivity and is used for heat insulation. Coefficient of thermal expansion: The rate of dimensional change of a material with temperature. For instance, the thermal expansion coefficients of glass and metal must match to avoid cracking during packaging. Electrical Properties: The material’s response to electric current Resistivity: Measures the material’s conductivity (low resistivity for conductors like copper; high resistivity for insulators like rubber; intermediate resistivity for semiconductors like silicon). Dielectric constant: Characterizes the material’s ability to store electrical energy, used for selecting capacitors and insulating materials (e.g., ceramics have a high dielectric constant and are suitable for high-frequency capacitors). Optical Properties: The interaction between the material and light Light transmittance: The proportion of light transmitted through the material (e.g., glass has a transmittance >80% for windows; plastic films have adjustable transmittance for agricultural greenhouses). Reflectivity/Absorptivity: Mirrors have high reflectivity, while coatings on solar panels have high absorptivity to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency. Magnetic Properties: The material’s response to magnetic fields Magnetic types: Classified as ferromagnetic (e.g., iron, nickel, attractable by magnets), paramagnetic (e.g., aluminum, weakly attractable), and diamagnetic (e.g., copper, weakly repellent), used in motors and magnetic storage devices. 1.2 Chemical Properties These reflect the material’s stability in chemical environments, i.e., its ability to resist corrosion, oxidation, and chemical reactions.   Corrosion resistance: The material’s ability to resist erosion by chemical media such as acids, alkalis, and salt solutions (e.g., stainless steel resists atmospheric corrosion; titanium alloys resist seawater corrosion and are used in ship components). Oxidation resistance: The material’s ability to resist reaction with oxygen at high or room temperatures (e.g., superalloys resist oxidation in engines to prevent surface spalling). Chemical stability: The material’s characteristic of not reacting with contacting substances (e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene, known as "resistant to all chemicals," is used as a lining for chemical pipelines). 2. Process Performance of Materials Process performance refers to a material’s ability to adapt to manufacturing processes. It directly determines "whether processing is possible," "processing difficulty," and "yield rate," and is a key consideration for material selection in industrial production.   Type of Process Performance Definition (Core Description) Key Influences & Application Scenarios Casting Performance The material’s ability to be melted, poured, and cooled into castings. Core indicators: Fluidity (molten material easily fills molds; e.g., gray cast iron has good fluidity and is suitable for complex castings) and shrinkage rate (dimensional shrinkage after cooling, which must be controlled to avoid shrinkage cavities). Used in manufacturing engine blocks, pipe fittings, etc. Deformation Processing Performance The material’s ability to undergo plastic deformation via external forces such as forging, rolling, stamping, and extrusion. Good performance is characterized by "easy deformation without cracking" (e.g., low-carbon steel has good stamping performance for automotive body parts; aluminum alloys have good extrusion performance for door/window profiles). Welding Performance The material’s ability to be joined with similar/dissimilar materials into an integrated structure (via heating or pressure) while ensuring joint strength. Low-carbon steel has excellent welding performance (weld strength is close to the base metal) and is commonly used in welded steel structures; high-carbon steel is prone to cracking during welding and requires preheating/slow cooling, increasing process costs. Machinability The ease of cutting a material with tools (characterized by easy chip breaking, low tool wear, and low surface roughness). Materials like copper and aluminum alloys have good machinability and easily achieve smooth surfaces; stainless steel and titanium alloys are difficult to machine (prone to tool adhesion and rapid tool wear) and require specialized tools and processes. Heat Treatment Performance The material’s ability to change its internal structure (via heating, heat preservation, and cooling) to adjust mechanical properties (e.g., strength, hardness). Core indicators: Hardenability (depth of uniform hardness penetration during quenching; e.g., 45 steel has moderate hardenability for small-to-medium sized parts; alloy steels have good hardenability for large-diameter shafts) and tempering stability (ability to maintain hardness after high-temperature tempering). Molding Performance (for Polymers) The ability of polymeric materials (plastics, rubber) to be shaped via processes such as injection molding, extrusion, and vulcanization. For example, polyethylene has good fluidity and is suitable for injection molding into daily necessities; the vulcanization performance of rubber determines its elasticity (sufficient vulcanization ensures good elasticity, used in tires and seals). 3. Core Relationship: Physicochemical Properties vs. Process Performance The two interact and jointly determine the material’s application scenarios:   Physicochemical properties define the upper limit of process performance: For example, high-melting-point materials (e.g., tungsten, melting point 3422°C) are difficult to cast (requiring extremely high temperatures) and can only be processed via powder metallurgy; brittle materials (e.g., ceramics) have poor deformation processing performance and can only be formed via sintering. Process performance affects the realization of physicochemical properties: For example, heat treatment can change a material’s internal structure, thereby adjusting its mechanical properties (e.g., 45 steel exhibits increased hardness and strength, with slightly reduced plasticity, after quenching and tempering); the cooling rate during casting affects the grain size of castings, which in turn changes their tensile strength and corrosion resistance.
Tensile Test and Mechanical Properties of Materials 2025-09-10 Tensile Test and Mechanical Properties of Materials The tensile test is the most fundamental method for determining the mechanical properties of materials. By applying an axial tensile force to a standard specimen and recording the force-displacement curve, it further analyzes key mechanical indicators of the material such as strength, plasticity, and elasticity. 1. Core Purpose of the Tensile Test By simulating the deformation and failure process of materials under axial force, it quantitatively obtains the material's ability to resist external forces (strength) and deformation capacity (plasticity), providing a basis for material selection, structural design, and quality inspection. 2. Key Mechanical Property Indicators Derived from the Test Based on the tensile curve (stress-strain curve), the following core indicators can be extracted. Their physical meanings and application scenarios are shown in the table below:   Property Indicator Definition (Core Description) Physical Meaning / Application Scenario Elastic Modulus (E) The ratio of stress to strain in the elastic stage ("stiffness" indicator) Reflects the material's ability to resist elastic deformation; e.g., mechanical parts require high E to ensure dimensional stability Yield Strength (σₛ) The minimum stress at which the material begins to undergo plastic deformation ("plastic deformation resistance") A key basis for structural design to prevent parts from failing due to plastic deformation Tensile Strength (σᵦ) The maximum tensile stress that the material can withstand ("ultimate strength") Evaluates the upper limit of the material's resistance to fracture and is used to determine the load-bearing limit of the material Percentage Elongation After Fracture (δ) The percentage of the elongation to the original length after the specimen fractures ("plasticity indicator") Reflects the plasticity of the material; a larger δ means the material is easier to process (e.g., stamping, bending) Percentage Reduction of Area (ψ) The percentage of the reduction in cross-sectional area to the original area after the specimen fractures A more sensitive plasticity indicator than δ, especially suitable for brittle materials 3. Differences in Tensile Behavior of Typical Materials The stress-strain curves of different types of materials vary significantly, directly reflecting their mechanical property characteristics:   Plastic Materials (e.g., low-carbon steel): The curve has four stages—elastic stage (recovery after unloading), yield stage (stress remains unchanged while strain increases), strain hardening stage (stress and strain increase simultaneously), and necking-fracture stage. The percentage elongation after fracture is high (δ > 5%). Brittle Materials (e.g., ceramics, cast iron): There is no obvious yield stage; they fracture directly after the elastic stage. The percentage elongation after fracture is extremely low (δ < 5%), and the tensile strength is much lower than the compressive strength. Highly Elastic Materials (e.g., rubber): The elastic deformation is extremely large (up to 1000%), the elastic modulus is low, there is no plastic deformation, and it fully recovers after unloading. 4. Core Influencing Factors of the Test The accuracy of the test results depends on the control of the following factors:   Specimen Specifications: Must comply with national standards (e.g., GB/T 228.1) to ensure uniform dimensions (length, diameter) and avoid errors caused by specimen differences. Loading Rate: Excessively fast loading will make the material exhibit "increased brittleness" (e.g., low-carbon steel may have no obvious yield). Loading must be carried out at the standard rate (e.g., 1~5 mm/min). Environmental Conditions: High temperatures reduce material strength and increase plasticity; low temperatures make materials brittle (e.g., "cold brittleness" of steel at low temperatures). The test temperature must be clearly specified.
