 Goals and Objectives:-
The overall goal of this is to literature how systematic select-ion
procedure can be used to select optimum material and
processesfor a given components.

 General Steps in Material selection:-

1. Analysis of the performance requirements.
2. Development of the alternative solution to the problem.
3. Evaluation of the different solution.
4. Decision on the optimum solution.

1. Analysis of the performance requirements:

The material performance requirementscan be divided into 5
broads categories.
1.Functional requirements. 4. Reliability requirements.
2.Processability requirements. 5.Resistance to service
3.Cost. Condition.
Product Function Is Interdependent
Screening:How Do We Choose A Material:

Product Function depends upon...

Material, manufacturing process, geometry.
We have to consider all three.
• Do we select a few feasible materials first... Then select the
specific mfg process ? OR
• Do we select a few feasible mfg process... Then select the
specific material ?
 Screening: Material First Approach:
Application information
1. Applied load: Magnitude, cyclic nature(steady,fatigue),Rate (slow ,
impact.),Duration (creep.).
2. Ambient Condition:Temperature, moisture, sunlight, chemi-
cal liquids/vapors.
3. Safety.
4. Cost.
Screening: Manufacturing Process First Ap
proach:Part Information
1. Production Volume.
2. Part size(overall).
3. Shape capability(features.)

(internal/external.),Uniform walls Cross-section(Uniform/regular.), Rotational

Rating

Best Materials(s)&Processes
 Rating : Material Indices
• Given the same cost/volume... Which is stronger.
Index=Strenght/Cost.
• Given the same cost/volume... Which is stiffer.
Index=Young's Modulus/cost.

 Comparing And Ranking Alternatives l Weighted

Properties Method I
• In this method each material requirement is assigned a
certain weight, depending on its importance.
• A weighted property value is obtained by multiplayeing the
scaled value of the property by the weighting factor.
• The weighted property value of each material are then
summed to give a performance index is optimum for the
application.B=scaled property.
• B=numerical value of property×100
 Comparing And Ranking Alternatives
I Weighed Properties Method II :
 For cost, corrosion loss, etc., a lower value is more desirable and
the lowest value is rated as 100
B= minimum value in the list×100
numerical value of property.
Material performance index =

Where I is summed overall the n relevant properties.

 Reaching Final Decision:
• After ranking of alternatives, candidates that have the most
promising performance indices can each now be used to
develop a detail design.
• Each detail design will exploit the points of strength of the
material, avoid the weak point and reflect the requirements of
the manufacturing processes needed for the material.
• After completing the different design, soluy are then compared,
taking the cost elements into consideration in order to arrive at
the optimum design material process combination.
 Case Study -Selecting A Beam Material For
Minimum Cost:
 A simply supported beam of rectangular Cross section of
length 1 meter ,width 100mm, and no restriction on the
depth is subjected to a load of 20 KN in it's middle.
 The main design requirement is that the beam should not
suffer plastic deformation asa result of load application.
 Select the least expensive material for the beam.
