History of Materials Science and Engineering
Materials have played an important part in our civilization. Entire eras have been named after important materials.
All sorts of materials
Material 1: It is a kind of material with obvious property of conducting heat and electricity. The most common types of the material include steel, iron, copper, aluminum and so on.Metal
Material 2: The material can conduct electricity with a bit of help in the form of added “impurities”. Your CD,DVD player, telephone and radio
semiconductor
All sorts of materials
Material 3: Scientists try to mimic nature’s designs to create materials for other uses, such as using the foam structure of bone as an inspiration for designing materials that are lightweight and strong.
Material 4: It is a kind of material with obvious property of conducting heat and electricity. Plastic, paint and rubber are all made of this material.

the advantages of metals(para.1-2)
Compared with metals, plastics are lighter and more corrosion-resistant, but why it is not widely used in industry?(Para.2)
For one thing, plastics are not strong; for another, they cannot be recycled.
Why does man use metals so much today?(Para.1)
Because it offers the required strength and other properties at minimum cost.
metals
What material is the most important for industry?(para.3)
Metals.
Are all metals used as engineering metals? Which metal finds greater use than any other metal? (para.4)
No. Iron
Translation
The most important engineering metal is iron(Fe), which in the form of alloys with carbon(c) and other elements, finds greater use than any other metal.原译:最重要的工程金属就是铁、铁跟碳和其他元素结合形成合金的那些金属,比其他金属发现有更大的用途。

ferrous metals
What are ferrous metals?
Metals consisting of iron combined with some other elements are known as ferrous metals.
“Ferrous” is an adjective used to indicate the presence of iron, but why ferrous metals are called as “black metals” , are they really black?
Only three types of ferrous metals: iron, manganese (锰) and chromium (铬 ). And they are not black! Pure iron is silver; manganese is silver; chromium is gray. The surface of iron is often covered with a black layer of iron oxide.
ferrous metals
What are nonferrous metals?
All the other metals are called nonferrous metals.
Many nonferrous metals are very important, but used much less than ferrous metals, why?
Because ferrous metals are much cheaper.
alloy
Do you know what is “alloy”?
Definition: A material that has metallic properties and is composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal (i.e. steel is an alloy of carbon in iron; stainless steel is an alloy of carbon, chromium (铬) and sometimes nickel (镍) in iron.)

metallurgy
What is metallurgy?
Metallurgy is the art of working metals, the whole process of separating them from other matters in the ore, smelting (熔炼) , refining, and parting them; sometimes, in a narrower sense, only the process of extracting metals from their ores.

Metallic and Nonmetallic Materials
Metallic and Nonmetallic Materials(para1.)
Brass is the term used for alloys of copper and zinc. Typically it is more than 50% copper and from 5 to 20% zinc, in comparison to bronze which is principally an alloy of copper and tin. Despite this distinction, some types of brasses are called bronzes.
Brass has a yellow color, somewhat similar to gold. It is relatively resistant to tarnishing, and is often used as decoration.
Bronze refers to a broad range of copper alloys, usually with tin as the main additive, but sometimes with other elements such as phosphorus (磷) , manganese( 锰) , aluminum, or silicon (硅) . It is strong and tough, and has myriad uses in industry.

Powder Metallurgy
the definition for the term” “ powder metallurgy”“ The art of producing metal powders and objects shaped from individual, mixed, or alloyed metal powders, with or without the inclusion of nonmetallic constituents, by pressing or molding objects which may be simultaneously or subsequently heated to produce a coherent mass, either without fusion, or with the fusion of a low melting constituent only.”对粉末冶金所下的定义如下:粉末冶金是制造金属粉末并将单一的、混合的或合金化的粉末用成型的方法制成制品的技术。这一制造过程可添加或不添加非金属成分;可通过加压或模压成型;可在压制时同时加热或在压制后再进行加热,能使金属粉末形成一个粘结牢固的整体;加热过程中粉末可不熔化,或只有低熔点成分熔化。
Powder Metallurgy
The development of powder metallurgy(para.2)
Definition of sintering: the pressing and heating of powdered materials close to their melting point to create a solid shape. Sintering creates materials with very uniform contents.
Two unique advantages (para.3)
Advantage 1: Advantage 2:
Unique Advantages
Powder metallurgy is a basic shape-producing method for practically all metals, in direct competition with other methods. In addition, for many refractory materials, both metals and nonmetals, powder metallurgy is the only practical means of shape production. Tungsten is typical of the refractory metals; it has a melting point of 3400°C , and no satisfactory mold or crucible ( 炉缸) material exist for using conventional casting techniques at this temperature. For some other metals, possible to melt, impurities picked up by the liquid from the containers would be undesirable, and powder metallurgy offers the most economical means of obtaining solid shapes.
Processing steps
While theoretically any crystalline material ( 晶体材料) may be fabricated by powder metallurgy, the production of suitable has presented restrictions in many cases, either because of difficulty in obtaining adequate purity or because of economic reasons.
Paraphrase the sentence.
After selection and blending of the powder and manufacture of a die for the shape to be produced, the powder is pressed to size and shape.
选择和配制好粉末并制成具有所需产品形状的模具后, 就把粉末压制成符合尺寸和形状的产品。

Translation
Powder metallurgy is the process of blending fine powdered materials, pressing them into a desired shape (compacting), and then heating the compressed material in a controlled atmosphere to bond the material (sintering). The powder metallurgy process generally consists of four basic steps: (1) powder manufacture, (2) powder blending,(3) compacting, (4) sintering. Compacting is generally performed at room temperature, and the elevated-temperature process of sintering is usually conducted at atmospheric pressure. Optional secondary processing often follows to obtain special properties or enhanced precision.
Exercise
Exercise优点: 1 、绝大多数难熔金属及多孔材料只能用粉末冶金方法来制造。 2 、由于粉末冶金方法能压制成最终尺寸的压坯,而不需要或很少需要随后的机械加工,故能大大节约金属,降低产品成本。 3 、由于粉末冶金工艺在材料生产过程中并不熔化材料,也就不怕混入由坩埚等带来的杂质,故有可能制取高纯度的材料。 4 、粉末冶金适宜于生产同一形状而数量多的产品,用粉末冶金法制造能大大降低生产成本。
