Materials Selection
Pick the right material
Materials selection weighs mechanical properties, cost, environment, manufacturability, and safety to pick suitable materials for designs.
- strength
- weight
- corrosion
- cost
- manufacturability
Define Requirements
List loads, environment, lifespan, and regulatory needs.
Compare Options
Evaluate metals, polymers, ceramics, or composites against the requirements.
Decide
Balance performance, cost, availability, and safety margins.
