TECH FOCUS:
MATERIALS
MATERIALS SELECTION
relationship between materials engineers and these
design champions will ensure an appropriate design
that satisfies all criteria.
Practically, material selection may be introduced in a
fairly late stage in the design process, when many
geometric and operating constraints have already been
settled. Although the limitations of physics and
structural engineering have already been applied at
this stage, the exploration of material selection often
seems to be the first introduction of real-world
constraint to the design. Materials are finite in their
properties, and many mechanical engineers will
preferentially target high-strength materials to make
satisfaction of structural criteria more achievable.
Design engineers must always be mindful of the
systems engineering approach, that the optimal design
will often be sub-optimal in compartmentalized areas.
For rear quarter windows, SABIC
touts its LEXAN polycarbonate (PC)
resins for creating differentiated
styling, consolidating
components, integrating
functions, and
enhancing
aerodynamics.
Based on design schedules,
material is often required to
counter-balance other design
issues, especially when other
constraints have been locked-in.
The modification of a material
choice often can make or break a
design application.
Considerations
An area often not considered is
wear or tribological interactions
between materials in a design.
Contact or movement between
parts may be subject to wear or
development of specific glaze
