Difference between alloy and composite? Alloy :- is solid solution of two or more constituent where physical significance of each constituent is not generally possible but it constituent has effect on overall properties. Composite :- is material with two or more constituent where physical significance of each is clearly possible but it can student has effect on overall properties of materials. Definition of composite materials . A material that satisfies the following condition is a composite material. 1. It is manufactured. 2. It consists of two or more physically and/or chemically distinct suitably arranged or distributed phase with an interface separating them. 3. It has characteristic that are not depicted by any of the components in isolation. What is solid solutions? A solid solution forms when the solute atoms are added to the host material, the crystal structure is maintained and no new structures are formed. Example of composite materials . 1. Natural occuring composites are:-...
First I want to tell you that I am a mechanical engineer. I choose to write about mechanical engineering branch because there is lack of authorised article written about this topic. Let's start by defining Engineering- Engineering is the profession in which the knowledge of mathematics and natural science candid by study experience and practice is applied with judgement to develop ways to utilise economically the materials and the force of nature for the benefit of mankind. In simple words,the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the source of energy in nature and made useful to people is called engineering. Also the application of science and technology to solve the problems that society faces or to provide products which society desire comes under engineering definition. Mechanical engineering is part of engineering. It is divided into a number of subjects.They are engineering mechanics, strength of materials, hydraulics and flu...
