Assignment # MR – Materials Report

Gold

The purpose of this education is to prepare for a professional career. Therefore, ALL assignments are expected to have a professional presentation. This assignment provides one opportunity for students to explore the materials commonly found in industrial manufacturing processes – you will be assigned a material to investigate.

This assignment is particularly prescriptive, and the specific requirements are listed below.

Assignment Requirements:

Your report will consist of EXACTLY three (3) pages appropriately formatted:

All pages: Margins (all pages): Left 1.00", Right 1.00", Top 1.00", and Bottom 1.00".

A page header in 10 pt Arial typeface with the following information:

Last name, First Name Material name Spr17

Page 1: A table of the material's properties to include, but not limited to, the following:

• Physical: Specific gravity and volume, density, etc.

• Mechanical: Tensile (yield, ultimate, & fracture) and compressive strengths, tensile modulus, hardness, Izod impact strength, elongation, wear resistance, etc.

• Metallurgical: Alloy(s), heat treatments (tempers), forms, malleability, machinability, etc.

• Thermal: Thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, deflection temperature, transition temp., flammability class (UL), etc.

• Chemical: Resistance to sunlight, acids, alkalis, salt water, petroleum
  products, etc.

• Electrical: Volume resistivity, arc resistance, dielectric strength, etc.

Page 2: A material overview in paragraph format to include, but not limited to:

• A brief history of the material (discovery & early usage).

• Advantages of the material.

• Disadvantages of the material.

• End user fabrication methods and characteristics, including special handling.

• A list or table of typical/recommended applications.

Page 3: A bibliography with a minimum of 3 citations in APA format (see CBAT Language Skills Handbook). NOTE: Wikipedia is NOT a legitimate source.

Grading: Organization/Presentation (30%), Content and Sources (35%) and Grammar & Layout (35%)
