Assignment On Engineering Materials (Glass) Introduction Glass is a non-crystalline solid material. Glasses are typically brittle‚ and often optically transparent. The most prevalent type of glass‚ used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels‚ is soda-lime glass‚ made of about 75% silica (SiO2) plus Na2O‚ CaO‚ and several minor additives. Often‚ the term glass is used in a restricted sense to refer to this specific use. [pic] [pic]Roman Cage Cup from the 4th century A.D. In

SMART Materials A SMART material is a material that is affected by outside influence. Polymorph * Type of thermoplastic (can be reshaped many times). * Normally supplied in form of granules or small plastic beads. * Low fusing temperature of around 60°C. This means it can be reduced to a mouldable condition by immersion in hot water. * Once fused turns from opaque to clear. * Heating above 65°C is dangerous as it will become a sticky-adherent mass‚ similar to hot-melt glue

1 Introduction Waste glass is of great concern in some developed countries‚ particularly in the urban areas. This is because of the amount of waste material generated from both municipal and construction sources‚ and the lack of waste disposal areas to receive the material. Countries like Japan‚ the United States of America‚ and Australia have taken the initiative to invest in the recycling of glass in order to mitigate the ever increasing amount of waste glass generated over the years.

Engineering Materials Week 12-Interactivity 17.4 (a) From the galvanic series cite three metals or alloys that may be used to galvanically protect nickel in the active state. Tin‚ lead and cast iron may be used. (b) Sometimes galvanic corrosion is prevented by making an electrical contact between both metals in the couple and a third metal that is anodic to these other two. Using the galvanic series‚ name one metal that could be used to protect a copper-aluminum galvanic couple. Zinc may be used
