Features: This book is a national 21st-century curriculum textbook. It focuses on the failure modes of zero(structural) components under different service conditions and their performance requirements, as well as the material knowledge and fundamental theories that mechanical designers and manufacturers must possess. It introduces the composition, microstructure, cold and hot processing (or synthesis) techniques, and performance characteristics and application ranges of various engineering materials, and illustrates with examples how to select materials reasonably based on the different service conditions and performance requirements of zero(structural) components. The book is divided into thirteen chapters, including failure analysis of mechanical parts, carbon steel, heat treatment of steel, alloy steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and alloys, polymer materials, ceramic materials, composite materials, functional materials, new techniques for material modification, material selection and process routes for parts, and the application of engineering materials in typical machinery. To help students think, review, and consolidate their knowledge, review questions are provided at the end of each chapter. The book cites the national new standards and strives to strengthen the foundation, highlight key points, emphasize applications, and broaden adaptability. This textbook is primarily intended for undergraduate students in various disciplines such as mechanical engineering, energy and power engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering, engineering mechanics, and management engineering, with a reference teaching hours of 50. It can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in mechanical design and manufacturing.
