1.3 Development of materials
Materials themselves are foundations and
supports of material civilization, and they also support the developments of
other new technology in the exploitation, refinement, transformation and
transportation of energy resource and the transmission, storage application and
control of information cannot be apart from material technology; and structure
materials and functional material are necessary for space technology, ocean
engineering, biological engineering and system engineering.
Materials are always faced with the choice of
society, and this choice depends on the requirement of society. Five criterions
are required to decide whether one material can be accepted by society:
resource, energy resource, environmental protection, economic and performance.
When the restrictions of resource, energy resource, environment are satisfied,
the property and economic efficiency material should also be concerned.
The development of material is in competitive
conditions all the time. One of them is the competition between metal
materials, ceramic materials and high polymer materials; the other one is
different types of competition in the categories of materials, such as
competition between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals, but they all belong
to the metal. The average weight of a car in America was 1 500 kg in
1980 and reduced to 1 020 kg in 1990. The proportion of cast
iron dropped from 15% to 11%. The amount of cast iron in one car dropped from
225 kg to 112 kg; the proportion of aluminum
alloy rose from 4% to 9%; the proportion of high polymer materials rose from 6%
to 9%. Automobile engines which adopt ceramic materials replaced automobile
engines which adopt metal materials, which bring significant economic effect.
Ceramic can withstand much higher temperature than metal, thus burning
efficiency of ceramic can be improved, and the weight of automobile engine can
be decreased at the same time. Because of that, the development of ceramic
material based engine is blooming all around world.
Besides, symbiotic relationships between
materials, can also be mutual promotion. For example, slag is byproduct of
blast furnace iron making, but slag can be raw material of cement; the
byproduct of coking-artificial coal, is an important chemical material.
Concerning the further development of the
material, there are two aspects to disscuss, one is the improvement of
traditional materials, while the other one is the development of new materials.
