Materials Selection

Back to the Brits and their accents.

I've no clue, by the way, who the Advanced Metallic Systems CDT is, though a brief bit of research tells me that the CDT is for the Centre (their spelling, not mine) for Doctoral Training.

Here we get an overview of some of the concerns that go into material selection - cost, performance, lifespan, corrosion, wear-resistance - as well as a few examples of materials used and why they were chosen (car windshields, ties, car bodies) and general mentions that new materials must be developed to meet new requirements for assemblies.
