MATERIAL SELECTION

The objective of this assignment to study and understand the parameters required for selecting materials for the project. In CES EDUpack, we used the above paramters and found a suitable material for the project.

CES EduPack

Granta EduPack, formerly CES EduPack, is a unique set of teaching resources to support materials education. Granta EduPack provides support to enhance undergraduate materials education. EduPack includes a database of materials and process information, materials selection tools and a range of supporting resources.

STEPS

1. Open the CES EduPack and select Level 1 confinguration of beginers and select Materials.

2. Select the criteria as New - limit stage.

3. As discussed with sir , we required a material with higher density of approx 10,000kg/m3.

4. As we planned to cast the petals of our installation, we required a material with good thermal conductivity.

5. With these criteria we fond that copper alloy with be a suitable material for our project.

With this we decided to use Brass - a copper -Zinc alloy ( Cu - Zn ) for our project.
