| Your manager wants you to write a formal report on the potential in service conditions that may have caused material failure and the structural properties of the given metals, and non metal that you have been investigating (from Part 1).You should consider the effect of degradation on the appearance of the given materials and gather qualitative feedback from colleagues on the potential causes of failure. This feedback/data will be presented, using appropriate graphical software within your report. Your report should reflect on the application of the scientific method (demonstrated in your laboratory report) for the testing you carried out. There should also be an analysis of all the graphical data presented (qualitative and quantitative information from Part 1 and Part 2).
You should ensure that your report includes the following elements: • Describe the structural properties of metals and non-metals with reference to their material properties (e.g mechanical properties, electrical properties, thermal properties and physical properties) • Explain the types of degradation found in metals and non-metals • Make a formal assessment of elastic, electrical and magnetic hysteresis in different materials (metals and non-metals) • Compare and evaluate material properties of metal and non-metallic materials compared with values obtained through destructive and non-destructive test method |
