Describes a procedure for materials selection in mechanical design, allowing the appropriate materials for a given application to be identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available.

This thesis was carried out as a study of Material selection in mechanical design of cutting tool The objectives of this study are to perform material selection process for find the best material that can be use as cutting tools material, compare the alternative method with conventional method and use Computer-aided selection software (CES) to find the best process for cutting tools manufacturing. Weighted property method as alternative method and cost per unit property method as conventional method was performing for finding the suitable material for cutting tools. The material selected from these two methods was compared to find the best selected material. Before performing weighted property method, material performance index, M, was finding first. To finding the materials performance index, M, derivation of basic formula like stiffness and cross section must perform first. Function of materials performance index, M, was plotted on the Young's modulus - density chart and wear rate- hardness chart. In cost per unit property method, the best material was selected based on the smaller value of cost per unit property. After selection by using cost per unit property has done, weighted properties method was performing. The material selection is making by referring to the performance index. The highest value of performance index represents the best material for cutting tools. Lastly, computer Aided selection process was used to find the suitable manufacturing process for selected material.

Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Sixth Edition, winner of a 2018 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty), describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Recognized as the world’s leading materials selection textbook, users will find a unique and innovative resource for students, engineers, and product/industrial designers. Selected revisions to this new edition ensure the book will continue to meet the needs of all those whose studies or careers involve selecting the best material for the project at hand. Includes new or expanded coverage of materials selection in areas such as additive manufacturing, biomedical manufacturing, digital manufacturing and cyber-manufacturing Includes an update to the hybrid chapter, which has been enhanced with expanded hybrid case Presents improved pedagogy, including new worked examples throughout the text, case studies, homework problems, and mini-projects to aid in student learning Maintains its hallmark features of full-color presentation with numerous Ashby materials, selection charts, high-quality illustrations, and a focus on sustainable design

This book presents topics on the basics of materials selection and design which will give a better understanding on the selection methods and then find suitable materials for the applications. This book draws the simple and straightforward quantitative methods followed by knowledge-based expert system approach with real and tangible case studies to show how undergraduate or post-graduate students or engineers can apply their knowledge on materials selection and design. Topics discussed in this book contain special features such as illustration, tables and tutorial questions for easy understanding. A few published books or documents are available, hence this book will be very useful for those who use (or want to use) materials selection approach without the advantages of having had comprehensive knowledge or expertise in this materials’ world.
