About materials: classification and uses notes
GoConqr OriginalMaterials: Classification and Uses notes
These notes cover materials and their properties in several ways. The materials and components note introduces hardwoods and softwoods, while Alloying Metals/Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams looks at why metals are alloyed. Other notes cover plastics, manufactured boards and finishing techniques for graphics products.
For a broad review, start with Science test review. It brings together mechanical properties, metal treatments and plastics. For a closer look at a particular topic, the tensile testing graphs note covers stress, strain and load extension graphs. There is also a note on ductile and brittle fracture.
Revise with notes
Read a section, then try explaining its terms without looking. Return to the note to check what you missed. If you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page; use a quiz there when you are ready to test your recall.
Pick a topic and open a note to explore it.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a good place to start?
Science test review is a useful starting point if you want to look across several topics. It covers mechanical properties, metal treatments and plastics. For a narrower topic, the materials and components note introduces types of wood, including hardwoods and softwoods.
Are the notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed on this page is free to open and study without an account. The notes were made by GoConqr users. A free account can also save quiz scores and lets you make your own notes, quizzes, mind maps and flashcards.
What topics do the notes cover?
The notes cover woods, metals, plastics and manufactured boards, as well as material properties and uses. Some focus on testing and behaviour, including tensile testing graphs and fracture. Others look at atomic bonding, metal treatments and finishing techniques for graphics products.
