Advance building matrils

This document discusses advanced materials, their properties, examples, and importance in manufacturing. Advanced materials have engineered properties created through specialized processing and synthesis technologies. They generally have novel, improved properties over traditional materials like lower weight, higher strength, and better conductivity. Examples include light metals like titanium and magnesium, composites like carbon fiber and metal laminates, and advanced steels. Advanced materials are increasingly important in industries like automotive and aerospace that require improved fuel economy, performance, and reduced emissions. Their benefits include lighter weight, higher strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance, and improved heat and impact resistance compared to traditional materials. Using advanced materials provides opportunities for companies to add value and develop knowledge and experience not held by global competitors.
