Engineering Materials and their selection - Key to Successful Design

Date : 6 to 7 October, 2026   Location / Mode : Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

INTRODUCTION

Engineering design depends on materials that are shaped, joined and Fnished by processes. Design requirements define the performance required of the materials, expressed as target values for certain design-limiting properties. Perhaps one of the most important tasks that an engineer may be called upon to perform is that of materials selection with regard to component design. Inappropriate or improper decisions can be disastrous from both economic and safety perspectives. Therefore, it is essential that the engineers become familiar with and versed in the procedures and protocols that are normally employed in this process.

Understanding materials, their properties and behaviour is fundamental to engineering design, and a key application of materials science. Understanding the procedures for material selection in mechanical design is very important in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials available.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organising Webinar on” Engineering Materials and their selection - Key to Successful Design”.
