The process of selection and characterization of materials involves identification, design and optimization
of engineering materials. The proper material have to be selected and designed according to the criteria set by
the service conditions and desired mechanical and physical properties. Then, the team makes an effort to optimize
the production parameters by considering sensitivity of the parts, economic aspects and etc. The selection of materials
is among the fundamental sciences and is widely used in other branches of material science as well. This area of knowledge
is highly regarded by experts, since the proper selection of materials is important in a wide variety of components such as
equipment and components used in the automotive, medical, aerospace, petrochemical, power, mining, cement industry, etc.
Therefore, acquisition of such knowledge is needed to examine the metallurgical and mechanical views. Lots of experiences
and sufficient knowledge of the subject is a must in this field of science. Accordingly, the integration of knowledge,
experience, and advanced research provides guidelines
towards achieving an industry with minimum possible failures. This job should be referred to experts and counselors.
