Hi all,
I'm writing an assignment about materials used in the automotive industry, and need to select and describe about a dozen materials and why they are suitable for the job. I basically need a reference that I can work from as although I know a fair bit about what the materials actually are, I'm not so sure on the reasons they are chosen etc. and need a little guidance on this.
I could probably wing it on what I already know, but I want a little more depth to my assignment than 'aluminium is used for cylider heads because it is light and corrosion resistant'.
Are there any really useful sites out there (I can't find them)? I'm not doing an automotive course, it's just that the materials engineering section of my Manufacturing Engineering HND ties in with automotive engineering (they're trying to kill two birds with one stone and group us all together for ME).
Cheers!
