Metals are dense because they
have heavy atoms and close
packing; ceramics have lower
densities than metals because they
contain light atoms, either C, N or
O; polymers have low densities
because they consist of light atoms
in chains.

The density clearly depends on the
mass of the atoms, their size and
the way they are packed.

The reciprocal of the density is the
specific volume v, while the product
of v and the relative atomic mass W
is known as the atomic volume Ω.

Density defined as the mass per
unit volume of a material, increases
regularly with increasing atomic
numbers in each sub-group.

2. propriedades térmicas: expansão térmica
The change in dimensions with temperature is usually expressed in terms of the linear coefficient of
expansion, given by:
α = (1/l)(dl/dT)
where l is the original length of the specimen and T is the absolute temperature.
Because of the anisotropic nature of crystals, the value of α usually varies with the direction of
measurement and even in a particular crystallographic direction the dimensional change with temperature
may not always be uniform.
The change in volume with temperature is important in many metallurgical operations such as casting,
welding and heat treatment. Of particular importance is the volume change associated with the melting or,
alternatively, the freezing phenomenon since this is responsible for many of the defects, both of a
macroscopic and microscopic size, which exist in crystals.
Most metals increase their volume by about 3% on melting, although those metals which have
crystal structures of lower coordination, such as bismuth, antimony or gallium, contract on
melting.
This volume change is quite small, and while the liquid structure is more open than the solid structure, it is
clear that the liquid state resembles the solid state more closely than it does the gaseous phase.
For the simple metals the latent heat of melting, which is merely the work done in separating the atoms
from the close-packed structure of the solid to the more open liquid structure, is only about one thirtieth of
the latent heat of evaporation, while the electrical and thermal conductivities are reduced only to threequarters to one-half of the solid state values.
2. propriedades térmicas: capacidade calorífica ou calor
específico
The specific heat is another thermal
property important in the processing
operations of casting or heat
treatment, since it determines the
amount of heat required in the
process. Thus, the specific heat
(denoted by Cp, when dealing with
the specific heat at constant
pressure) controls the increase in
temperature, dT, produced by the
addition of a given quantity of heat,
dQ, to one gram of matter so that:
dQ = Cp dT
The specific heat of a metal is due
almost entirely to the vibrational
motion of the ions. However, a small
part of the specific heat is due to the
motion of the free electrons, which
becomes important at high
temperatures, especially in transition
metals with electrons in incomplete
shells.

When the specific heat is experimentally
determined, it is the specific heat at
constant
pressure, Cp, which is measured,

3. propriedades elétricas
One of the most important electronic properties
of metals is the electrical conductivity, σ , and
the reciprocal of the conductivity (known as the
resistivity, ρ), defined as:
ρ = RA / l
where R is the resistance, l is the length and A is
the cross-sectional area.
A characteristic feature of a metal is its high
electrical conductivity which arises from the ease
with which the electrons can migrate through the
lattice.
The high thermal conduction of metals also has
a similar explanation, and the Wiedmann–Franz
law shows that the ratio of the electrical and
thermal conductivities is nearly the same for all
metals at the same temperature.
Since conductivity arises from the motion of
conduction electrons through the lattice,
resistance must be caused by the scattering of
electron waves by any kind of irregularity in the
lattice arrangement. Irregularities can arise from
any one of several sources, such as
temperature, alloying, deformation or nuclear
irradiation, since all will disturb, to some extent,
the periodicity of the lattice.
3. propriedades elétricas
The effect of
temperature is
particularly important
and, as shown in Figure
6.19, the resistance
increases linearly with
temperature above
about 100 K up to the
melting point.
On melting, the
resistance
increases markedly
because of the
exceptional disorder
of the liquid state.

Hooke’s law - elastic deformation
• Elastic deformation is not permanent; it means that when
the load is removed, the part returns to its original shape
and dimensions.
• For most metals, the elastic region is linear. For some
materials, including metals such as cast iron, polymers,
and concrete, the elastic region is non-linear.
• If the behavior is linear elastic, or nearly linear-elastic,
Hooke’s Law may be applied:

elastic properties of materials
• Poisson’s ratio: When a metal is strained in one direction, there
are corresponding strains in all other directions.
• For a uniaxial tension strain, the lateral strains are constrictive.
• Conversely, for a uniaxial compressive strain, the lateral strains
are expansive.
• i.e.; the lateral strains are opposite in sign to the axial strain.
• The ratio of lateral to axial strains is known as Poisson’s ratio,
υ.
