industrimaterial
Industrimaterial is a general term used to describe materials employed in industrial production and construction. It includes raw materials and semi-finished products used to manufacture goods and build infrastructure. The term covers a range of material classes and performance criteria.
Major classes are metals and alloys (such as steel and aluminum), polymers (thermoplastics and thermosets), ceramics,
Metals and alloys offer high strength and toughness but may require corrosion protection. Polymers provide light
Industrial materials undergo processing such as casting, forging, extrusion, rolling, machining, and additive manufacturing to meet
Applications span automotive and aerospace components, machinery and equipment, construction materials, electronics packaging, and consumer products.
Current trends include lightweighting, advanced composites, high-temperature alloys, corrosion-resistant materials, and increasing use of sustainable polymers
