Explain how the properties and structure of different given engineering materials affect their behaviour in given engineering applications
1) Machinery such as farm equipment and packaging machines uses shear pins made from high carbon steel to prevent overload if something becomes jammed. Explain the reasons for choosing this material.
2) Titanium alloy (code Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo) is widely used for aircraft engine components and chemical plant equipment. Explain why it performs well in conditions of high stress and high temperature.
For each answer you must explain how the properties and structure of the material affect its performance.
