TL;DRAbstract

When selecting materials the designer must be aware of those quasi-legal parameters against which his choice will be evaluated. He will initially generate a specification for his product: this will list comprehensively the technical and environmental requirements of the product for which materials must be found. Standards are then usually set up, defining technical performance limitations of candidate materials, processes and engineering practices, and will be used to validate final choices.
