The purpose of the GMW 14270 standard, developed by General Motors, is to clearly communicate General Motors material engineering requirements to the supplier during the bidding process. Each requirement statement for a part, component or subsystem references specifications to ensure that the proposal is based on materials suitable for the application. Specifications may include material specifications or material-related part performance specifications. In this standard, the material specification is used interchangeably with the material standard. Many requirements statements include the GMW 14270 standard as a common corporate supplement.
Essentially, the field of materials engineering has four basic elements:
In short, materials engineering involves the study, development and testing of materials required in a wide variety of manufactured products. Materials science engineering, on the other hand, involves the study of finding new uses for existing materials or using basic material types (metals, ceramics, plastics, semiconductors, and composites) to create brand new substances that meet a particular specification.
At the same time, materials engineering requires special study of materials at the atomic and electrochemical level. In addition to the design and production of materials, recycling of materials or ensuring their reliable and efficient production are also within the scope of materials engineering.
The automobile industry consumes raw materials from all over the world in the production of automobiles and auto parts. Steel, rubber, plastic, and aluminum are four commonly used products in automobiles.
A large number of component parts are used in the assembly of an automobile. Beyond the basic building blocks like engines and transmissions, there are interior parts like dashboards, seats, and ventilation, malaria, and air-conditioning systems, along with the necessary wiring to tie everything together. The materials used to manufacture these parts have changed over the years, but much has remained the same. In this respect, materials engineering still maintains its importance.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides testing services for material engineering common requirements, within the scope of the GMW 14270 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
