AI materials scientist
Tests material samples for tolerance under tension, compression, and shear. Determines ways to strengthen or combine materials for use in products.
Materials scientist · What it does
Three tasks it takes off your hands
- Test material samples for tolerance under tension, compression, and shear.
- Determine ways to strengthen or combine materials for use in products.
- Test metals to determine conformance to specifications of mechanical strength.
Where these come from
The tasks of “Materials Scientists” (O*NET 19-2032.00), as O*NET lists them:
- Test material samples for tolerance under tension, compression, and shear to determine the cause of metal failures.
- Determine ways to strengthen or combine materials or develop new materials with new or specific properties for use in a variety of products and applications.
- Test metals to determine conformance to specifications of mechanical strength, strength-weight ratio, ductility, magnetic and electrical properties, and resistance to abrasion, corrosion, heat, and cold.
