This lecture covers the selection criteria for materials in microtechnology design, including structural steels, nitriding steels, composite materials, and polymers. It discusses the importance of technical and physical properties such as tensile strength, density, thermal conductivity, and hardness. The lecture also explores the influence of fatigue on material limits, safety factors, and the role of materials in ensuring the mechanical integrity of parts.
