The paper reviews the influence of material characteristics on the manufacturing process and product performance. Results of some previous experimental studies on hot machining, plasma surface coating and laser surface treatment, semi solid heat treatment and clean steel production are compiled, analyzed and discussed. In each case, a correlation is observed between the material characteristics and its response to the manufacturing process.
