6 Nonferrous Metals Flashcards
Aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and beryllium are all examples of this type of nonferrous alloy
Light Alloy
Copper, zinc, nickel, tin, and lead base are known as this kind of alloy
Heavy Alloy
The most important structural nonferrous metal is
Aluminum
The loss of ductility near the melting point is known as
Hot shortness
The term annealing, when used with reference to pure aluminum or one of the solid-state solution alloys, can be interpreted to mean
Recrystallization
NDT method that is in routine use for heat treatment control and alloy sorting
Eddy Current
Copper containing zinc is known as
Brass
Copper containing tin is known as
Bronze
Tin and lead improve machinability and castability in
Copper
Inconel and Monel are
Nickel Alloys
The lightest alloy available is
Beryllium
Alloy with a close-packed hexagonal structure that has a high rate of strain is
Magnesium
Magnesium components used in aircraft and similar applications are inspected nondestructively usually by
Radiography and Penetrant
Plating or coating with zinc is known as
Galvanizing
Because of low strength to weight ratio this alloy is seldom used in critical applications that would warrant NDT
Zinc
This metal has the highest strength to weight ratio of any known
Beryllium
This alloy works best at high temperatures
Nickel alloys
The cost of reduction of this metal is approximately 100 times that of iron ore
Titanium
Gold, platinum and other of these metals have high chemical inertness
Noble metals
Plastics are all
Polymers
The smallest unit structure, or molecule, that identifies the chemical involved is called a
Monomer
Process that includes heat, light, pressure, and agitation of monomers made to join and grow into a much larger molecules is known as
Polymerization
Type of polymerization that takes place in which cross-linking occurs between adjacent chains is known as
Thermo-setting
Plastic that have a degree of polymerization controls in the initial manufacture of the plastic raw material, or resin
Thermoplastic
