Chap 5 & 6 ferrous and nonferrous materials Flashcards
Alloys that have high electrical and thermal conductivity
copper alloys
Material that are generally used in orthopedic implants
titanium alloys
Metals with very high melting points including molybdenum, niobium, tungsten, and tantalum
refractory metals
Lead, zinc and tin
low melting alloys
Metal used for radiation shielding against X-rays
lead
These alloys do not have regular crystal structures or grain boundaries but rather their atoms are packed randomly and tightly
metallic glasses
These alloys return to their original shape upon heating after being plastically deformed into various shapes at room temperature
shape memory alloys
Materials that is used in containers and packaging, Computer, tablet and smartphone casings, aircraft bodies, cooking utensils
aluminum alloys
Alloys have high strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, Used in high temperature applications, jet engine components, rockets, and nuclear power plants
nickel alloys
Gold, silver and platinum
precious metals
