FERROUS METALS Flashcards
Are those which contain iron as their main constituent or base metal .
EX: Carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, alloy steel
FERROUS METALS
are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted
IRON ORE
ALLOYING ELEMENTS
ALUMINUM, SULFUR, CHROMIUM, NICKEL, COPPER, MANGANESE, SILICON, MOLYBDENUM, VANADIUM
AIDS NITRIDING, RESTRICTS GRAIN FROTH
ALUMINUM
ADDS MACHINABILITY, REDUCES WELDABILITY AND DUCTILITY
SULFUR
INCREASES HARDENABILITY, RESISTANCE TO CORROSION AND HIGH TEMP STRENGHT
CHROMIUM
AUSTENITIC STRUCTURE, HARDENABILITY AND TOUGHNESS
NICKEL
TENACIOUS OXIDE FILM
COPPER
HARDENABILITY AND AUSTENITIC STRUCTURE
MANGANESE
REMOVES OXYGEN IN STEEL MAKING
SILICON
GRAIN REFINEMENT, HARDENABILITY, HIGH TEMP
MOLYBDENUM
GRAIN REFINEMENT, HARDENABILITY
VANADIUM
BASIC FERROUS METAL
Charge with iron ore, limestone and coke
PIG IRON
A steel to which one or more alloying elements other than carbon have been deliberately added (chromium, nickel…) to achieve particular physical property
ALLOY STEEL
Variety of carbon steel and alloy steel that are particularly well suited to be made into tools
TOOL STEEL
make the steel resistant to corrosion
COATING
to further reduce the gauge and add the tin coat we commonly used in canned goods
TINNING
-make it easier to bend and form
ANNEALING
-uses special rollers to add hardness and other special finishes
TEMPERING
-collective impurities
GANGUE
-process by which impurities are removed from the ores
CONCENTRATION/ENRICHMENT
concentrated ore is subjected to a process
CALCINATION
-helps in removing moisture and organic matter
ROASTING
-extraction of iron from its ore
SMELTING
