FURN - MAT - Metals Flashcards
a type of metal that is composed of mainly iron with small additions of other metals or substances
Ferrous Metals
a type of metal that contains little or no iron
Non-Ferrous Metals
type of metal that is a combination of two or more metals and other substances
Alloys
10 properties of metal (ABCDEFHMTW)
- Age-hardening
- Brittleness
- Conductivity
- Ductility
- Elasticity
- Fusibility
- Hardness
- Malleability
- Tenacity (or cohesion)
- Work-hardening
one of the properties of metal which is a slow hardening process
Age-hardening
one of the properties of metal that has its ability to break under a sharp blow
Brittleness
one of the properties of metal that has the capacity to transmit heat and electricity
Conductivity
one of the properties of metal; ability to be stretched into fine wire without fracture
Ductility
one of the properties of metal; has the ability to regain original shape after deformation
Elasticity
one of the properties of metal that becomes liquid when heated
Fusibility
one of the properties of metal that it has resistance to deformation
Hardness
a property of metal that has the capacity to be extended in all directions without fracturing by rolling, hammering, or beating
Malleability
one of the properties of metal that has resistance to a pulling force
Tenacity (or Cohesion)
one of the properties of metal; hardening if metal while it is being hammered or bent
Work-hardening
a ferrous metal that has iron with traces of silicate ; easily worked and is tough and ductile
Applications: decorative screens, gates
Wrought Iron
