Lesson 5 - Metals and Metal Working Flashcards
elementary substances which are crystalline when solid, characterized by opacity, ductility, conductivity and luster
Metals
a metal having iron as base metal
Ferrous Metal
wrought iron was used for sculptures and weapons
1000 B.C
development of blast furnace
5th to 15th Century
cast iron was developed for cannons
End of 15th Century
invention of coke (coal-coke)
1700’s
wrought iron was further developed by henry cort
1784
bessemer process was introduce and began the mass production of steel
1856
Types of Ferrous Metals
Cast Iron
Wrought Iron
Steel
cast iron annealed by transforming the carbon content into graphite or removing it completely
Malleable Cast Iron
Advantages of Ferrous Metals
Sturdy and Rigid
Durable
Recyclable Material
Time Saving
High stregth to weigg ratio
Versatile
Disadvantages of Ferrous Metals
•Low tolerance to heat which requires fire proofing
•High production cost
•Deteriorates by oxidation
•Heavy
•High Thermal Expansion
crude iron that is drawn from a blast furnace and cast into pigs in preparation for conversion into cast iron, wrought iron or steel
Pig Iron
a mass of metal cast into convenient shape for storage or transportation before further processing
Ingot
round and square, more than 230cm² in cross sectional area (≈15cm x 15cm)
Blooms
round or square, less then 230cm² in cross sectional area (≈15cm x 15cm)
Billets
Types of Steel Working Methods
Hot-Working
Cold Working
Types of Hot Working
Hot-Rolled
Casting
Die Casting
Forge
Types of Cold Working
Cold-Rolled
Extrusion
Cold-Drawn
process by which formed or worked metals are treated for additional strength on for corrosion resistance
After Production Treatment
Methods of Treating Metals
Heat Treatment
Cladding/Plating
Types of Heat Treatment
Annealed
Quench
Tempered
Case-Hardening
gradual deterioration of metal, by chemical reaction, when exposed to weather, moisture or other corroding agents
Corrosion
Methods of Cladding Metals
Electroplating
Dipped/Dipping
Types of Cladding
Anodize
Chrome Plate
Galvanize
Tin Plate
Terne Plate
