Materials Science Quiz 2 Flashcards
Metals or alloys having high percentage of iron
These Materials are used where high strength is required at relatively low cost
Ferrous Materials
3 types of ferrous materials
- Steel - Alloy of iron and carbon (1.5 %)
- Cast Iron - Alloy of iron and carbon (4.5%)
- Wrought Iron - Almost pure Iron (99.9%)
Classification of Steels
- Low Carbon Steel
- Medium Carbon Steel
- High Carbon Steel
Classification of Iron
- Grey Cast Iron
- White Cast Iron
- Malleable Cast Iron
- High Duty Cast Iron
- Alloy Cast Iron
Metals Other than Iron
In Pure Form, they are used with other materials in order to obtain a certain property like corrosion resistance, ductility, hardness, etc.
Non-Ferrous Materials
Deformation of temperature high enough for recrytallization
Large Deformations
Metal Fabrication (Hot Working)
Deformations below recrystallization
Strain Hardening occurs
Small deformations
Metal Fabrication (Cold Working)
Types of Forming (Metal Fabrication)
- Forging
- Hammer Forging
- Press Forging
- Drawing
- Rolling
- Extrusion
Deformation process in which work thickness is reduced by compressive forces exerted by two opposing rolls
Rolling
A cold working process in which the work piece is pulled through a tapered hole in a die so as to reduce its diamater
Drawing
Forming a preheated workpiece by using a force created by hydraulically driven ram causing the metal to be squeezed into the die cavity by the static pressure
Press Forging
a process used to create an objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed through a die of the desired cross-section
Extrusion
the process of producing metal/alloy component parts of desired shapes by pouring the molten metal/alloy into a prepared mould and then allowing the metal/alloy to cool and solidify
Casting
a process of using sand as the primary material to mold various metallic products
Sand Casting
includes wax pressure, wax repair, group tree, dip slurry, wax melting, casting metal liquid and post processing process
Investment Casting
3 stages of investment casting
Stage 1 - Mold formed by pouring plaster of paris around wax pattern
Stage 2 - Wax is melted and then poured from mold-hollow mold cavity remains
Stage 3 - Molten Metal is poured into mold and allowed to solidify
A metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity
Die Casting
A process of joining similar and dissimilar metals or other material by application of heat
Welding
Five Major factors of weldability
- Melting Point
- Thermal Conductivity
- Thermal Expansion
- Surface Condition
- Change in microstructure
Welding Classification
- Plastic Welding - piece of metal is heated to plastic state then forced together by external pressure
- Fusion Welding - material is heated together into molten state then solidified
- Cold Welding - applies pressure to the joint that result in diffusion or inter-surface molecular fusion
