refers to those materials whose main constituent is iron.
Ferrous
melting points of iron
1540°c
melting points of iron

is an alloy of iron and carbon, the percentage of carbon theoretically varies from 0-2%
Steel
Classification of Steel
Plain Carbon and alloy
________________ is that steel which the only alloying element present is carbon
Plain Carbon Steel
________________ is that steel which the only alloying element present is carbon
Plain Carbon Steel
low carbon or dead mild steel having carbon below ________
0.15
mild steel having carbon between __________
0.15-0.3%
medium carbon steel having carbon between _________
0.3-0.7%
High carbon steels having carbon content above _______
0.7% ( the higher practical limit of C% IS 1.3%)
It has got very good weldability and ductility.
Dead mild steel
It is used very extensively for structural work.
Mild steel
It has little weldability but is stronger and has better wearing property the mild steel.
Medium carbon steel
It is used for hand tools like cold working dies, hammer, boiler maker’s tool, wood working tools, hand taps and reamers, filters, razors, shear blades etc.
High carbon steels
It is the purest form of iron
Wrought Iron
contain more the 2% carbon, which is the theoretical limit for steels.
Cast irons
Varieties of Cast Iron
Grey cast iron
White cast iron
Malleable cast iron
Nodular cast iron
Alloy cast iron
is very widely used in the forms of casting.
Grey cast iron
iron has 2 to 2.5% carbon and most of it is in the form of cementite.
White cast iron
