A

Malleable iron

17
Q

is also called ductile iron, spheroidal graphite iron, and spheroidal graphite cast iron, is graphite-rich cast iron.

A

Nodular cast iron

17
Q

have higher strength, heat-resistance and greater wear-resistance etc.

A

Alloy cast iron

18
Q

what are the 3 groups of steels?

A

stainless steels
tool steel
special steels

19
Q

These steels are called stainless because they do not corrode or rust easily.

A

Stainless Steel

20
Q

Stainless steels are further divided into the following three categories

A

Ferritic
Martensitic
Austenitic

21
Q

These steels contain a maximum of 0.15% carbon, 6-12% chromium, 0.5% nickel besides iron and usual amounts of manganese and silicon.

A

Ferritic Stainless Steel

22
Q

These stainless have 12-18% chromium but contain higher carbon percentage (0.15-1.2%).

A

Martensitic Stainless Steel

23
Q

These are the most important and costliest among all stainless steels.

A

Austenitic Stainless Steel

24
Q

refers to different types of strong carbon and alloy steels that are especially suitable for making tools like reamers, drills, machine dies, and hand tools since they are very hard, resistant to wearing down and deformation, and can keep a sharp edge even when subjected to elevated temperatures.

A

Tool Steel

25
Q

They are used for railway points and crossings, and with usage they become more wear-resistant.

A

Manganese Steels

26
Q

makes the steel highly resistant to corrosion, non-magnetic, and having very low coefficient of thermal expansion.

A

Nickel Steels

27
Q

makes steel corrosion resistant and increases its UTS.

28
Q

A steel containing 0.05% carbon, about 0.3% Mn and 3.4% of silicon possesses extremely low magnetic hysteresis and is used widely for making laminations of electrical machines.

A

Silicon Steels.

29
Q

Kinds of heat treatment given to carbon steels

A

Annealing
Normalizing
Hardening
Tempering

29
Q

is a heat treatment process that is used to make more ductile and tough after it has been subjected to thermal or mechanical hardening processes.

A

Normalizing

29
Q

The purpose of ________________ is to soften the material.

30
Q

involves heating and soaking.

31
Q

means giving up a certain amount of hardness but shedding a great deal of brittleness acquired in the process of hardening.

32
Q

Only those carbon steels can be hardened whose carbon content is about 0.25% or more.

A

Case Hardening

33
Q

They are softer and there more malleable.

A

Non-Ferrous Metals and Alloy

34
Q

is a corrosion resistant metal of an attractive reddish brown color.

35
Q

is a difficult to extract from its main called bauxite.

36
Q

It has an attractive silvery white color.

37
Q

is a heavy metal with dull grey appearance.

38
Q

possesses a bluish grey metallic appearance,

39
Q

is a alloy of copper and zinc

40
Q

is an alloy of copper and tin although commercial bronzes may contain other elements besides tin.

41
Q

Give the Varieties of tin bronzes that are commonly used

A

Phosphor-Bronze
Leaded-Bronze
Gun-metal
Bell-metal

42
Q

Addition of 0.5% phosphorous to tin bronze results in production of phosphorous bronze.

A

Phosphor-Bronze

43
Q

is actually a source of weakness but adds to machinability and has self lubrication properties.

A

Leaded-Bronze

44
Q

This bronze is used for bearing bushes glands, pumps, valves etc.

45
Q

Type of bronze contain no tin. It possesses good strength and good corrosion resistance. Color: golden yellow. Often used for jewelry. Composition: 14%

A

Aluminum Bronze

45
Q

It is a tin bronze but having a very high percentage of tin (20-25%). It gives a good tinkling sound on being struck with a hammer.

A

Bell-metal

46
Q

Type of bronze contain no tin. Possesses extremely good corrosion resistance. Can be cold worked and strain-hardened. Used for boiler fitting and marine fittings. Composition: 1-4%

A

Silicon Bronze

47
Q

Type of bronze contain no tin. It is essentially a brass which manganese has been added. It is used for ship’s propellers. Composition: 40%

A

Manganese Bronze

48
Q

Type of bronze contain no tin that very costly. It contains about 2% Be. It has very good mechanical properties and can be cold worked and age-hardened. It is mainly used for bellows, bourdon gauge tubes etc.

A

Beryllium Bronze

49
Q

They are extensively used for marine fittings. They also possess good strength, hardness and ductility.

A

Cupro-nickels

50
Q

It is a cupro-nickel to which zinc has been added.

A

German silver

52
Q

Its composition is 68% nickel, 30% copper, 1% iron, remainder manganese etc.

A

Monel metal

52
Q

Alloys principally containing, chromium and iron. Used in electrical industry.

A

Inconel and incoloy

52
Q

Alloy of nickel and chromium, which is used as heat resistant electrical wire in furnaces and heating devices like geysers, electric iron etc.
