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.

A

Chromium

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.

A

Annealing

30
Q

involves heating and soaking.

A

Hardening

31
Q

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

A

Tempering

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.

A

Copper

35
Q

is a difficult to extract from its main called bauxite.

A

Aluminum

36
Q

It has an attractive silvery white color.

A

Tin

37
Q

is a heavy metal with dull grey appearance.

A

Lead

38
Q

possesses a bluish grey metallic appearance,

A

Zinc

39
Q

is a alloy of copper and zinc

A

Brass

40
Q

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

A

Bronzes

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
