Metals Flashcards
Mild metal
used for bike frames and fixings. it is a ferrous metal that is smooth and grey but likely to rust
Working properties of mild steel and composition
ductile and tough
easy to from, braze and weld
versatile, magnetic, high density
iron plus 0.1-0.3% carbon
Stainless steel
it is ferrous alloy metal used for kitchen wave. tough, resistant to wear and corrosive resistant.
working properties of stainless steel and the composition
ductile, polishes well, magnetic, low density.
consists of nickel, manganese, chromium and carbon steel
cast iron
used for metal and wood vices.
working properties and composition of cast iron
corrosive, ferrous, tough, brittle, magnetic, high density. has iron and 206% of carbon
Define ferrous metals
are those that contain iron and are magnetic
define non-ferrous metals
are those that are not magnetic and lack iron
aluminium
used for some parts of transport and kitchen utensils
properties of aluminium
low density, malleable, ductile, non-corrosive, good strength, good conductor of heath and electricity.
copper
a pure metal rose- coloured that polishes well.
Properties of copper
malleable. ductile. corrosive. high density.
Brass
alloy yellowish metal mixed with copper and zinc
Properties of brass
malleable. non ferrous
