16
Q

a hard, brittle, non-malleable iron-based alloy; contains the most carbon; hardest among all irons

A

Cast Iron

17
Q

a tough, malleable, relatively soft iron that is readily forged and welded; contains the least amount of carbon

A

Wrought Iron

18
Q

Crude iron that is drawn from a blast furnace and cast into pigs in preparation for conversion into cast iron, wrought iron, or steel

A

Pig Iron

19
Q

An oblong mass of metal that has been poured while still molten into a mold of sand, esp. a mass of iron from a blast furnace

A

Pig

20
Q

Any of various iron-based alloys having a carbon content less than that of cast iron and more than that of wrought iron; used as a structural material

A

Steel

21
Q

an iron alloy that is corrosion resistant because of addition of chromium; popular use as column covers, railings, kitchen sinks, and fine eating utensils

A

Stainless Steel

22
Q

Steel that has properties made up mostly of carbon

A

Carbon Steel

23
Q

Steel that includes silicon, which allows the steel to minimize energy loss during electrical applications

A

Electrical Steel

24
Q

To coat a metal esp. aluminum or magnesium, with a hard, noncorrosive film by electrolytic or chemical action

A

Anodize

25
Q

The gradual deterioration of metal by chemical action, as when exposed to weather, moisture, or other corroding agents

A

Corrosion

26
Q

a ductile, malleable, silver-white metallic element that is used in forming many hard, light alloys; highly resistant to corrosion; excellent thermal and electrical conductor

A

Aluminum

27
Q

a ductile, malleable, reddish-brown metallic element that is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and is widely used for electrical wiring, water piping, and in the manufacture of alloys, as bronze and brass

A

Copper

28
Q

an alloy of copper and zinc; bright yellowish

A

Brass

29
Q

an alloy of copper and tin with phosphorous; rich golden-brown

A

Bronze

30
Q

a lustrous, low-melting, bluish-white metallic element used in plating and in making alloys and soft solders

A

Tin

31
Q

a heavy, soft, malleable, bluish-gray metallic element used in solder and radiation shielding

A

Lead

32
Q

a lead alloy that was used for the same things that silver was used for, but it was very much cheaper; “poor man’s silver”

A

Pewter

33
Q

a steel-white metal which takes a brilliant polish and is harder than cobalt or nickel.

A

Chromium
