Non-Ferrous Metals List | Properties of Non Ferrous Metals Non-Ferrous Metals What is Non Ferrous Metals? Non-ferrous metals can be defined as metals that do not have iron content in them. Non-ferrous metals examples include aluminum, Bronze, copper, Brass, lead, zinc and tin, silver and gold. The primary advantage of non ferrous metals over ferrous materials is their…
Metal Alloys List | Properties of Alloys | Uses of Alloys What are Alloys? Alloys are a mixture of metals with one or more other elements/metals combined together. In the modern era, new alloys are designed to produce materials with the desired properties since most metals do not have those desired properties. Sometimes they may lack…
Season Cracking | Caustic Embrittlement | Bauschinger Effect | Work Hardening Season Cracking What is Season Cracking? Season cracking results when the material is subjected to the combined effect of internal stresses and inter-crystalline corrosion due to the corrosive media in an industrial atmosphere. Internal stresses left in any object for an extended period, after…
Metalizing | What is Metalizing? Metals are widely used in industry and the design, fabrication, and construction of steel bridges, structural bearings, and expansion joints for the highway, railway, and industrial markets. What is Metalizing? Metalizing is a zinc-based spray-on corrosion protection option for structural steel bridges that provides several types of protection. The spray coating itself…
Types of Casting | Sand Casting | Continuous Casting | Ingot Casting How do we get molten steel into a form that we can use, and what is the best way of doing this? In steelmaking, casting is required to solidify the molten steel ready for shaping or forming into a suitable profile. Types of…
Steel Manufacturing | Sintering Process | Blast Furnace Process Iron ore or coke and limestone are put in the blast furnace, then blast air at it until it’s hot to form a molten iron material from which steel is made. Making molten iron into steel involves removing some impurities, such as carbon and Silicon. In…
Types of Cast Iron | Cast Iron Properties | Uses of Cast Iron Types of Cast Iron Malleable Cast Iron Malleable iron is obtained by heat treatment of white cast iron, which does not contain carbon in the free graphite form. There are two processes for the manufacture of malleable iron, which give rise to…
