Properties Of Metals Strength - The ability of a material to stand up to forces being applied without it bending, breaking, shattering or deforming in any way. Elasticity - The ability of a material to absorb force and flex in different directions, returning to its original position. Plasticity - The ability of a material to http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html be change in shape permanently.
Mechanical Properties Of Metals Ductility - The ability of a material to change shape (deform) usually by stretching along its length. Tensile Strength – The ability of a material to stretch without breaking or snapping. Malleability - The ability of a material to be reshaped in all directions without cracking.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS Toughness - A characteristic of a material that does not break or shatter when receiving a blow or under a sudden shock. Conductivity - The ability of a material to conduct electricity. Hardness – The ability of a material to resist scratching, wear and tear & http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html indentation.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS Fatigue Fatigue failures occur when metal is subjected to a repetitive or fluctuating stress and will fail at a stress much lower than its tensile strength. • Fatigue failures occur without any plastic deformation (no warning). • Fatigue surface appears as a smooth region, showing beach mark or origin of fatigue crack
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS Fusibility Fusibility is defined as the ability of a metal to become liquid by the application of heat. Metals are fused in welding. Steels fuse at approximately 2,500째F, and aluminum alloys at approximately 1,110째F.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS Creep The mechanical strength of metals decreases with increasing temperature and the properties become much more time dependent. Metals subjected to a constant load at elevated temperatures will undergo 'creep', a time dependent increase in length. Creep in metals is defined as time dependent plastic deformation at http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html constant stress (or load) and temperature. The form of a typical creep curve of strain versus time is shown in Figure
Strength Strength is the property that enables a metal to to
resist deformation under load The ultimate strength is the maximum strain a material can withstand. Tensile strength is a measurement of the resistance to being pulled apart when placed in a tension load. Fatigue strength is the ability of material to resist various kinds of rapidly changing stresseS and is expressed by the magnitude of alternating stress for a specified number of cycles. Impact strength is the ability of a metal to resist suddenly applied loads and is measured in footpounds of force. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Hardness ď Ž Hardness is the property of a
material to resist permanent indenation. Because there are several meth-ods of measuring hardness, the hardness of a material is always specified in terms of the particular test that was used to measure this property. Rockwell, Yickers, or Brinell are some of the methods of testing. Of these tests, Rockwell is the one most frequently used.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Toughness Toughness is the property that enables a material to
withstand shock and to be deformed without rupturing . Toughness may be considered as a combination of. strength and plasticity. It is metal ability to absorb energy before fracture. Recall that ductility is a measure of how much something deforms plastically before fracture, but just because a material is ductile does not make it tough.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Toughness The ability of a metal to deform plastically and to
absorb energy in the process before fracture is termed toughness. The key to toughness is a good combination of strength and ductility. A material with high strength and high ductility will have more toughness than a material with low strength and high ductility. Therefore, one way to measure toughness is by calculating the area under the stress strain curve from a tensile test. This value is simply called “material toughness” and it has units of energy per volume. Material toughness equates to a slow absorption of energy by the material. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Elasticity ď Ž When a material has a
load applied to it, the load causes the material to deform. Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape after the load is removed. Theoretically, the elastic limit of a material is the limit to which a material can be loaded and still recover its original shape after the load is removed.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Plasticity ď Ž Plasticity is the ability of a material to deform
permanently without breaking or rupturing. ď Ž This property is the opposite of strength. By careful alloying of metals, the combination of plasticity and strength is used to manufacture large structural members. For example, should a member of a bridge structure become over-loaded, plasticity allows the overloaded member to flow allowing the distribution of the load to other parts of the bridge structure. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Brittleness ď Ž Brittleness is the opposite of the property of
plastic-ity. ď Ž A brittle metal is one that breaks or shatters before it deforms. White cast iron and glass are good examples of brittle material. ď Ž Generally, brittle metals are high in compressive strength but low in tensile strength. As an example, you would not choose cast iron for fabricating support beams in a bridge. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Ductility and Malleability
ď Ž Ductility is the property that
enables a material to stretch, bend or twist without cracking or breaking. This property makes it possible for a material to be drawn out into a thin wire. In comparison, malleability is the property that enables a material to deform by compres-sive forces without developing defects. A malleable material is one that can be stamped, hammered, forged, pressed, or rolled into thin sheets.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Corrosion Resistance ď Ž Corrosion resistance, although not a mechanical property, is
important in the discussion of metals. ď Ž Corrosion resistance is the property of a metal that gives it the ability to withstand attacks from atmospheric, chemical, or electrochemical conditions. Corrosion, sometimes called oxidation, is illustrated by the rusting of iron. ď Ž Table 1-2 lists four mechanical properties and the corrosion resistance of various metals or alloys. The first metal or alloy in each column exhibits the best charac-teristics of that property. The last metal or alloy in each column exhibits the least. In the column labelled "Toughness," note that iron is not as tough as copper or nickel; however, it is tougher than magnesium, zinc, and aluminium. In the column labelled "Ductility," iron exhibits a reasonable amount of ductility; however, in the columns labelled "Malleability" and "Brittleness," it is last. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Metal Types The metals that Builders work with are divided
into two general classifications: Ferrous and nonferrous. Ferrous metals are those composed primarily of iron and iron alloys. Nonferrous metals are those composed primarily of some element or elements other than iron. Nonferrous metals or alloys sometimes contain a small amount of iron as an alloying element or as an impurity. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Ferrous Metals ď Ž The word is derived from the Latin word
ferrum "iron"). ď Ž Ferrous metals include all forms of iron and steel alloys. A few examples include wrought iron, cast iron, carbon steels, alloy steels, and tool steels. Ferrous metals are iron-base alloys with small percentages of carbon and other elements added to achieve desirable properties. Normally, ferrous metals are magnetic and nonferrous metals are nonmagnetic. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Iron ď Ž Pure iron rarely exists outside of the laboratory. Iron
is produced by reducing iron ore to pig iron through the use of a blast furnace. From pig iron many other types of iron and steel are produced by the addition or deletion of carbon and alloys. Iron Ore

Iron Ores Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which
metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), goethite (FeO(OH)), limonite (FeO(OH).n(H2O)) or siderite (FeCO3). Hematite is also known as "natural ore", a name which refers to the early years of mining, when certain hematite ores containing up to 66% iron could be fed directly into iron-making blast furnaces. Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron, which is one of the main raw materials to make steel. 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel. Indeed, it has been argued that iron ore is "more integral to the global economy than any other http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html commodity, except perhaps oil.

Pig Iron ď Ž Pig iron is composed of about
93% iron, from 3% to 5% carbon, and various amounts of other elements. Pig iron is comparatively weak and brittle; therefore, it has a limited use and approximately 90% produced is refined to produce steel. Cast-iron pipe and some fittings and valves are manufactured from pig iron.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Wrought Iron Contains 0.15% carbon wrought iron to resist
corrosion and oxidation. The chemical analyses of wrought iron and mild steel are just about the same. The difference comes from the properties controlled during the manufacturing process. Wrought iron can be gas and arc welded, machined, plated, and easily formed; however, it has a low hardness and a lowfatigue strength. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
WROUGHT IRON
• It can be molded easily and has good resistance to corrosion. • Wrought iron is used extensively where corrosion resistance is needed.

Cast Iron Cast iron is any iron containing
greater than 2% carbon alloy. Manufactured by reheating pig iron (in a cupola) and blending it with other material of known composition. Alternate layers of pig iron (with or without scrap steel) and coke are charged into furnace. Limestone is added to flux the ash from the coke. Heat necessary for the smelting is supplied by the combustion of coke and air http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html supplied by the blast.
CAST IRON •Cupola function to purify iron and produce a more uniform product. •When sufficient metal is accumulated at the bottom of the furnace, it is tapped.
Cast Iron Teapot

Cast Iron Pots
CAST IRON •Cast iron has a highcompressive strength and good wear resistance; however, it lacks ductility, malleability, and impact strength. Alloy-ing it with nickel, chromium, molybdenum, silicon, or vanadium improves toughness, tensile strength, and hardness. A malleable cast iron is produced through a prolonged annealing process.

Ingot Iron ď Ž Ingot iron is a commercially pure iron
(99.85% iron) that is easily formed and possesses good ductility and corrosion resistance. The chemical analysis 'and properties of this iron and the lowest carbon steel are practically the same. The lowest carbon steel, known as dead-soft, has about 0.06% more carbon than ingot iron. In iron the carbon content is considered an impurity and in steel it is considered an alloying ele-ment. The primary use for ingot iron is for galvanized and enameled sheet. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Steel ď Ž Contains up to 1.5% of Carbon
(Specific Gravity 7.7) ď Ž Of all the different metals and materials that we use in our trade, steel is by far the most important. When steel was developed, it revolutionized the American iron industry. With it came skyscrapers, stronger and longer bridges, and railroad tracks that did not collapse. Steel is manufactured from pig iron by decreasing the amount of carbon and other impurities and adding specific amounts of alloying elements. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
STEEL Do not confuse steel with the two general classes of iron: cast iron
(greater than 2% carbon) and pure iron (less than 0.15% carbon). In steel manufacturing, controlled amounts of alloying elements are added during the molten stage to produce the desired composition. Carbon in excess of 1.5% does not combine with iron , but will be present as free graphite , Thus the dividing line of cast iron and steel is presence of free graphite . If there is free graphite then it is cast iron, otherwise it is steel. Steel and wrought iron can be distinguished by putting a drop of nitric acid on metal , steel will produce a gray stain due to higher carbon content.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Carbon Steel Carbon steel is a term applied to a broad range of
steel that falls between the commercially pure ingot iron and the cast irons. This range of carbon steel may be classified into four groups: Low-Carbon Steel 0.05% to 0.30% carbon Medium-Carbon Steel 0.30% to 0.45% carbon High-Carbon Steel 0.45% to 0.75% carbon Very High-Carbon Steel 0.75% to 1.70% carbon
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Low-carbon Steel ď Ž Steel in this
classification is tough and ductile, easily machined, formed, and welded. It does not respond to any form of heat treating, except case hardening. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Medium-carbon Steel These steels are strong and
hard but cannot be welded or worked as easily as the low-carbon steels. They are used for crane hooks, axles, shafts, setscrews, and so on.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
High-carbon Steel ď Ž Steel in these classes respond well
to heat treatment and can be welded. When welding, spe-cial electrodes must be used along with preheating and stressrelieving procedures to prevent cracks in the weld areas. These steels are used for dies, cutting tools, mill tools, railroad car wheels, chisels, knives, and so on.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Stainless Steel ď Ž This type of steel is classified by the American Iron and Steel
Institute (AISI) into two general series named the 200-300 series and 400 series. Each series includes several types of steel with different characteristics. ď Ž The 200-300 series of stainless steel is known as AUSTENITIC. This type of steel is very tough and ductile in the welded condition; therefore, it is ideal for welding and requires no annealing under normal atmospheric conditions. The most wellknown types of steel in this series are the 302 and 304. They are commonly called 18-8 because they are composed of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. The chromium nickel steels are the most widely used and are normally nonmagnetic.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Alloy Steels ď Ž Steels that derive their properties primarily from the presence of
some alloying element other than carbon are called ALLOY STEELS. ď Ž One or more of these elements may be added to the steel
during the manufacturing process to produce the desired characteristics. Alloy steels may be produced in structural sections, sheets, plates, and bars for use in the "as-rolled" condition. 1.Nickel Steel 2.Chromium Steel 3.Chrome Vanadium Steel 4.Tungsten Steel 5.Manganese Steel http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Nickel Steels ď Ž These steels contain from
3.5% nickel to 5% nickel. The nickel increases the strength and toughness of these steels. Nickel steel' containing more than 5% nickel has an increased resistance to corrosion and scale. Nickel steel is used in the manufac-ture of aircraft parts, such as propellers and airframe support members.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Chromium Steels ď Ž These steels have chromium added to
improve hardening ability, wear resistance, and strength. These steels contain between 0.20% to 0.75% chromium and 0.45% carbon or more. Some of these steels are so highly resistant to wear that they are used for the races and balls in antifriction bearings. Chro-mium steels are highly resistant to corrosion and to scale. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Chrome Vanadium Steel ď Ž This steel has the maximum
amount of strength with the least amount of weight. Steels of this type contain from 0.15% to 0.25% . vanadium, 0.6% to 1.5% chromium, and 0.1 % to 0.6% carbon. Common uses are for crankshafts, gears, axles, and other items that require high strength. This steel is also used in the manufacture of high-quality hand tools, such as wrenches and sockets. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Tungsten Steel ď Ž This is a special alloy that
has the property of red hardness. This is the ability to continue to cut after it becomes red-hot. ď Ž Because this alloy is expensive to produce, its use is largely restricted to the manufacture of drills, lathe tools, milling cutters, and similar cutting tools.
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html
Cutting Wheel
Manganese Steels ď Ž The amount of manganese
used depends upon the properties desired in the finished product. Small amounts of manganese produce strong, freemachining steels. Larger amounts (between 2% and 10%) produce somewhat brittle steel, while still larger amounts (11% to 14%) produce a steel that is tough and very resistant to wear after proper heat treat-ment. Railroad tracks, for example, are made with steel that http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html contains manganese

Manufacture Of Steel : Bessemer Process The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the massproduction of steel from molten pig iron. The process is named after its inventor, Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1855. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html

Manufacture Of Steel L D Process (Basic Oxygen Process)
In the basic oxygen process, steel is also refined in a pear-shaped furnace that tilts sideways for charging and pouring. Air, however, has been replaced by a high-pressure stream of nearly pure oxygen. After the furnace has been charged and turned upright, an oxygen lance is lowered into it. The water-cooled tip of the lance is usually about 2 m (about 6 ft) above the charge although this distance can be varied according to requirements. Thousands of cubic meters of oxygen are blown into the furnace at supersonic speed. The oxygen combines with carbon and other unwanted http://www.frontdesk.co.in/cm.html elements and starts a high-temperature churning reaction that rapidly burns out impurities from the pig iron and converts it into steel.

Production Of TMT Bars Tempcore: TMT BARS are removed from cooling zone. A temprature gradient is established in the cross section. It causes heat to flow from centre to surface. The martensite left at centre is tempered by heat flow. So it is known as tempcore. After the intensive cooling, the tmt bar is exposed to air and the core reheats the quenched surface layer by conduction, therefore tempering the external martensite. helps them attain a higher yield strength.
