Ferrous and Non-ferrous Metals | Ferrous Metals List | List of Non-ferrous Metals What are Ferrous Metals and Non Ferrous Metals Ferrous metals can be described types of metals that contain iron (ferrite), while non-ferrous metals are a metal, including alloys, that does not contain iron (ferrite) in appreciable proportion or amounts. It simply means that…
Deformation Of Metals | Elastic Deformation | Plastic Deformation |Shear Deformation Deformation of Metals The change produced in metal without any fracture even after removal of external load is called deformation. The change can be either axial or angular in nature. The property which enables metals to deform without any fracture is called plasticity. Plasticity…
Cold Working and Hot working | Residual Stresses | Recovery and Re-Crystallization Cold Working What is Cold Working? When a metal is subjected to a mechanical process like drawing, cold rolling, bending, etc., it undergoes plastic deformation below the re-crystallization temperature. The process is termed as cold working. Most of the cold working processes are performed…
Is Steel an Alloy | What is Alloy Steel | Example Alloys |Properties Alloy Steels Is Steel an Alloy Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon and has a carbon content proportion of up to 2%. When elements metals and non-metals are combined with carbon steel, then alloy steel is formed. Various alloy steel types have different chemical, environmental,…
Carbon Steels | Carbon Steel Composition | Carbon Steel Density | Carbon Steel Properties What is Carbon Steel? Carbon steels are so widely used engineering materials, compared to the other ferrous and non-ferrous materials, that often one overlooks the fact that there are many types, each designed by the metallurgist, to have particulars properties required…
Types of Steel | Carbon Steel | Alloy Steel | Stainless Steel| Properties of Steel Types of Steel In steel work, it is often useful to group steel into four categories using the acronym CAST (Carbon, Alloy, Stainless Steel and Tool Steel) The American Iron and Steel Institute, (A. I. S. I) categorize steel into…
