Ferrous Metals and Alloys General Properties and Application
A Ferrous metal are mainly composed of iron and have a magnetic properties A homogenous mixture or solid solution of two or more metals, its called Alloy metal
Ferrous Metals and Alloys • Plain Carbon Steel • Stainless Steel • Tool Steel • Cast Iron
Steel (What is the definition?) A ferrous alloy, as simple as a mixture of iron and carbon, but also containing a number of alloying elements to impart various properties
Stainless Steel Stainless Steels are selected for their excellent resistance to corrosion
Properties of Stainless Steel • Excellent surface appearance and finish • High ductility and formability • high cold and hot workability • High strength and hardness • Good thermal conductivity • High corrosion resistance • Good creep resistance • Good machinability • Easy weldability
Application of Stainless Steel • Used for making knife blades, springs, valves, ball bearing etc. • Used for highly stressed parts, turbine and compressor blades • Cargo containers, steel furniture, hospital carts etc. • Used wide range in cookware • Automotive exhaust systems
TURBINE BLADES BALL BEARING SPRING COOKWARE
Tool Steel Tool steel have high hardness and wear resistance required for working and shaping operations
Properties of Tool Steel • Good heat resistance • Good machinability • Good toughness • Wear resistance • Good hardness
Application of tool steel • Tool steel are used for shearing, cutting, stamping and forming of metals and plastics • Its used to making hand tool like chisels, hammers, saws, drill beats • It used to making various types of cutting tool for machine • Used for making die
DRILL SHEETS VARIOUS TYPE OF TOOL
Cast iron Cast iron is a hard, brittle alloy of iron and carbon An alloy of iron that contain 2 to 4 percent carbon, along with varying amount of silicon, manganese etc.
Properties of Cast iron • It is the least expensive casting material • High wear and abrasion resistance • Lower melting temperature • High compressive strength • High damping capacity • Easily machinable
Application of cast iron • Many types of industrial and consumer products, such as elevator counterweights, window-sash weights • Gear housing, pump housing, housing for steam turbines • Bases or beds for many types of machine • Cylinders, pistons and engine frames • Clutch plate, brake drum
