  2. Pure metal A pure metal is a substance that contains atoms of only one type of metallic element, such as aluminum, gold, copper, lead or zinc. Alloy An alloy is a material composed of two or more metals or a metal and a nonmetal. Phase a phase is a region of space , throughout which all physical properties of a material are essentially uniform. In a system consisting of ice and water in a glass jar, the ice cubes are one phase, the water is a second phase, and the humid air over the water is a third phase. The glass of the jar is another separate phase

  3. Solid solubility The degree to which one solid component can dissolve another. or The extent to which one metal is capable of forming solid solutions with another.

  4. Solid Solutions 4

  5. Solid Solutions 5

  6. Allotropy of Iron Iron changes its crystal structure from BCC to FCC at 910 c , then again to BCC at 1400 c and further heating , it melts at 1539 c . This change of crystal structure Is called allotropy.

  32. Classification of Steels Steels are classified base on various criterions: • Amount of carbon • Amount of alloying elements • Amount of deoxidation • Grain Coasening Characteristics • Method of Manufacturing • Depth of Hardening • Form and use

  33. Classification of Steels • Amount of carbon • Low carbon steel (0.008 – 0.3 %C) • Medium carbon steel (0.3 – 0.6 %C) • High carbon steel (0.6 – 2 %C)

  34. Classification of Steels • On the basis of alloying elements • Low alloy steels (Total alloying elements are less than 10%) • High alloy steels (Total alloying elements are more than 10%)

  35. Classification of Steels • On the basis of alloying elements and carbon content • Low carbon Low alloy steels • Low carbon High alloy steels • Medium carbon Low alloy steels • Medium carbon High alloy steels • High carbon Low alloy steels • High carbon High alloy steels

  36.

  37. Specification of Steels Steels are specified on the basis of criteria like: • Chemical Composition • Mechanical Properties • Method of manufacturing • Heat Treatment • Quality Majority of specifications are based on chemical composition.

  39. Cooling curve of pure metal Liquid metal cools from P to Q. Crystal begin to form at Q. Between Q and R the mass is partly liquid and partly solid. From R to S metal solidifies. Temperature remains constant from Q o R.

  40. Cooling curve for binary solid solution Here temperature does not remain constant but drop along the line QR.

  41. Cooling curve for binary eutectic system In this system , the two components are completely soluble in liquid state but entirely in soluble in in solid state. At point Q one component that is in excess will crystallize and temperature will drop along QR. at point R, two components crystallize simultaneously from solution For more detail contact us
