Metallurgy, properties and of ferrous metals and Alloys

1. Metallurgy, Properties, and uses of Ferrous Metals and Alloys BY JOSHUA ROBREGADO

2. WHAT IS AN ALLOY? Alloy is a mixed of a two or more elements, in order to qualify as an alloy one of the elements on the mixed must be a metal.

3. Function of Alloy Elements in Steel While the plain Carbon Steels form an important group of materials, they have certain limitations. The plain carbon steel is not resistant to corrosion. The fully hardened plain carbon steels are usually quite resistant to abrasion.

4. TO INCREASE HARDENABILITY TO INCREASE RESISTANCE TO SOFTENING ON TEMPERING TO INCREASE RESISTANCE TO CORROISON TO INCREASE RESISTANCE TO ABRASION TO STRENGTHEN FERRITE

5. But besides this increase it will decrease the MALLEABILITY DUCTILITY TOUGHNESS

6. CHROMIUM It is the most common used alloying elements in steel It adds a stainless feature to the steel Increases the hardness Increases tensile strength and heat resistance Decreases ductility

7. NICKEL Improves the hardness and strength properties of the material without decreasing ductility and toughness

8. MANGANESE Improves the mechanical properties of steel Increases the strength and decreases ductility It increases the malleability

9. SILICON Improves the magnetic properties of steel Increase heat resistance
