Contd..METALS•Metals are… Solid at room temperature, except
mercury, which is liquid !
•Metals have… very high melting point.
•Metals are… shiny when they cut.
•Metals are… good conductors of heat and electricity.
•Metals are… usually strong & malleable so they can be hammered into shape.

METALS
Ferrous Non-Ferrous AlloysContaining iron & Do not contain iron. A mixture ofalmost all are e.g. aluminium, metals, or amagnetic. copper, silver, gold, metal & smalle.g. mild-steel, lid, tin etc. amount ofcast-iron, tool- other substanceSteel etc.
Ferrous Alloys Non-Ferrous Alloyse.g. e.g. brass (copper + zinc)stainless steel bronze (copper + tin )steel + chromium

METALSMETALS & ALLOYSMetals are available in pure or alloy form.
Pure Metals such as pure aluminium or pure copper, contain only one type of metal. They are not mixed with any other metal.
Alloys are mixture of two or more pure metals.
Alloys tend to have better strength properties than pure metals.
Alloys and pure metals often have special physical properties. 12:02 7ص
PROPERTIES OF METALS1. Strength - The ability of a material to stand up to
forces being applied without it bending, breaking, shattering or deforming in any way.
2. Elasticity - The ability of a material to absorb force and flex in different directions, returning to its original position.
3. Plasticity - The ability of a material to be change
in shape permanently.
4. Ductility - The ability of a material to change shape (deform) usually by stretching along its length.
12:02 8ص
PROPERTIES OF METALS5. Tensile Strength – The ability of a material to
stretch without breaking or snapping.
6. Malleability - The ability of a material to be reshaped in all directions without cracking.
7. Toughness - A characteristic of a material that does not break or shatter when receiving a blow or under a sudden shock.
8. Conductivity - The ability of a material to conduct electricity.
12:02 9ص
PROPERTIES OF METALS9. Hardness – The ability of a material to resist
scratching, wear and tear & indentation.

FERROUS-METALS1. Mild Steel
Composition: Iron alloy with 0.3% carbonProperties: Malleable and ductile, and therefore bends fairly easilyUses: nuts, bolts, screws, tubes etc.
1. Methods of Identification
Appearance: Bright drawn mild steel has a smooth, bright surface; black mild steel is covered with a blue-grey oxideDropping: Gives out a ringing noteGrinding: Gives off a shower of long white sparksEffect of Heating: Slightly tougher but little change
12:02 11ص
FERROUS-METALS2. Tool Steel / cast steel / carbon steel
Composition: Iron alloy with 0.5%-1.5% carbonProperties: Tough rather than hard, and fairly ductileUses: Springs and most tools such as hammer heads, drills, chisels, shears etc
Methods of Identification
Appearance: Has a smooth skin of black oxideDropping: Gives out a high ringing noteGrinding: Moderate number of red sparksEffect of Heating: Becomes hard and brittle
12:02 12ص
FERROUS-METALS3. cast iron
Composition: Iron alloy with 2%-4% carbonProperties: Brittle, snaps before it will bend. Strong in compressionUses: Vices, cylinder blocks for car engines, frames for most machines
Methods of Identification
Appearance: Grey with a granular surfaceDropping: gives out a dull noteGrinding: Gives off a few dull sparks
Effect of Heating: No change 12:02 13ص
ADVANTAGES OF FERROUS METALS1. High strength to weight ratio
it minimise the substructures cost, which beneficial in poor ground condition. E.g. The Newark Dyke Rail Bridge – comprises 77 meter long, 11.25 meter wide bowstring with 820 tonnes of S355 steel. This bridge use IMD (Interactive Model Technique) – reduced the time required to assess the dynamic response of the structure.This bridge was the first UK steel bridge to be designed for the next generation of 225 km/hr trains.
12:02 14ص
ADVANTAGES OF FERROUS METALS2. High quality material
readily available worldwide in various certificate grades.
3. Speed of construction
4. Versatilitysteel suits range of construction methods & sequences.
5. Modification & repair
6. Recycling
7. Durability
8. Aestheticssteel has a broad architectural possibilities.
12:02 15ص
DISADVANTAGES OF FERROUS METALS1. Costly waste2. High cost of final finishing & polishing3. Environmental issue
