aluminum
bronze
lead
- Used in buildings, infrastructure,
tools, ships, trains, cars, bicycles,
machines, electrical appliances, and
weapons.
steel
- High tensile strength and low cost.
steel
- World’s most important
engineering and construction
material
steel
- An alloy of iron and ___ with
improved strength and fracture
resistance
carbon
- A type of steel alloyed with several
elements such as molybdenum,
manganese, nickel, chromium,
vanadium, silicon, and boron that
increase strength, hardness, wear
resistance, and toughness
alloy steel
- used to manufacture pipes,
especially pipes for energy-related
applications - used in manufacturing of heating
elements in appliances like toasters,
silverware, pots and pans, and
corrosion-resistant containers
alloy steel
- Made primarily from iron and
carbon in a two-step process - The addition of chromium (cr) and
other alloying elements such as
nickel (Ni) to create a corrosionresistant product makes the
stainless steel different
stainless steel
- Used in the kitchen accessories,
cutlery and cookware - less ductile grades of ___ are
used to make knife blades with
sharp edges
stainless steel
- more ductile grades of ___ are
used for items that have to be
molded into shape such as cookers,
grills, sinks and saucepans
stainless steel
- used to manufacture steel, used in
civil engineering (reinforced
concrete, girders etc) and in
manufacturing.
iron
- It is a lustrous, ductile, malleable,
silver-grey in colour - the tenth most abundant element
in the universe
iron
- An alloy of iron that contains 2 to
4 percent carbon, along with varying
amounts of silicon and manganese
and traces of impurities such as
sulfur and phosphorus - made by reducing iron ore in a
blast furnace.
cast iron
- A soft, ductile, fibrous variety that
is produced from a semi fused mass
of relatively pure iron globules
partially surrounded by slag usually
contains less than 0.1 percent
carbon and 1 or 2 percent slag.
wrought iron
- most abundant metallic element in
earth’s crust and the most widely
used nonferrous metal - it is hard, ductile, malleable, and
lustrous with a high melting and
boiling point
