1. Spark test 2. File test 3. Fracture test 4. Color test 5. Density or specific gravity test 6. Ring or sound test 7. Magnetic test 8. Chip test
32
What material breaks off in small particles when chipped?
Cast iron
33
What material curls and clings when chipped?
Mild steel
34
What metals can’t be tested with the chip test?
Metals with higher carbon, heat treated due to their hardness
35
What are the 3 reasons to annealing?
So the metal may be worked cool To make steel machinable To relieve internal stresses
36
What melts at a higher temperature mild steel or cast iron?
Mild steel
37
What is the difference between iron and a steel?
Iron is refined iron ore, steel is refined iron plus an alloy of carbon and other substances
38
Annealing is the ________ of metals by heat treatment
Softening
39
What is malleable iron?
Cast iron that has been heat treated to make it more ductile, and more resistant to shock.
40
What happens when malleable cast iron is welded?
Loses it malleability This is why it should only ever be brazed or braze welded
