Metals Flashcards
(34 cards)
What study?
Nature, behavior, and use of materials; relationships that exist between the structures and properties; interdisciplinary field
Material Science
Characteristics of Metals
- Stiff and strong
- Resistant fracture
- Not transparent
- Lustrous
- Some has magnetic properties
The structure of a material usually relates to the arrangement of its internal components
Structure
Alloy of brass
copper and zinc
Alloy of bronze
copper and tin
Alloy of stainless steel
iron, chromium, nickel
Material trait in terms of the kind and magnitude of response to a specific imposed stimulus
Property
Traditional process for making metallic components begin with melting of the metal or alloy
Casting
Materials that have a large number of non-localized electrons; strong yet deformable
Metals
Fundamental classes of materials
- Metallic
- Ceramic
- Polymeric
5 Major Classes of Materials
- Metals
- Ceramics
- Polymers
- Composites
- Advanced materials
Composed of one or more metallic elements, with small amount of nonmetallic elements
Metals
From fundamental classes of Materials,
which materials are the most ordered and dense?
Metals
Yes of No?
Are metals opaque materials?
Yes
Metallic elements that are highly resistant to heat and wear
Refractory metals
Stringent point for refractory metal
MP > 2000°C
MP 1850-2000°C
Forms of Magnet
Weakly attracted to magnetic field
Paramagnetic
Forms of Magnetic
Repelled to magnetic field due to presence of paired electrons
Diamagnetic
all paired electrons in valence shell
Forms of Magnetic
Behaves like iron when placed in a magnetic field
Ferromagnetic
Element used for the production of modern super strong permanent magnets
Neodynium
Alloy alnico means?
Aluminum, Nickel, Cobalt
Alloyed with steel to give a resistance to corrosion
Chromium
Liquid or solid?
Which state of matter has a lower boiling points?
Liquid
PHB Table 2-1
like Hg as it’s liquid at room temperature
Metal that has the highest electrical conductivity
Silver
