METAL/ STEEL
Ferrous Metals are metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added, to give the required properties. All ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion. Ferrous scrap metal usually comes from sources like disposed household appliances, old cars, old railroads tracks, decommissioned ships, and construction debris.
Non-Ferrous Metals are metals which do not contain any iron. They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals.Examples include aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, titanium, and precious metals.
* IRON- a silver-white malleable ductile magnetic heavy metallic element that readily rusts in moist air
Ferrous Metals:Ferrous Metals:Material Description Properties Use
Mild Steel
An iron-carbon alloy containing less than 0.25 percent carbon which makes it more ductile and less hard thus rendering it unsuitable for structural work.
Tough, high tensile strength and ductile. Because of low carbon content it can not be hardened and tempered. It must be case hardened.
Girders, Plates, nuts and bolts, general purpose
High Speed Steel
Low (generally 0.3 to 0.7 percent) carbon steels that remain hard at dull-red heat generated in machining operations. They typically contain 5 percent chromium and 10 to 20 percent tungsten, and may also contain small amounts of cobalt and/or vanadium.
Can be hardened and tempered. Can be brittle and retains hardness at high temperatures
Dies, drill bits, reamers, saw blades, and taps
Stainless Steel
A type of metal product that is more resistant to rust, staining and corrosion than regular steel. It is an alloy of iron and carbon.
Corrosion resistant Kitchen draining boards, pipes, cutlery, aircraft
High Tensile Steel
Low carbon steel with minute amounts of molybdenum, niobium, titanium, and/or vanadium. Also, called high strength alloy steel or high-strength, low-alloy steel.
Very strong and very tough Gears, shafts, engine parts
High Carbon Steel
A form of steel having more than 0.3 percent carbon, and is thus harder and less formable and machineable than low-carbon steel.
The hardest of the carbon steels. Less ductile, tough, and malleable.
Cutting Edges, compression springs, farming and gardening equipment, and other high-wear applications
Cast Iron One of several types of iron (such as gray iron and white iron) containing 1.8 to 4.5 percent carbon by weight whereas carbon steel contains less than 0.5 percent. The additional carbon makes the molten iron more fluid and easier to cast in complex shapes.
Hard, brittle, strong, cheap, self-lubricating. White cast iron, grey cast iron, malleable cast iron.
Heavy crushing machinery, car cylinder blocks, vices, machine tool parts, brake drums, machine handle and gear wheels, plumbing fitments
Non-Ferrous MetalsMaterial Description Properties Uses
Aluminium - A lightweight, silvery-white metallic element that is ductile, is found chiefly in bauxite, and is a good conductor of electricity. It is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust and is used to make a wide variety of products from soda cans to airplane components
Greyish-White, soft, malleable, conductive to heat and electricity, It is corrosion resistant. It can be welded but this is difficult. Needs special processes.
Aircraft, boats, window frames, saucepans, packaging and insulation, pistons and cranks
Brass A yellowish alloy of copper and zinc, usually 67 percent copper and 33 percent zinc. It sometimes includes small amounts of other metals.
Very corrosive, yellow in color, tarnishes very easily. Harder than copper. Good electrical conductor.
Castings, ornaments, valves, forgings
Copper A malleable ductile reddish metallic element occurring as the free metal, copper glance, and copper pyrites: used as an electrical and thermal conductor and in such alloys as brass and bronze.
Red, tough, ductile, high electrical conductor, corrosion resistant, Can work hard or cold. Needs frequent annealing.
Electrical wire, cables and conductors, water and central heating pipes and cylinders. printed circuit boards, roofs
Lead A heavy, comparatively soft, malleable, bluish-gray metal, sometimes found in its natural state but usually combined as a sulfide, esp. in galena
The heaviest common metal. Soft, malleable, bright and shiny when new but quickly oxidizes to a dull grey. Resistant to corrosion.
Protection against X-Ray machines. paints, roof coverings, flashings
Tin A malleable, silvery metallic element that occurs in igneous rocks. It has a crystalline structure and crackles when bent. Tin is used as an anticorrosion agent and is a part of numerous alloys, including bronze.
White and soft, corrosion resistant. Tinplate, making bronze and pewter, steel coating
Zinc A brittle bluish-white metallic element that becomes coated with a corrosion-resistant layer in moist air. It is a constituent of several alloys, esp brass and nickel-silver.
A layer of oxide protects it from corrosion, bluish-white, easily worked.
Makes brass. coating for steel, galvanized corrugated iron roofing, tanks, buckets, rust-proof paints
Gilding Metal
A copper alloy, comprising 95% copper and 5% zinc. Technically, it is a brass.
Corrosion resistant, golden color, enamels well.
Beaten metalwork, jewelry
•Wrought iron is a soft, ductile,
fibrous variety that is produced from a
semifused mass of relatively pure iron .
•It is superior for most purposes to cast
iron, which is overly hard and brittle
owing to its high carbon content.
it is heavy, which is a challenge, but appreciated on windy days. It needs much care, though, and can easily rust and corrode if not waterproofed
Stainless steel is durable, low maintenance material and is often the least expensive choice in a life cycle cost comparison.
The ease of fabrication due to the use of modern steel- making techniques that allow stainless steel to be cut , machined, fabricated, welded, and formed, as readily as traditional steels.
The hygienic property of stainless steel makes it the first choice in hospitals, kitchens, food and pharmaceutical processing facilities.
Aluminum is more common than
steel furniture, mostly because it does not
rust, although it oxidizes, turning into a
chalky white.
•Caste and heavy tube aluminum give
better quality.
•Tubular aluminum is flexible and
hollowing, besides less sturdy.
However, its lightness makes for an
ideal poolside furniture and is mainly
used for benches, folding chairs and
swing sets.
•It is also lighter than steel, making it
more desirable.
They seems like quick sketches on a notebook but they are black steel chairs and table, designed by the Japanese studio Nendo, in exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery of London
BRASSVery corrosive, yellow in color, tarnishes very easily. Harder than copper.

FIBERGLASS is an amazing product that can be molded into practically anything, giving design engineers unlimited possibilities in the ability to make long and sweeping contours, allowing for much more design freedom than metal or wood based structures can.
Three samples of different weaves of fibreglass. The pattern of weave determines the strength and weight of the Glass Reinforced Plastic, after resin has been added. Different weaves have been developed for different practical applications.
How to Fiberglass?
MIXED MEDIA
is defined as any work of art that uses more than one medium.
Fishnet chair is designed by Sadi Ozis
Fishnet Chair
The chair woven by using a fishnet does not look very comfortable and strong, however, on the contrary it is quite ergonomic and capable to withstand heavy weight.
Acapulco chair designed by Ocho. The designer combined ancient Mayan weaving and innovative iron fashioning to create a valuable design.It is inspired by comfortable woven hammocks in the place that also inspired its name. Acapulco Chair is made of a UV protected vinyl cord on a powder coated galvanized steel frame. Stoppers on the legs protect the floor and the chair can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The Shadow Cantilever chair
Philippine Abaca fiber was turned into rope and then into thousand of loops that decorate the backside of the chair. The hand sown backside displays different colours and offer glamorous accents. The unique texture combined with the sinuous lines resulted in a fantastic chair design.
Ghost Chair a thick and sturdy plexiglass shell is transformed into a fascinating three dimensional decorative object with the help of a unique 3D technique. Designed by Ralph Nauta & Lonneke Gordijn of Studio Drift, the geometric plexiglass box seems to contain its own ghost in an artistic, almost organic shape. By drawing the ghost inside the chair, the designers created over a million tiny air bubbles that reflect the air, transforming the space around this magnificent seating unit into an ever-changing background.
the chair is made of six worn pieces of driftwood and suspended thick slabs of translucent acrylic sheet
A luxurious sculptural chair, the aesthetic is almost ethereal
while taking on the appearance of a Monarch butterfly. The Butterfly Chair, which is manufactured as one homogenous piece, are equally as stunning when placed individually or together, forming the silhouette of the Monarch. Materials include aluminum, plastic, carbon fiber and bronze and colors range the gamut of a rainbow, creating a versatile chair for indoor or outdoor living.
UPCYCLED
Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
Recycling takes consumer materials — mostly plastic, paper, metal and glass — and breaks them down so their base materials can be remade into a new consumer product, often of lesser quality.
