METAL ALLOYS
There are two types of metal alloys
Ferrous Alloys
Non-Ferrous Alloys
Compared to other engineering materials, the carbon steels offer high strength and high
stiffness, coupled with reasonable toughness. Unfortunately, they also rust easily and
generally require some form of surface protection, such as paint, galvanizing, or other
coating. The plain-carbon steels are generally the lowest-cost steel material and shouldbe given first consideration for many applications.
The differentiation between plain-carbon and alloy steel is often somewhat arbitrary.
Both contain carbon, manganese, and usually silicon. Copper and boron are possible
additions to both classes. Steels containing more than 1.65% manganese, 0.60%
silicon, or 0.60% copper are usually designated as alloy steels. Also, a steel isconsidered to be an alloy steel if a definite or minimum amount of other alloying elementis specified. The most common alloy elements are chromium, nickel, molybdenum,
vanadium, tungsten, cobalt, boron, and copper, as well as manganese, silicon,
phosphorus, and sulphur in amounts greater than are normally present. If the steelcontains less than 8% of total alloy addition, it is considered to be a low-alloy
steel. Steels with more than 8% alloying elements are high-alloy steels.

IMPORTANT ORES OF COPPERCopper pyrite or chalcopyrite (CuFeS2).
Chalocite (Cu2S) or copper glance.
Malachite green [CuCO3.Cu(OH)2].Azurite blue [2CuCO3.Cu(OH)2].
Bornite (3Cu2S.Fe2S3) or peacock ore.
Melaconite (CuO) etc.EXTRACTION OF COPPER FROM SULPHIDE ORE
Large amount of copper are obtained from copper pyrite (CuFeS2) bysmelting. Ores containing 4% or more copper are treated by smeltingprocess. Very poor ores are treated by hydro-metallurgical process(Leaching, Solution concentration and purification, Metal recovery).
EXTRACTION OF COPPER BY SMELTING PROCESSFollowing steps are involved in the extraction of copper.
1. CONCENTRATIONThe finely crushed ore is concentrated by Froth-Floatation process. Froth
flotation is a process for separating minerals from gangue by taking
advantage of differences in their hydrophobicity. The finely crushed ore is
suspended in water containing a little amount of pine oil. A blast of air is
passed through the suspension. The particles get wetted by the oil and floatas a froth which is skimmed. The gangue sinks to the bottom.

2. ROASTINGThe concentrated ore is then roasted in a furnace in the presence of a
current of air. Sulphur is oxidized to SO2 and impurities of arsenic (As) and
antimony (Sb) are removed as volatile oxides. The following reaction takes
place during the roasting process.2CuFeS2 + O2 Cu2S + 2FeS + SO2

4. BESSEMERIZATIONCopper metal is extracted from molten matte through bessemerization .
The matte is introduced into Bessemer converter which uphold by tuyers.
The air is blown through the molten matte. Blast of air converts Cu2S partly
into Cu2O which reacts with remaining Cu2S to give molten copper.2Cu2S + 3O2 2Cu2O + 2SO2
2Cu2O + Cu2S 6Cu + SO2The copper so obtained is called "Blister copper" because, as it solidifies,
SO2 hidden in it escapes out producing blister on its surface.IMPURITIES IN BLISTER COPPER
AND THEIR EFFECTSBlister copper is 99% pure. It contains
impurities mainly iron but little amount
of As, Zn, Pb, Ag and Au may also be
present. These impurities adversely
affect the electrical as well as
mechanical properties of copper.
Therefore, they must be removed.

CORROSION
Definition: Corrosion is the deterioration of materials by chemical interaction with theirenvironment. Deteriorative mechanisms are different for metals, ceramics, and
polymers.
In metals, there is actual material loss either by dissolution (chemical corrosion)or by the formation of non-metallic scale or film (oxidation/electrochemical corrosion).
Ceramic materials are relatively resistant to deterioration, which usually occurs at
elevated temperatures or in rather extreme environments; the process is frequently also
called corrosion.
For polymers, the term degradation is most frequently used. Polymers maydissolve when exposed to a liquid solvent, or they may absorb the solvent and swell.
Also, electromagnetic radiation (primarily ultraviolet) and heat may cause alterations in
their molecular structures.
Corrosion processes are occasionally used to advantage. For example, etching
procedures, make use of the selective chemical reactivity of grain boundaries or variousmicrostructural constituents.

EFFECTS OF CORROSION
The consequences of corrosion are many and varied and
the effects of these on the safe, reliable and efficientoperation of equipment or structures are often more seriousthan the simple loss of a mass of metal. Failures of variouskinds and the need for expensive replacements may occureven though the amount of metal destroyed is quite small.
Losses are economic and safety:
Reduced Strength
Downtime of equipment
Escape of fluids
Lost surface properties
Reduced value of goods

In chemical corrosion, or direct dissolution, a material dissolves in a corrosive liquid
medium. The material continues to dissolve until either it is consumed or the liquid is
saturated.

Electrochemical corrosion, the most common form of attack of metals, occurs when
metal atoms lose electrons and become ions. As the metal is gradually consumed by
this process, a by-product of the corrosion process is typically formed. Metal atoms
characteristically lose or give up electrons in what is called an oxidation reaction. For
example, a hypothetical metal M that has a valence of n (or n valence electrons) may
experience oxidation according to the reaction:

or moist air.

Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, inorder to prevent rusting.
The galvanization can be done with electrochemical and electrodeposition processes,
the most common method in current use is hot-dip galvanization, in which steel parts aresubmerged in a bath of molten zinc.

Each time we apply a higher
stress, the flow stress and
tensile strength increase,and the ductilit decreases
Strain Hardening Mechanism
Work hardening, orstrain hardening, If we apply a stress S1 that is greater than theyield strength Sy, it causes a permanent deformation or strain. When the stress is
removed, a strain of e1 remains. Our new test specimen would begin to deform
plastically or flow at stress level S1. We define the flow stress as the stress that is
needed to initiate plastic flow in previously deformed material. Strain hardening results in
an increase in the strength of a material due to plastic deformation. Plastic deformation =adding dislocations
HEAT TREATMENT
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
17/42
Heat treatment is the term used to describe the controlled heating and cooling of metals
and alloys for the purpose of altering their structures and properties.
Heat treatment is the process of combination of heating and cooling operations, timed
and applied to metals and alloys in their solid state to obtain desired properties.
HEAT TREATMENT
AIM OF HEAT TREATMENT
The aim is to obtain a desired microstructure to achieve certain predetermined
properties (physical, mechanical, magnetic or electrical).
The same metal or alloy can bemade weak and ductile for ease
in manufacture, and then
retreated to provide high strength
and good fracture resistance for
use and application

Tempering
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
19/42
ANNEALING
Annealing is done to improve ductility (the ability to be drawn and extruded) and
reduce brittleness.
Annealing consists of softening the metal by heating it between 30 & 50 degrees C
above it upper critical point and allowing it to cool slowly. This can be done in either hot sand, ashes of a fire or by leaving the metal in an oven
or furnace until cooled.
TEMPERING
Tempering is done to remove some of the brittleness and hardness of
steel after hardening.
Suitable temperatures for tempering vary considerably
Tempering by colour still provides an accurate and reliable method ofdealing with plain carbon steels
NORMALISING The main purpose of normalizing is to obtain a structure that is uniform throughout
the work piece and is free from any locked up stresses. Similar to annealing, but the cooling rate is accelerated by taking the work piece
from the furnace and allowing it to cool in free air.
This more rapid cooling results in a finer grain structure which in turn leads to
improved physical properties and improved finishes when machining.
ANNEALING
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
20/42
The term annealing refers to a heat treatment in which a material is exposed to an
elevated temperature for an extended time period and then slowly cooled. Annealing is
carried out to (1) relieve stresses; (2) increase softness, ductility, and toughness; and/or
(3) produce a specific microstructure.
Annealing is a heat treatment used to eliminate some or all of the effects of cold working.
Annealing at a low temperature may be used to eliminate the residual stresses produced
during cold working without affecting the mechanical properties of the finished part.Any
annealing process consists of three stages: (1) heating to the desired temperature, (2)
holding or soaking at that temperature, and (3) cooling, usually to room temperature.
Time is an important parameter in these procedures. During heating and cooling,temperature gradients exist between the outside and interior portions of the piece; their
magnitudes depend on the size and geometry of the piece. If the rate of temperature
change is too great, temperature gradients and internal stresses may be induced that
may lead to warping or even cracking.
PROCESS ANNEALING is a heat treatment that is used to negate the effects of coldwork that is, to soften and increase the ductility of a previously strain-hardened metal.Process annealing is applied to low carbon steels (
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
21/42
STRESS-RELIEF ANNEAL also known as sub-critical annealing is employed toreduce the residual stresses in large steel castings, welded assemblies, and cold-formed
products. Parts are heated to temperatures below the A1(between 550 and 650C or
1000 and 1200F), held for a period of time, and then slow cooled to prevent the
creation of additional stresses. Times and temperatures vary with the condition of the
component, but the basic microstructure and associated mechanical properties generallyremain unchanged.
SPHEROIDIZATION ANNEALING: When high-carbon steels are to undergo extensivemachining or cold forming, a process known as spheroidization is often employed. Here
the objective is to produce a structure in which all of the cementite is in the form of small
spheroids or globules dispersed throughout a ferrite matrix. This can be accomplished
by a variety of techniques, including (1) prolonged heating at a temperature just below
the A1followed by relatively slow cooling, (2) prolonged cycling between temperatures
slightly above and slightly below the or (3) in the case of tool or high-alloy steels, heating
to 750 to 800C (1400 to 1500F) or higher and holding at this temperature for several
hours, followed by slow cooling.
TEMPERING is a process of heat treating, which is used to increase the toughnessof iron-based alloys. It is also a technique used to increase the toughness of glass. For
metals, tempering is usually performed after hardening, to reduce some of the excess
hardness, and is done by heating the metal to a temperature below its "lower critical
temperature. Tempering is usually performed after quenching, which is rapid cooling of
the metal to put it in its hardest state.
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
22/42
NORMALIZING: In plastically deformed metals (for example, by rolling operation),the grains are irregularly shaped and relatively large, but vary substantially in size. An
annealing heat treatment called normalizing is used to refine the grains (i.e., todecrease the average grain size) and produce a more uniform and desirable size
distribution; fine-grained pearlitic steels are tougher than coarse-grained ones.
One should note a key difference between full annealing and normalizing. In the fullanneal, the furnace imposes identical cooling conditions at all locations within the metal,
which results in identical structures and properties. With normalizing, the cooling will be
different at different locations. Properties will vary between surface and interior, and
different thickness regions will also have different properties. When subsequent
processing involves a substantial amount of machining that may be automated, the
added cost of a full anneal may be justified, since it produces a product with uniformmachining characteristics at all locations.
HARDENING HEAT TREATMENT
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
23/42
To harden by quenching, a metal (usually steel or cast iron) must be heated above the
upper critical temperature and then quickly cooled. Depending on the alloy and other
considerations (such as concern for maximum hardness vs. cracking and distortion),cooling may be done with forced air or other gases, (such as nitrogen). Liquids may be
used, due to their better thermal conductivity, such as water, oil, a polymer dissolved in
water, or a brine. Upon being rapidly cooled, a portion of austenite (dependent on alloy
composition) will transform to martensite, a hard, brittle crystalline structure. The
quenched hardness of a metal depends on its chemical composition and quenching
method.

ROLLING PROCESS
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
27/42
Rolling is a deformation process in which the thickness of the work is reduced by
compressive forces exerted by two opposing rolls. The rolls rotate to pull and
simultaneously squeeze the work between them.
Hot Rolling is generally free of residual stresses, and its properties are isotropic.
Disadvantages of hot rolling are that the product cannot be held to close tolerances, andthe surface has a characteristic oxide scale. High Reduction ratio.
Cold Rolling strengthens the metal and permits a tighter tolerance on thickness. Butcauses residual stresses in the work.
TYPES OF ROLLING PROCESSESFlat Rolling reduce the thickness of a rectangular cross section.
Shape Rolling a square cross section is formed into a shape such as an I-beamThread Rolling is used to form threads on cylindrical parts by rolling them between twodies.
Gear Rolling is a cold working process to produce certain gears. The automotiveindustry is an important user of these products. The setup in gear rolling is similar to
thread rolling, except that the deformed features of the cylindrical blank or disk are
oriented parallel to its axis (or at an angle in the case of helical gears) ratherthan spiralled as in thread rolling.

Ring Rolling is a deformation process in which a thick-walled ring of smaller diameter isrolled into a thin-walled ring of larger diameter.
Roll Piercing is a specialized hot working process for making seamless thick-walledtubes. It utilizes two opposing rolls, and hence it is grouped with the rolling processes.
Roll Forging In this operation (also called
cross rolling), the cross section of a roundBar is shaped by passing it through a pair
of rolls with profiled grooves .
Skew Rolling is typically used for makingball bearings. Round wire or rod is fed into
the roll gap, and roughly spherical blanks
are formed continuously by the action ofthe rotating rolls.

29/42
POLYMERS (Poly many+ Mers unit )
Polymers consist of chains of molecules.
Polmolecules consisting of one unit (known as a monomer) or a few units (known as
oligomers) that are chemically joined (by covalent bonding) to create these giant
molecules.
Most polymers are organic, meaning that they are carbon-based; however, polymers
can be inorganic (e.g., silicones based on a Si-O network).
What is Polymerization?
Polymerization is the process by which small molecules consisting of one unit (known as
a monomer) or a few units (known as oligomers) are chemically joined to create these
giant molecules. Polymerization normally begins with the production of long chains in
which the atoms are strongly joined by covalent bonding.
Classification of Polymers
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
30/42
Classification of PolymersThere are several ways of classification of polymers based on some special
considerations. The following are some of the common classifications of polymers:
Classification Based on SourceUnder this type of classification, there are three sub categories.
1. Natural polymersThese polymers are found in plants and animals. Examples are proteins, cellulose,
starch, resins and rubber.
Naturally occurring polymers are derived from plants and animals, these materials
include wood, rubber, cotton, wool, leather, and silk.
2. Semi-synthetic polymersCellulose derivatives as cellulose acetate (rayon) and cellulose nitrate, etc. are the usualexamples of this sub category.
3. Synthetic polymersA variety of synthetic polymers as plastic (polythene), synthetic fibres (nylon) and
synthetic rubbers (Buna S) are examples of man-made polymers extensively used in
daily life as well as in industry. The synthetics can be produced inexpensively, and their properties may be managed
to the degree that many are superior to their natural counterparts.
Plastics are materials that are composed principally of naturally occurring and
modified or artificially made polymers often containing additives such as fibers,
fillers, pigments, and the like that further enhance their properties.
Classification Based on Structure
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
31/42
Classification Based on Structure
1. Linear polymersThese polymers consist of long and straight chains. The examples of Polymers are high
density polythene, polyvinyl chloride, etc. These are represented as:
2. Branched chain polymersThese polymers contain linear chains having some branches, e.g., low density
polythene. These are depicted as above:
3. Cross linked or Network polymers
These are usually formed from bi-functional and tri-functional monomers and containstrong covalent bonds between various linear polymer chains, e.g. bakelite, melamine,
etc. These polymers are depicted as above:
Classification Based on Molecular Forces
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
32/42
Under this category, the polymers are classified into the following four sub groups on the
basis of magnitude of intermolecular forces present in them.
1. Elastomers: These are rubber like solids with elastic properties. In theseelastomeric polymers, the polymer chains are held together by the weakest
intermolecular forces. These weak binding forces permit the polymer to be stretched.
A few crosslinks are introduced in between the chains, which help the polymer to
retract to its original position after the force is released as in vulcanised rubber.
2. Fibres: Fibres are the thread forming solids which possess high tensile strength andhigh modulus. These characteristics can be attributed to the strong intermolecular
forces like hydrogen bonding. These strong forces also lead to close packing ofchains and thus impart crystalline nature. The examples are polyamides (nylon 6, 6),
polyesters (terylene), etc.
3. Thermoplastic polymersThese are the linear or slightly branched long chain molecules capable of repeatedly
softening on heating and hardening on cooling. These polymers possess
intermolecular forces of attraction intermediate between elastomers and fibres.
Some common thermoplastics are polythene, polystyrene, polyvinyls, etc
4 Thermosetting polymersThese polymers are cross linked or heavily branched molecules, which on heating
undergo extensive cross linking in moulds and again become infusible. These cannot
be reused. Some common examples are bakelite, urea-formaldehyde resins, etc.

Stress-Strain Behaviour of Polymers
7/30/2019 Engineering Material LEC#2
34/42
The fracture strengths of polymeric materials are low relative to those of metals and
ceramics. As a general rule, the mode of fracture in thermosetting polymers (heavily
cross linked networks) is brittle (curve B). The behaviour for a plastic material, curve B, is
similar to that for many metallic materials; the initial deformation is elastic, which is
followed by yielding and a region of plastic deformation. Finally, the deformation displayedby curve C is totally elastic; this elasticity is displayed by a class of polymers termed the
elastomers.
