Ferrous alloyFerrous alloy
The term ferrous alloy is used for those alloys that containiron as the main constituent
Their widespread use is accounted for by three factors: Iron-containing compounds exist in abundant
quantities within earths crust Metallic iron and steel alloys may be produced using
relatively economical extraction, refining, alloying andfabrication techniques
Ferrous alloys are extremely versatile
Disadvantage of many ferrous alloys: easy to corrode.

How is iron processed tomake steel? Iron OreTo make iron, you start with iron ore .
Iron ore is simply rock that happensto contain a high concentration of iron.
-
8/8/2019 c3 Metal Alloys

All of the iron ores contain iron combined with oxygen. To make ironfrom iron ore, you need to eliminate the oxygen to create pure iron.
The most primitive facility used to refine iron from iron ore iscalled a bloomery . In a bloomery, you burn charcoal with ironore and a good supply of oxygen (provided by a bellows orblower). Charcoal is essentially pure carbon. The carbon
combines with oxygen to create carbon dioxide and carbonmonoxide (releasing lots of heat in the process). Carbon andcarbon monoxide combine with the oxygen in the iron ore andcarry it away, leaving iron metal.
In a bloomery, the fire does not get hot enough to melt the ironcompletely, so you are left with a spongy mass containing ironand silicates from the ore (the bloom). By heating andhammering the bloom, the glassy silicates mix into the ironmetal to create wrought iron. Wrought iron is tough and easy towork, making it perfect for creating tools in a blacksmith shop.

The more advanced way to smelt iron is in a blast furnace . A blastfurnace is charged with iron ore, charcoal or coke (coke ischarcoal made from coal) and limestone (CaCO3). Huge quantitiesof air blast in at the bottom of the furnace. The calcium in thelimestone combines with the silicates to form slag. At the bottomof the blast furnace, liquid iron collects along with a layer of slagon top. Periodically, you let the liquid iron flow out and cool.
The liquid iron typically flows into a channel and indentations in a
bed of sand. Once it cools, this metal is known as pig iron. Pig iron contains 4 percent to 5 percent carbon and is so hard andbrittle that it is almost useless.
You melt it, mix it with slag and hammer it to eliminate most of the carbon (down to 0.3 percent) and create wrought iron.Wrought iron is the stuff a blacksmith works with to create tools,horseshoes and so on. When you heat wrought iron, it ismalleable, bendable, weldable and very easy to work with.
You create steel.

High-speed tool steels contain significant percentages of either tungsten (type T) or molybdenum (type M). They providetoughness required for cutting tools,
Hot-work tool steels (type H) often contain additionalchromium, tungsten, or molybdenum. They are used to makedies for forging metal at high temperatures.
Cold-work tool steels include air-hardening , oil-hardening,and high-carbon high-chromium types. High-carbon high-chromium tool steels (type D) provide added wear-
resistance and toughness for forming tools. Oil-hardeningtool steels (type O) are often used in tools that requiredimensional accuracy such as structural parts, jigs, andbushings. The relatively inexpensive air-hardening toolsteels (type A) are used to make punches for metal andmoulds for plastic that require high hardness.

Nickel is a hard, malleable, silvery white metal Nickel is actually very similar to iron and steel, but it is much
more corrosive resistant.
Certain alloys made of approximately 67% nickel and 30%copper are some of the most corrosion resistant alloys.
Nickel is also used as a plating metal for plain-carbon steels Nickel + chromium : resistant to high temperature oxidation
and corrosion.
Nickel + manganese: resistant to oxidation and reduction atelevated temperatures.
Nickel + cobalt provides high heat resistance which makes ituseful in chemical industry.

Nonferrous alloy:Magnesium
Magnesium is the lightest commerciallyavailable metal, and consequently it almostalways appears in the form of an alloy.
Magnesium has a hexagonal close-packed
(HCP) crystal structure This makes the metal very brittle and difficult
to form. Advantages of magnesium alloys: lightweight,
suffer from poor wear resistance and creepstrength, very easy to machine.
Race cars often use wheels made frommagnesium alloys.
