- Properties and Uses of Ferrous Metals
- Cast iron
- Melting point = 1200 C
- hard skin, softer underneath but brittle, corrodes by rusting
- Parts with complex shapes which can be made by casting
- Mild steel
- Melting point = 1600 C
- Tough, ductile, malleable, good tensile strength, poor resistance to corrosion
- General purpose engineering material
- High carbon steel
- Melting point = 1800 C
- Harder than medium carbon steel, more brittle, can be heat treated to make harder and tougher
- Cutting tools, ball bearings
- Stainless steel
- Melting point = 1400 C
- Hard, tough, resistant to wear and corrosion
- Cutlery, kitchen equipment
