- Topic 1.2 Metals
- Ferrous metals contain ferrite (iron), almost all ferrous metals are magnetic and all rust due to their iron content.
- An example of a ferrous metal is: steel.
- Advantages of Steel: it is a lightweight material that can be easily formed into a range of shapes. Steel is ductile, malleable, it has good tensile strength and tough.
- Disadvantages of steel:Steel rusts very easily.
- Advantages of Steel: it is a lightweight material that can be easily formed into a range of shapes. Steel is ductile, malleable, it has good tensile strength and tough.
- An example of a ferrous metal is: steel.
- Non Ferrous metals are the metals that contain no iron compounds therefore do not rust. These metals are perfect for jobs where they may come into contact with moisture.
- Examples of Non Ferrous Metals are Aluminium and tin.
- Advantages of Aluminium: is that it is lightweight, easily shaped, it doesn't rust and its is strong. It also conducts electricity well.
- Disadvantages of Aluminium: Expensive
- Aesthetics of Aluminium:
- Advantages of tin is that it is malleable, ductile and resistant to corrosion.
- Disadvantages of tin is that it is weak and soft.
- Advantages of Aluminium: is that it is lightweight, easily shaped, it doesn't rust and its is strong. It also conducts electricity well.
- Examples of Non Ferrous Metals are Aluminium and tin.
- Ferrous metals contain ferrite (iron), almost all ferrous metals are magnetic and all rust due to their iron content.
- Alloys are metals that are formed by mixing two or more metals to create a new metal which has improved properties.
