Galvanizing Engineer

(a) Machinability is the property of metal due to which a metal can easily be cut by cutting tools to obtain good surface finish. E.g.: Brass, Mild steel

(b) Malleability is the property of the metal on account of which it can be extended in all directions by hammering or rolling. E.g.: Tin, Lead

☛ To improve machinability.

☛ To obtain desired properties.

☛ To increase resistance of corrosion.

☛ To change electrical and magnetic properties.

☛ To relieve the stresses after cold or hot working.

☛ To refine the grain size.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Generally brass contains 60% copper and 40% zinc. These are used for making bearings, pump fittings, bushes and utensils.

Bronze contains copper and tin. It is comparatively hard, surface wear is less, can be remolded into any shape like wires, sheets, rods etc.

If carbon content is higher the degree of hardness is more and the melting point is lower, If carbon percentage is lower it is easy to forging and forge welding.

To avoid cracks on the part.

It is an alloy steel which contains mainly 8% Nickel and 18% Chromium. Stainless steel main applications in measuring and surgical instruments.

It is the property of the metal which makes a metal capable to resist surface penetration by other metals .Hard metals are High carbon steel and High speed steel.

☛ Gun metal is an alloy of 88% copper, 10% tin and 2% zinc. It is generally used for casting boiler fittings, bearings ,bushes etc.

☛ German silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, tin and led. It is used for making utensils and resistances in electrical work.

☛ Duralumin is the aluminium alloy contains 3.5­4.5% copper,0.4­0.7% magnesium,0.4­0.7% manganese and remaining aluminium .Mainly used for making bars, tubes, rivets, sheets ,forgings and stampings.

☛ Babbit metal is a tin base white metal which contains 88% tin, 8% antimony and 4% copper .This is mainly used as a bearing metal.

☛ Bright steel contains 0.05 to 0.45% carbon and up to 0.2%lead.It is used for making set screws, bolts, pins which withstand high loads at longer time.

☛ High speed steel is an alloy of 18% tungsten, 4% chromium,1% vanadium,4%cobalt and 0.7% carbon. This is generally used for making machine tools like lathe ,planer, shaper, taps , drills and milling cutters.

It is a process of making outer surfaces harder of the steel part. Generally it is done for the following purposes,

☛ To make outer surface harder.

☛ To bring the cost cheaper

☛ To utilize low carbon steel.

Process of extraction of iron is called Smelting.

Babbit metal is a tin base white metal which contains 88% tin, 8% antimony and 4% copper .This is mainly used as a bearing metal.

It is the property of metal due to which a metal is capable of resisting deflection due to an externally applied load.

It is the property of metal due to which a metal can be drawn into the form of wires without rupture.

Because it has more compressive strength and negligible shrinkage. It can easily cast into any integral shape, wear resisting and can absorb vibrations.

Hardened steel have contains fine grains.

Heat treatment is an operation involving heating and cooling of metals to change its properties.
