STEELS
0.3%C, bolts, nuts and sheet plates.
cutlery, cable.
ALLOY
Steels containing
significant amounts of
STEELS
alloying elements.
Structural-grade alloy steels used for
construction industries due to high
strength.
Other alloy steels are used for its
strength, hardness, resistance to creep
and fatigue, and toughness.
It may heat treated to obtain the desired
properties.
CAST
IRON
Iron with 1.7 to 4.5% carbon and 0.5 to 3% silicon
TYPES AND
APPLICATIONS
Grey cast iron
White cast iron
Malleable cast iron
APPLICATIONS
Brake drums, clutch plates
Engines - Cylinder blocks, liners,
Pipe and pipe fittings
Crankshafts, front wheel spindle supports,
steering knuckles, disc brake callipers

MAGNESIUM
Magnesium
(Mg) is the lightest
ALLOYS
metal.
Alloys are used in structural and
non-structural applications.
Typical uses of magnesium alloys
are aircraft and missile components.
Also has good vibration-damping
characteristics.
COPPER

ALLOYS
NICKEL ALLOYS
Nickel (Ni) has strength, toughness,
and corrosion resistance to metals.
Used in stainless steels and nickelbase alloys.
Alloys are used for high temperature
applications, such as jet-engine
components and rockets.
TITANIUM
Titanium (Ti)
ALLOYS
is expensive, has high
