environment Defects in material Inadequacy in design Deficiency in construction or maintenance The strength of materials can be increased significantly. But sometimes this comes at the cost of reduced ductility of the material. For example, strength of steel can be increased by manipulating the microstructure. But this increases the brittleness of the material. Thus, a member can fail catastrophically due to crack formation and propagation, with little or no warning. A crack in a member…

iron as an alloy to create steel, which can be stronger up to 10x Most of the metals in Periodic Table have high malleability. This also includes iron, aluminium and…

CHAPTER- 5 ANALYSIS OF STEEL LEAF SPRING ________________________________________________________________ The aim of this analysis is to study the multi-leaf steel leaf spring under loading conditions and verify those results within the allowable limits. ANSYS software is used to analyze the stresses and strains by performing static analysis for the given leaf spring specifications and modal analysis is performed to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes to asses the behavior of the…

AC 2.3: Explain the method of making titanium alloy and investigate how the composition and structure of metal alloys, polymers and poly-matrix composites influence the properties of the parent material. 1. Extraction process. 2. Melting process. 3. Storage process. Extraction of Titanium by Kroll process: First titanium ore Rutile (TiO2) is taken. Rutile is converted into titanium sponge by the following process: Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) – a colourless compound is obtained as a result…

Being the largest organ in your body, your skin works really hard to protect you against germs, pollution and extreme temperatures. It keeps you warm in winters and cool in summers. Your skin is also the first to show indications of an underlying problem in your body and the signs include dryness, oiliness, eczema, sores, moles, bruises, etc. And these are a few of the reasons why you should take care of your skin. Skin care is not just about using expensive skin care products. It entails…

Bending Strength requirement This is the first body requirement and its task is to support all the vehicle subsystems. The body in static is going to suffer bending due to the weight of the components, passengers, fuel and cargo, Figure 42. Similar to a beam simple supported, the very first requirement is that the structure bend sufficient to absorb the energy due to the weight, but has to withstand the weight under different loading scenarios. Figure 42: Body loading under a static scenario…

Titanium is a low-density element (has 60% density of steel), that be able to be highly modified by alloying and distortion processing. Titanium is non magnetic, non toxic and has good heat transfer properties. Titanium and its alloys have melting points advanced those of steels, but maximum useful temperatures for structural applications usually range from 425-540C°. Titanium has good resistance to attack by most mineral acids and chlorides [ASM]. The combination of high strength, stiffness,…

machining qualities and can be blanked, sheared and milled. Brass does not become brittle at low temperature like mild steel. Brass also has excellent thermal conductivity. Its electrical conductivity ranges from 23 to 44% that of pure copper. Copper is the main component, and brass is usually classified as a copper alloy Brass is stronger and harder than copper but not as strong or hard as steel Uses of brass metal Brass metal is used to make water fittings, screws, radiators, musical…

(1) Basic Substance. The basic substance used to make both steel and cast iron (gray and malleable) is the metal, iron in the form of pig iron. Pig iron is produced from iron ore, which occurs chiefly in nature as an oxide, the two most important oxides being hematite and magnetite. (2) Iron Ore. Iron ore is reduced to pig iron in a blast furnace, and the impurities are removed in the form of slag (figure 2 on the following page). Raw materials charged into the furnace include iron ore, coke,…
