The Iron Giant

Titanium was discovered in 1791 by William Gregor as a inclusion of a mineral in cornwall, it was named for the titans of greek mythology. The name is derived from the titans, the sons of earth goddess of greek mythology. Titanium has 22 protons, 26 neutrons, and 22 electrons. The atomic number of this element is 47,867. Titanium is a lustrous transition metal. William Gregor was a man who was interested in minerals. He recognized the presence of a new element. The boiling point for this element…

Iron is the next commonest metal on the earth. It may be found in the sun as well as in other, different types of stars. Iron is a one of the main elements used for meteorite classification. Meteorite classification is a group of meteorites of common origin, for example a planet moon asteroid or basically the other object in solar system. A German chemist called Gunter Wanchtershauser discovered reactions of Iron sulphide(FeS) with a help of another philosopher called Karl R.Poppe. Iron has…

Copper, also known as red metal, is one of the basic chemical elements. It was the first metal used by Neolithic humankind to supplement for stone tools dating back more than 10,000 years. Copper comes from copper ore, which is dug from the earth is melted and shaped into desired shape. Hydrothermal, heated water deep in earth’s crust seeps through cracks and fissures and dissolves certain minerals in the rocks, is the process that form copper. The mineral is carried along with hot water…

A polymer is a large molecule which is formed by repeated linkage of small molecule called monomers. Conducting polymer have been the subjects for many decades as possible synthetic metals. Many of these polymer, especially those with a conjugated pi-bond system ,often yield higher conductivity once having undergone the doping process. Polymers are typically insulators due to their very high resistivity .Insulators have tightly bound electrons so that nearly no electron flow occurs ,and they…

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…

refining slag with specific chemical composition, usually based on calcium oxide. The duration of mixing of the metal with the slag in inert gas, the early formation of refining slag, then optimization of the metal oxidation providing the formation of iron oxide FeO in the slag to be less than 0.5 % able process of desulfurization. Using of rare earth metals for desulphurization of steel is very promising. However, the number of practical and theoretical data on the use of rare earth metals for…

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,…

The addition of tin also improves the corrosion resistance. Iron makes the brass harder and makes the internal grain structure smaller to make proper shape of brass. Arsenic and Antimony are sometimes added to brasses that contain more than 20% zinc to inhibit corrosion. Other materials like manganese, silicon and…

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, and limestone. The pig iron produced is used to…

4.TAGUCHI ANALYSIS FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS To examine the 100Cr6 bearing steel through DCT, and to identify the optimum parameter condition of the DCT process, the prediction of the Taguchi analysis is used. The Taguchi analysis and ANOVA, gives the optimized parameter setting and the most influential factor of the DCT process respectively. The quality performance of the deep cryo-treated 100Cr6 steel samples based on the L9 OA was evaluated by conducting the reciprocatory wear tests.…
