Types of Technological Properties of Materials

It determine behavior of materials in fabrication process

A. Malleability:

Metal ability to be deformed with cold deformation in all directions into thin sheets by squeezing rolling or

hamming without rapture

Examples:

Gold, Silver, Aluminum, Copper, Tin, Lead, Platinum, Iron and Nickel.

B. Machinability:
Metal ability to be cut by turning, drilling, boring () , milling.etc.

Examples:

White Cast Iron, wrought iron low alloy steel, Copper, Aluminum, and Grey Cast Iron.

C. Weldability:

Metal ability to be joint two similar or dissimilar metals by welding.

Examples:

Iron carbon Steel cast, Iron Low alloy steels & Stainless steel.

D. Formability :

Metal ability to be formed (pressed by forging i.e.) into different shapes and sizes.
Examples:

Low carbon steels, medium carbon steel.

E. Castability:

Metal ability to be formed into different shapes and sizes from its liquid state.
Examples:
Most of metals have good Castability: Aluminum, Cast iron, Copper, Brass, Leadetc.
