Classification:
◦Metals → ◦Ferrous ◦Non Ferrous
◦Ceramics
◦Organics
◦Composites
METALS
 Play a major role in industrial and everyday life of
human being
 Characteristics:

Hardness,plastic deformation,Thermal and

electrical characteristics ,Ductility, Malleability,
Machinability ,Weldability,Castability
Example: Iron,Aluminium,Copper,Zinc
 Ferrous Material: 50%<Fe
Example: Carbon steel,Alloy steel, Stainless
steel

 Non Ferrous:50%>Fe
Example: Gold,Silver,Nickel
CERAMIC MATERIALS
 Inorganic , Non metallic solids
 Rock/Clay mineral materials
 Characteristics

brittleness ,hardness ,insulation ,corrosion

resistance
Example: Sand,brick,glass,cement
ORGANIC MATERIALS
 Composed of carbon compounds
 Organic materials
 Characteristics:

Light wt, soft, ductile,combustible

Example:rubber,plastic,fuels,wood
COMPOSITES
 Combination of two materials
 Fibre-glass
 Strength-glass
 Flexibility-fibre
PROPERTIES-OVERVIEW
 Hardness
 Ability to resist abrasion, penetration, cutting or
permanent distortion
 Brittleness
 Property of metal that allows little bending or deformation
without shattering
 Malleable
 A metal that can be hammered, rolled or pressed into
various shapes without cracking or breaking
 Ductility
 Property of metal that allows it to be permanently drawn,
bent, or twisted into various shapes without breaking
 Elasticity
 Property enables metal to return to its original shape when
the force which causes the change of shape is removed
CON’T
 Toughness
 A material that will withstand tearing or shearing and
may be stretched without being deformed or breaking
 Density
 Weight of a unit volume of material
 Fusibility
 The ability of a metal to become liquid when heated
(can be welded)
 Conductivity
 Property which enables a metal to carry heat or
electricity
 Contraction & Expansion
 Reaction produced in metals as the result of heating or
cooling
METALWORKING PROCESSES
 Hot working
 Cold Working
 Extruding
 Welding
 Brazing/Soldering
