1、Chapter 8 Nonferrous Metals and Alloys,Most engineering metallic materials are alloys. Metals are alloyed to enhance their properties, such as strength, hardness or corrosion resistance, and to create new properties, such as shape memory effect. Engineering alloys can be broadly divided into Ferrous

6、l applications. It is alloyed to improve strength. Al is mainly alloyed with any or combination of five elements: Cu, Mn, Mg, Zn, Si In addition to alloying, Al alloys are also hardened by cold working and by precipitation hardening.

9、e most recyclable metal. The energy (cost) consumed to reproduce one tone of Al from scrap is 5% of that consumed to produce 1 tone premier Al from minerals. This is mainly due to two facts: (1) Al has a low melting temperature (little energy is required for melting) and (2) Al is corrosion resistan

10、t (so little metal is lost). Currently 30% of the world Al consumption comes from recycled products. In developed countries, 41% Al beverage cans are recycled.,8.2 Cu and its Alloys,General properties Yield strength: 20-200 MPa Tensile: 200-400 MPa Youngs modulus: 117 GPa FCC structure: excellent fo

Chemical lead is lead wi

21、th traces of copper and silver left in from the original ore. It is not economical to recover the copper and silver. The copper content is believed to improve the general corrosion resistance and to add stiffness.,Antimonial lead (also called hard lead) is an alloy containing from 2 to 6 wt. % antim

22、ony (Sb) to improve the mechanical properties. It is used in places where greater strength is needed. Hard lead can be used in services up to 93 C. Above this temperature strength and corrosion resistance are reduced. Tellurium lead is a lead alloy containing a fraction of a percent of tellurium (Te

23、). This alloy has better resistance to fatigue failure caused by vibration because of its ability to work harden under strain.,8.5.3 Sn and its Alloys,Sn has two allotropes: a-Sn (grey tin) and b-Sn (white tin). At room temperature, the metallic b-Sn called white tin exhibits a structure having a te

24、tragonal crystal lattice and a high density (7.298 g/cm3), while below the transition temperature of 13.1 C the thermodynamic stable form is the a-Sn, also called grey tin, with a cubic crystal lattice of diamond and exhibiting a much lower density (5.75 g/cm3).,Applications: Solder is now the large

25、st end-use application for Sn, accounting for 36% of total consumption. Tin use in solder has grown very rapidly in recent years with the boom in consumer electrical appliances and electronics. The second important market for tin is in the chemical industries (28%) as a heat stabilizing additive in

26、PVC, catalyst, additive in pigment, and in flame retardants.,巴氏合金轴瓦,焊料,8.5.4 Zn and its Alloys,Pure zinc (Zn) is a hard, dense (7.133 g/cm3), and low-melting-point (419.527 C) metal with a bluish-white luster when freshly cut; it is not tarnished in dry air but becomes slightly tarnished in moist ai

27、r. It exhibits a low electrical resistivity (5.916 .cm) and a good thermal conductivity (113 Wm-1K-1). Zinc crystal structure is hexagonal close-packed (hcp), which explains its hardness at room temperature.,The most important property of zinc metal is its ability to form an alloy with iron so that

28、a thin adherent layer can be applied to the surface of iron workpieces. The zinc coating, obtained either by hot-dip galvanizing or aqueous electrogalvanizing, considerably extends the service life of steel constructions. In addition, Zn alloys can be easily cast into intricate shapes that are used

29、extensively in household goods and automotive equipment, building, and construction utilities.,8.5.5 Zr and its Alloys,Zr and its alloys are ductile and have other mechanical characteristics that are comparable to those of Ti alloys and the austenitic stainless steels. However, the primary asset of

30、these alloys is their resistance to corrosion in a host of corrosive media, including superheated water. Zr is transparent to thermal neutrons, so that its alloys have been used as cladding for uranium fuel in watercooled nuclear reactors.,8.5.6 The refractory metals,Metals that have extremely high

31、melting temperatures are classified as the refractory metals. Included in this group are niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), and tantalum (Ta). Melting temperatures range between 2468 C for Nb and 3410 C for W, the highest melting temperature of any metal.,The applications of these metals a

32、re varied. Ta and Mo are alloyed with stainless steel to improve its corrosion resistance. Mo-based alloys are utilized for extrusion dies and structural parts in space vehicles; incandescent light filaments, x-ray tubes, and welding electrodes employ tungsten alloys. Ta is immune to chemical attack
