Introduction

This work includes some questions of the first two sessions of the topics seen in class such as

composition of metallic materials, alloys and non-metallic materials. Some denominations

such as AISI(american iron and steel institute) and SAE(society of ingennieers automotive)

for simple and alloy steels were also explained.

Questionary

6. Complete the following phrases:

 Brass is an alloy of __Copper___ and _____Zinc___.

 The mixture of copper and ___Tin_____ produces bronze.

 Tinplate is produced using ____Iron____ sheet covered by ____Tin___ sheet.

 Sort the following materials in order of mayor at lower hardness and indicate their hardness

value: cast , iron and steel

1.Steel

2.Iron

3Cast

16. What is the metal most used by man? Support it with 5 examples

Aluminum thanks to its good resistance to corrosion and its good weight resistance ratio.

Examples:

-Bicicly frame

-Automobile body

-White line stoves, washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves

-Windows and doors

-Cookware

26. What are alloy steels? Cite some alloy elements used in steels, indicating the

characteristics it provides to the alloy.

Alloy steels: These are simple steels to which specific elements are added to improve their

properties, the quantity of the corresponding element has specified limits already established.

-Nickel: great tenacity, greater resistance to oxidation and greater resistance to high

temperatures.

- Molybdenum: this element improves tensile strength, hardenability.

-Chrome: Increases the depth of hardening and improves resistance to wear and corrosion.

- Boron: Increases hardenability
