No Statements Materials
1 A metal used to make aircraft Aluminium
2 Plastics used for adhesive Epoxy resin
3 Steel which can be hardened Brass
4 An alloy suitable for castings Expoxy resin
5 A plastic with very low friction Acrylic
6 A material suitable for safety helmets Abs
7 A metal suitable for a salt-water environment Polyester resin
8 A metal for general constructions use but which should be Brass
protected from corrosion
9 A plastic for car bodies Polyester resin
10 The metal used for the conductors in printed circuit board Copper

Task 4.
Direction: Use the table on page 23 to make definitions of each of the materials in column A. Choose the
correct information in columns B and C to describe the materials in column A.
For example:
1. An alloy is a material which is formed by mixing metals or elements.
2. A thermoplastic is a material which is becomes plastic when heated
3. Mild steel is an alloy which is contains iron and 0.15% to 0.3% carbon
4. A conductor is a material which is allows heat or current to flow easily
5. An insulator a material which is does not allow heat or current to flow easily
6. High carbon steel is an alloy which is contains iron and 0.7% to 1.4% carbon
7. Bras is an alloy which is consists of copper and zinc
8. A thermosetting plastic a material which is remains rigid at hight temperatures
