Find 3 appropriate material types to use in your object (from the engineering material).
What is the type your materials selected (metal - polymer - composite - ceramics)? And Describe
the enabling their property?
Cast iron: metal
A few common mechanical properties for cast iron include:
Hardness : resistance to abrasion and indentation
Toughness : capability to absorb energy
Ductility : capability to deform without fracture
Elasticity : capability to return to its original dimensions after it is deformed
Malleability – capability to deform under compression before rupturing
Tensile strength : the greatest longitudinal stress a material can withstand without tearing
apart
كليــــــة الهندسة
Fatigue strength : the highest stress that a material can bear for a given number of cycles
without breaking.
Very good torsion strength compared to still.
Lustrous
Good conductivity of heat and electricity
High melting point
High density
Usually solid at average room temperature
Opaque as a thin sheet so what behind it can’t be seen
Metals are sonorous or make a bell-like sound when hit
What are the atomic number, atomic mass, density and type of bonding of your choice materials?
And calculate the number of atoms in one cubic centimeter in it?
Cast iron:
materials Atomic no. Atomic mass Bonding type density Atoms/cm^3
Since cast iron is made of iron in majority, we will discuss this element:
iron is an element with 26 electrons and additionally protons and for normal 30 neutrons in the
nucleus as the figure shows the electronic configuration and the orbit shapes in the atom and its
properties:
Describe and illustrate the solidification process of your choice materials in terms of the nucleation
and growth of crystals?
كليــــــة الهندسة
Draw the cooling curve (solidification time) of your choice materials? And determine the value of
melting temperature?
Experimental cast iron cooling curve:
كليــــــة الهندسة
Of course the time will be the same for solidification of the 560kw is taken from the internal energy
to turn to work in a adiabatic process.
Sketch the stress-strain curve and illustrated the main point of your choice materials?
كليــــــة الهندسة
Determine the values of the yield stress, fracture stress, tensile strength, strain energy and
toughness of your choice materials?
-65.5 - 1450 MPa yield tensile strength according to its density

Conclusions
After observing cast iron properties including its high torsional strength as it’s better than steel in
and fatigue strength that ‘s very which is required for cars machinery as they function quickly and
do numerous work every day and also could be modified or enhanced with composition or heat
treatment to change resilience or with understanding of the fundamental relationships
between microstructure (phases, microconstituents, and the distribution of those constituents) and
the process variables of iron composition and the introduction of significant additives in molten
metal processing, so it’s a preferable material for car axles as it’s furthermore a cheap material
and easy to manufacture.
