2.1. Introduction
• Metallic materials are pure metals (gold, silver, copper, zinc, titanium,
iron etc) and alloys (composed of two or more elements, with at least
one being a metallic element), metallic bond is unique or predominant
• Metallic materials usually show extremely good conductors of
electricity and heat, not transparent to visible light, a polished metal
surface has a lustrous appearance, quite strong, deformable

metals and alloys that contain a large percentage of iron such as the
steels and cast irons and nonferrous metals and alloys that do not
contain iron or contain only a relatively small amount of iron

by weight of the metallic materials used by human beings are steels
• Iron: less than 0.008 wt % C
• Steels: 0.008 - 2.14 wt % C (usually < 1 wt % )

2.1. Introduction
• Steels divide to carbon steel and alloy steel
• Alloy steel is a class of steel that, in addition to carbon, is alloyed with
other elements, ranging from 1 wt.% to 50 wt.%, to enhance the
various properties, elements commonly include manganese, nickel,
chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, silicon, and boron; less common
elements include aluminium, cobalt, copper, cerium, niobium,
titanium, tungsten, tin, zinc, lead, and zirconium
• Low alloy steels generally contain less than 8 wt.% non-iron elements,
whereas high-alloy steels contain more than 8 wt.% non-iron
elements. Both typically have superior mechanical properties in
comparison to carbon steels
• Stainless steel or inox steel or inox from French "inoxydable", is a steel
alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass

• Dung dịch rắn xen kẽ
• Đường kính nguyên tử của nguyên tố hòa tan phải nhỏ hơn đáng kể
đường kính nguyên tử của nguyên tố dung môi
• Kích thước của nguyên tử hòa tan phải nhỏ hơn hoặc bằng kích
thước lỗ hổng trong mạng tinh thể của dung môi. Tuy nhiên trong
một số trường hợp, dung dịch rắn xen kẽ vẫn được tạo thành dù kích
thước nguyên tử hòa tan lớn hơn kích thước lỗ hổng
• Khi tạo dung dịch rắn xen kẽ thì số nguyên tử / ô cơ sở sẽ tăng lên
nhưng kiểu mạng tinh thể của dung môi không thay đổi

solid solution of carbon in ferrite

2.8. Metallic alloys


• An intermetallic alloy (intermetallic compound, IMC, hợp kim/hợp chất
liên kim loại) is a type of metallic alloy that exists in form of chemical
compound between two or more metallic elements or metallic
elements and non-metal elements whose crystal structure differs from
that of the other constituents
• Au2Pb, Mg2Pb, AlSb, Ni3Al, FeAl, NiAl, Ti3Al, Ni3Al, Cu3Sn, Ag3Sn,
Mo5Ru3, W3Ru2, MoSi2, Ni2AlTi
• Intermetallic alloys have a fixed composition
• The strong bonding between unlike atoms, in general, a mixture
between metallic, ionic and covalent to different extents, the properties
often differ markedly from those of their constituents (often have high
melting temperatures >1000oC)
• Intermetallics remain many metallic characteristics, including luster,
and electrical and thermal conductivity, generally hard and brittle, with
good high-temperature mechanical properties (their properties are
often found among ceramic and metallic materials)

• They offer a compromise between ceramic and metallic properties when


hardness and/or resistance to high temperatures is important enough to
sacrifice some toughness and ease of processing. They can also display
desirable magnetic, superconducting and chemical properties, due to their
strong internal order and mixed (metallic and covalent /ionic) bonding

• Brasses are alloys composed of copper and zinc, zinc percentage within
brass alloys can vary from 5 to 40%
• Alpha brasses contain < 35% Zn, copper-rich alloy and forms a unique
solid solution (substitutional) of face-centered cubic copper matrix
• Alpha-beta brasses contain between 37% and 45% of Zn (a body
centered cubic phase called β phase, with zinc atoms in the center of
the cubes)
• Beta brasses (zinc 50%, CuZn), which contain only one phase, with
BCC crystal structure, is a intermetallic compound
• The beta phase is generally harder than the alpha phase
• Copper-rich brass alloys are
called red brasses, while
brasses with a higher Zn
content are termed yellow
brasses

• Maraging steels consist of a martensitic matrix of very low carbon
content strengthened by the precipitation of a large number of
nanometer sized intermetallic compound phases
• Maraging steels contain around 18 wt% Ni with high levels of Co (8~13
wt%) and Mo (3~5 wt%) as well as smaller additions of other alloying
elements such as Ti and Al
950 °C for a hour
The term “maraging,” which is formed from the
words “martensitic” and “aging”

480–500 °C for a number of hours

Due to the high alloy


concentration, the primary
types of precipitates Ni3Mo,
Ni3Ti, Ni3Al, and Fe2Mo
occur in high volumes
