3. Introduction:
-A ferrous metal is a metal primarily made of

and electricity.

4. Introduction:
- Metal alloys have high resistance to shear,
torque and deformation. Corrosion resistance
property makes them useful in food processing
plants, e.g., steel.

7. Cast Iron:
-Cast iron is iron or a ferrous alloy which has been
heated until it liquefies, and is then poured into a mould
to solidify. It is usually made from pig iron.
-Cast iron is made by re-melting pig iron, scrap iron,
scrap steel, lime stone, carbon (coke) and taking various
steps to remove undesirable contaminants.
-Cast iron is one of the oldest ferrous metals used in
construction and outdoor ornament. It is primarily
composed of iron (Fe), carbon (C) and silicon (Si), but
may also contain traces of sulphur (S), manganese (Mn)
and phosphorus (P).
- It has a relatively high carbon content of 2% to 5%. It
is hard, brittle, non-malleable.

8. Properties of Cast Iron:
- Higher Tensile strength,

10. Classification of Cast Iron:
White CI:
Has a white crystalline fracture
surface because fracture occurs
along the iron carbide plates.
Considerable strength,
insignificant ductility.
A type of cast iron that has a
graphitic microstructure. It is
named after the gray colour of
the fracture it forms.
Grey CI:
11. Classification of Cast Iron:
Ductile CI:
Also known as nodular cast
iron, ductile iron has much
more impact and fatigue
resistance, due to its nodular
graphite structure.
Malleable iron is cast as White
iron, the structure being a
metastable carbide in a
pearlitic matrix.
Malleable CI:
12. Classification of Cast Iron:
Alloy CI:
-It is alloys of Ni, Cr, Mo, Cu, Si, Mn.
- It is very strong material.
- Corrosion resistant.
- Wear resistant.
- Electricity resistant.

13. Effects of alloying element in Cast Iron:
Silicon:
• It may be present in cast iron upto 4%.
• It provides the formation of free graphite which makes the
iron soft and easily machinable.
• It also produces sound castings free from blow-
holes, because of its high affinity for oxygen.
Sulphur:
• It makes the cast iron hard and brittle.
• Since too much sulphur gives unsound casting, therefore,
it should be kept well below 0.1% for most foundry
purposes.
Manganese:
• It makes the cast iron white and hard.
• It is often kept below 0.75%.
• It helps to exert a controlling influence over the harmful
effect of sulphur.

14. Effects of alloying element in Cast Iron:
Phosphorus:
• It aids fusibility and fluidity in cast iron, but induces
brittleness.
• It is rarely allowed to exceed 1%.
• Phosphoric irons are useful for casting.
Carbon:
• The quantity of carbon in pig iron varies from 4 to 4.5%.
Source of carbon in steel is coal.
• Carbon is present in pig iron either in free state as
graphite or in combined state as iron carbide.
• Carbon in pig iron increases its hardness.

15. Steel:
• Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon that is widely
used in construction and other applications because of
its high tensile strength and low cost.
• The carbon in typical steel alloys may contribute up
to 2.1% of its weight.
• Steel is one of the world's most-recycled materials,
with a recycling rate of over 60% globally.
• Steel are used widely in the construction of roads,
railways, other infrastructure, appliances, and
buildings.

16. Types of Steel:
1) Carbon Steels:
It contain trace amounts of alloying elements and
account for 90% of total steel production. Carbon steels
can be further categorized into three groups depending
on their carbon content:
Low Carbon Steels/Mild Steels contain up to 0.3% carbon
Medium Carbon Steels contain 0.3 – 0.6% carbon
High Carbon Steels contain more than 0.6% carbon

2) Alloy Steels:
• Alloy steels contain alloying elements in varying
proportions in order to change the steel's properties, such
as its hardenability, corrosion resistance, strength,
formability, weldability or ductility.
• Applications for alloys steel include pipelines, auto
parts, transformers, power generators and electric
motors.
17. Types of Steel:
3) Stainless Steels:
Stainless steels generally contain between 10-20%
chromium as the main alloying element and are valued
for high corrosion resistance.
With over 11% chromium, steel is about 200 times more
resistant to corrosion than mild steel.
4) Tool Steels:
Tool steels contain tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt and
vanadium in varying quantities to increase heat
resistance and durability, making them ideal for cutting
and drilling equipment.
