Metals

 There are hundreds of metals which are used in engineering


applications.
 All the metals are extracted from quarries in the form of ores. They
are made pure by some special methods in the industries.

 Metals used in manufacturing are usually alloys, which are


composed of two or more elements, with at least one being a
metallic element.

 Metals are classified into two main groups depending upon


presence of iron content.
(1) Ferrous and
(2) Nonferrous.

 Density - The mass per unit volume of a material.
 Electrical Resistivity - This is a measure of a material’s ability to
conduct electricity. A material with a low resistivity will conduct
electricity well.
 Thermal Conductivity - A measure of how fast heat is conducted
through a slab of material with a given temperature difference
across the slab.
 Thermal Expansion - A measure of the degree of increase in
dimensions when an object is heated. This can be measured by an
increase in length, area or volume. The expansivity can be
measured as the fractional increase in dimension per Kelvin
increase in temperature.
 Hardness - The resistance a material offers to penetration or
scratching.

Alloys of Copper
1. Brasses 2. Bronzes, 3. Cupronickel
Class Cupper Zink
Alpha >65 <35 Alpha brasses are malleable, can be worked cold, and are used in pressing,
Brasses forging, or similar applications. They contain only one phase, with FCC
structure. With their high proportion of copper, these brasses have a more
golden hue than others
Alpha- 55-65 35-45 Also called duplex brasses, these are suited for hot working. They contain
beta both α and β' phases; the β'-phase is BCC and is harder and stronger than α.
Brasses Alpha-beta brasses are usually worked hot. The higher proportion of zinc
means these brasses are brighter than alpha brasses.
Beta 50-55 45-50 Beta brasses can only be worked hot, and are harder, stronger, and suitable
Brasses for casting. The high zinc-low copper content means these are some of the
brightest and least-golden of the common brasses
Gamma 33-39 61-67 There are also Ag-Zn and Au-Zn gamma brasses, Ag 30–50%, Au 41%.
Brases
White <50 >50 These are too brittle for general use. The term may also refer to certain
Brases types of nickel silver alloys as well as Cu-Zn-Sn alloys with high proportions
(typically 40%+) of tin and/or zinc, as well as predominantly zinc casting
alloys with copper additives. These have virtually no yellow coloring at all,

Ni based superalloys
 A superalloy is a metallic alloy which is developed to resist most of all
high temperatures, usually in cases until 70 % of the absolute melting
temperature.
 All of these alloys have an excellent creep, corrosion and oxidation
resistance as well as a good surface stability and fatigue life.
 The main alloying elements are nickel, cobalt or nickel – iron, which
can be found in the 8th group of the periodic system of the elements.

Ni based superalloys
 Fields of application are found particularly in the aerospace industry
and in the nuclear industries, e.g. for engines and turbines

All superalloys have an austenitic face-centered cubic, which delivers


advantages such as:
 better mechanical properties
 higher modulus
 higher solubility of alloying elements
 systems

Ni based superalloys
Fundamentals of nickel-base Superalloys
 Nickel-based superalloys can be strengthened through solid-solution
and precipitation.
 The solid-solution strengthens superalloys, such as Hastelloy X are
used for burner and combustor applications in gas turbine engines.
 They have particularly high-temperature corrosion resistance,
excellent fabricability and weldability but lower mechanical strength.
 The precipitation-strengthened alloys are constituted in applications
requiring high temperature strength and good corrosion and creep
resistance, for instance as turbine blades and vanes in the gas
turbine.
 Nickel-based superalloys can be used for a higher fraction of melting
temperature and are therefore more favourable than cobalt-based
and iron-nickel-based superalloys at service temperatures close to
the melting temperature of the materials.

Ni based superalloys
Fundamentals of nickel-base Superalloys
 A two-phase equilibrium microstructure is generated, consisting of
gamma (γ) and gammaprime (γ´) with a very unusual crystallographic
relationship between the γ and γ´ phases.
 Both phases are face-centered-cubic, have almost identical lattice
dimensions and also similar orientation.
 Consequently the two phases are almost coherent.
 The lattice sites in the γ-phase are totally equivalent and the atoms
constituting the solid solution being distributed randomly ( Figure 3 ).
 The continuous phase γ is nonmagnetic. Because nickel has a nearly
filled 3rd electronic shell which allows alloying with solid solution
strengthening elements without losses in phase stability.
 The alloy elements assembling mainly the gamma matrix belong to
Group V, VI and VII and are cobalt, iron, chromium, molybdenum and
tungsten

Ni based superalloys
 A super alloy is an alloy that exhibits several key characteristics like
excellent mechanical strength, resistance to thermal creep
deformation, good surface stability, and resistance to corrosion or
oxidation.
 The crystal structure is typically face-centered cubic .

 Examples:- Hastelloy , Inconel , Waspaloy, Rene alloys, Haynes alloys,


Incoloy, MP98T, TMS alloys, and CMSX single crystal alloys.
 Super alloys develop high temperature strength through solid
solution strengthening
 Another important strengthening mechanism is precipitation
strengthening which forms secondary phase precipitates such as
gamma prime and carbides.
 Oxidation or corrosion resistance is provided by elements such as
aluminium and chromium.
 Alloying

 Super alloys are classified into three based on the predominant metal

 Iron based Super alloy
 Cobalt based Super alloy

Ni based superalloys
 Nickel based Super alloys can be strengthened by either Solid
solution strengthening or Precipitation hardening.
 Most Ni based alloy contain 10-20% Cr, up to 8% Al and Ti, 5-10% Co,
and small amounts of B , Zr and C
 Other common additions are molybdenum, niobium, and tungsten,
all of which play dual roles as strengthening solutes and carbide
formers.
 Chromium and aluminium improves surface stability through the
formation of Cr2O3 and Al2O3
