ALLOYS

Prepared by:
Ahmad Najibullah Bin Che Mohd
WHAT IS ALLOYS ?
An alloy is a partial or complete solid
solution of one or more element in
a metallic matrix.

Complete solid solution alloys give single solid phase


microstructure, while partial solutions give two or more
phases that may be homogeneous in distribution
depending on thermal (heat treatment) history.
 Only a few elements are widely used
commercially in their pure form.

 Generally, other elements are present to


produce greater strength, to improve
corrosion resistance, or simply as impurities
left over from the refining process.

PROPERTIES OF

Titanium

Titanium also features excellent corrosion


resistance, which stems from a thin oxide
surface film which protects it from
atmospheric and ocean conditions as well
as a wide variety of chemicals.
Is a white metal, and has the best strength to weight ratio among
the metals. Titanium is very reactive, and because of this it is
often used for alloying and deoxidizing other metals. Titanium is a
more powerful deoxidizer of steel than silicon or manganese.

Titanium is 40% lighter than steel and 60% heavier than


aluminum. This combination of high strength and low
weight makes titanium a very useful structural metal.

Aluminium

is a silverfish white metal that has a strong


resistance to corrosion and like gold, is rather
malleable. It is a relatively light metal
compared to metals such as steel, nickel, brass,
and copper with a specific gravity of 2.7.
Aluminum is easily machinable and can have a wide variety of surface
finishes. It also has good electrical and thermal conductivities and is
highly reflective to heat and light.

Copper is the more widely used conductor, having a


conductivity of approximately 161% that of aluminum.

Aluminum alloys have a strong resistance to corrosion which is a


result of an oxide skin that forms as a result of reactions with the
atmosphere .

Alloy Steels

comprise a wide variety of steels which have


compositions that exceed the limitations of C, Mn,
Ni, Mo, Cr, Va, Si, and B which have been set for
carbon steels. However, steels containing more
than 3.99% chromium are classified differently
as stainless and tool steels.
Alloy steels are always killed, but can use
unique deoxidization or melting
processes for specific applications. Alloy
steels are generally more responsive to
heat and mechanical treatments
than carbon steels.

• Aerospace alloys
 Scandium-Aluminum
 The main application of scandium by weight is
in aluminum-scandium alloys for minor
aerospace industry components. These alloys
contain between 0.1% and 0.5% of scandium.
They were used in the Russian military
aircraft Mig 21 and Mig 29.
• Marine alloys
 These alloys are used for boat building and
shipbuilding, and other marine and salt-water
sensitive shore applications.
• Automotive alloys
 6111 aluminum is extensively used for
automotive body panels.
• Sporting equipment
 titanium is used in sporting equipment
