1 Aluminium A large Aluminium billet from which wrought products will be produced.

2 Aluminium Smelter (Norway)

3 Cast Structure of Al Ingot

4 Boat Hulls Aluminium boat hulls offer corrosion resistance and light weight.

5 XJ6 Aluminium Body

6 XJ6 Aluminium Chassis

7 Aluminium Bumper Beams

8 Aluminium Engine Blocks (Lupo)

9 Audi A2 engine block

10 Aluminium Bottles

11 Aluminium Forging

12 Forged Aluminium Wheels

13 Al heat transfer components

14 Aluminium Roofing

15 Other non-ferrous metals Copper Tin Lead Zinc Titanium Lithium Nickel Chromium

16 Copper Moderate strength in the pure state Malleable and ductile Very good electrical and thermal conductor Good corrosion resistance Alloys with Zinc to give brass Alloys with Tin and others to make bronze

17 Copper Roofing

18 Copper as a Biocide

19 Copper as a Heat Exchanger

20 Tin Soft and corrosion resistant. Used to alloy with lead to make solder Used to alloy with copper to produce bronzes, e.g. Bell metal

21 Bell Metal

22 Lead High Density Corrosion Resistant Malleable, but not ductile Very soft and weak

23 Lead Applications

24 Lead as a Roofing Material

25 Zinc No structural engineering uses in pure state Used as sacrificial anodes to protect steel. Used as an alloy with copper to produce brass Used to corrosion coat steel by: –Galvanising or –Plating

26 Brass Components

27 Magnesium Light weight – S.G. of 1.7 Burns easily when being machined Used with Aluminium to make lightweight alloys.

28 Magnesium

29 Magnesium Wheel

30 Lithium Very light, S.G. of 0.5! Used to make alloys with Aluminium for aerospace applications. Used in batteries for mobile phones etc.

31 Titanium Low density (S.G. of 4.5, as compared to steel at approx 8) Similar strengths to steels Highly corrosion resistant Melts at 1670°C Use restricted to <400 °C

32 Titanium Used in Aerospace parts Racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles Pipework and heat exchangers in chemical plants and oil installations.

33 Titanium heat- exchangers

34 Nickel Corrosion resistant – forms strong oxide layer. Brittle in the pure state Used in stainless steels Alloyed with copper to produce cupronickels for coinage and Monel for corrosion-resistant valve parts. Used in Nimonic and superalloys for aerospace engine parts.

35 Nickel-based superalloys

36 Single-crystal blades

37 Chromium Corrosion resistant – forms strong oxide layer. Brittle in the pure state Used in stainless steels Used with Ni & Mo to produce strong steel alloys for bicycle and motorcycle frame tubes.
