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.
