7.  Metal is an element.  There are over 100 known elements, and about 75 percent of them are classified as metals.

8.  An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, or of metals and one or more non- metals The elements added to a metal to form an alloy may be either metal or non-metal. In most cases alloys have more desirable properties and are less expensive than pure metals.

9.  High temperature creep is the slow stretching of steel (expansion) under stress at high temperatures.

10.  Adhesion is the sticking together of two unlike metals involving a mechanical bond.  The mechanical bond involves the flowing of a metal in a liquid form into the pores of a metal in a solid form.  Brazing & Soldering!

11.  Annealing is the softening of metal and removing of the brittleness.  The annealing process is done by heating the metal to a cherry red and then allowing it to cool slowly in vermiculite, dry hot sand, or a furnace.

12.  Tempering is obtaining the desired hardness and toughness in metal.

13.  This is done by heating the steel to a cherry red color, then cooling it quickly in water. Hardened steel is not only extremely hard but also brittle. Hardening is the first step in tempering. Hardness is the ability of a material to resist being indented.

14.  Casting is pouring melted metal into a mold so that it will be a certain shape after cooling.

15.  The capability of metal to be extended or shaped by being beaten with a hammer or by being pressed by rollers is known as malleable.

18.  brittleness  color  corrosion resistance  ductility  malleability  strength.

23.  Steel is an alloy of iron, carbon and other metals!

24.  Chromium makes the alloy hard and increases the wear and corrosion resistance of steel. Steels containing more than 4 percent chromium are called stainless steels.  Sulfur is added to aid in machinability of the steel.

25.  Silicon is added to improve the electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics.  Nickel is added to increase the toughness and strength.  Vanadium is added to increase the strength.

26.  Tungsten is used to produce tool steels that will maintain a cutting edge at high heat.  Aluminum helps to provide a hardened surface.  Molybdenum tends to increase the hardness and the endurance limits of steel.

27.  These metals can be broken down into four groups and classified as follows: Ferrous Metals - iron based metals Non-ferrous metals - Ferrous Alloys Non-ferrous Alloys

28.  Is a product of pig iron and contains a considerable amount of carbon and some impurities.  It is brittle and granular in structure. It is formed by pouring into special castings.

29.  Gray cast iron has been cooled slowly, allowing carbon to separate from the iron into pockets of carbon in the form of graphite. Gray cast iron is used in sprockets, stoves, and manifolds.  White cast iron has been cooled quickly to prevent carbon separation.

30.  A product of pig iron that has had most of the carbon removed, is a two-component metal consisting of high purity iron and iron silicate.  Wrought iron is the only ferrous metal that contains siliceous slag which helps prevent corrosion and fatigue.

31.  Are those which have no iron and are made up of a single element.  These are aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, tin, tungsten, zinc, silver, and gold.

32.  Is a silver-white, malleable, ductile metal.  It is known for it’s electrical conductivity, heat conductivity, rust resistance, and light weight.

33.  Reddish-brown in color.  Is used for tubes, wire, sheets, and plates.  It has excellent workability, either hot or cold, and the highest electrical and heat conductivity of all commercial metals.

34.  Has a bluish-white color and a bright luster.  It is soft, highly malleable, and ductile; has slight tenacity; and is a poor conductor of electricity.  It is used for making pipe and containers for corrosive liquids.

35.  Is a hard, malleable, ductile, tenacious white metal that is somewhat magnetic.  It is valuable for the alloys it forms with other metals.

36.  Does not corrode in humid conditions, adheres tenaciously to iron, has a low melting point  Used extensively in solder, brass, bronze, and pewter.

37.  One of the heaviest metals, used for making filaments for incandescent lamps.  Tungsten carbide is almost as hard as diamond and is used extensively for cutting tools. Also used as a TIG welding electrode.

38.  Bluish-white metal at ordinary temperatures it is brittle but malleable at high temperatures.  Used as a galvanizing metal coating to prevent corrosion.

39.  Shiny, white metal, used mostly for ornamental work, jewelry, and table- ware.  Silver is the best conductor of electricity.

40.  Is most often used for ornamental jewelry it is also an excellent conductor of electricity.

41.  Metals made up largely of ferrous materials but having other elements in sufficient quantities to change the ferrous characteristics.

42.  Can stand strain, hammering, shock, and hard wear.  It is used for the jaws of ore crushers, power shovels, chains, gears, and safes.

43.  Resists rust, shock, scratches, and stains.  It is used for bearings, safes, ore crushers, and is the basis for high-quality stainless steel.

44.  Is strong, hard, elastic, tough, and durable.  It does not rust easily.  Used for springs, cables, axles, shafts, and armor plate.

45.  Seldom rusts  Used for cutlery, precision measuring instruments, dentistry supplies, auto parts, and engine valves.

46.  Adds hardness to steel and allows it to withstand heat.  Tungsten carbide is the hardest metal known and is used for various cutting surfaces.

47.  Known for their strength and hardness  Used for hacksaw blades, high-grade machinery parts, bearings, and auto parts.

48.  Is tough and can withstand great shocks as well as resist corrosion.  Used for springs, gears, and vibrating parts of machinery.

50.  An alloy of copper and zinc.  It is ductile, malleable, and acid resistant.

51.  An alloy of copper and tin.  behaves very much like brass when welded.

52.  Because steel varies in carbon content and alloying elements, a system to group it using standards established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) was developed.

53.  In the SAE numbering system, the first digit indicates the general type of steel.  The second digit indicates the percentage of the main alloy in the steel.  The third and fourth digits show the Percent of carbon in the steel in a %.

54.  Physical and chemical tests are used to determine the type of metal.  Because so many kinds of metals are used in agriculture it is very important that you learn to identify them.

55.  Involves identification of a metal by its appearance and use.  Color and appearance make certain metals such as copper, brass, and bronze easy to identify.

56.  Involves identification of metal by the use of a magnet.

57.  Involves identification of metal by fracturing the metal and observing the grain.

58.  Involves identification of metals by applying them to a grinding wheel and observing the spark that is generated.  The color, shape, average length, and activity of the sparks are characteristics of the material being tested.
