STAINLESS STEEL IN ARCHITECTURE
•Main article: Architectural steel
•Is an alloy of chromium, nickel,molybdum,iron
•used for buildings for both practical and aesthetic reasons.
• Stainless steel was in vogue during the art deco period.
• Because of the durability of the material, many of these buildings retain their original appearance.
Manufacturing
For much of human history, steel has only been made in small quantities.
Since the invention of the Bessemer process in the 19th century and subsequent technological developments , mass production of steel has become an integral part of the world's economy

•Cala Galdana Bridge in Minorca (Spain) was the first
stainless steel road bridge.
Low-carbon steels
•Contain less than 0.25% Carbon.
•Not very responsive to heat treatments
•soft, weak, tough and ductile
•Machinable, weldable, not expensive
High strength low alloy steels (HSLA steels)
•Contain alloying elements such as Cu, V, Ni,etc in combined concentrations of >10 wt%
•Stronger than plain low-C steels
•Ductile, formable and machinable
•Use-It is often used when large quantities of steel are needed, for example as structural steel.
Medium-carbon steels
•Contain 0.25-0.60 wt.% carbon
•Can be heat-treated but only in thin sections
•Stronger than low-C steels but less ductile and less tough
•Good wear resistance
•Uses-Railway wheels & tracks, gears
High carbon steels
•Approximately 0.9–2.5% carbon content
•PROPERTIES-Hardest, strongest, ductile
•Especially wear resistant
•Form hard and wear resistant carbides, razors, springs and high strength wires.
•USE-cutting tools.
Cast irons
•The main elements: These are Carbon, Silicon, and Iron. Gray cast irons typically contain 3.0-3.5% carbon, with silicon levels varying from 1.8-2.4%.
•Since they become liquid easily between 1150 C and 1300 C, they can be easily cast
•Inexpensive
• wear resistant
•Uses- Essential parts in trains, frames, suspensions, and wheels, differential cases, automatic transmission parts, disc brake calipers, ect..
•4 types: gray cast iron, nodular cast iron, white cast iron, malleable cast iron

ALLOYS OF ALUMINIUM Aluminium forms complex metallic alloys used for electrical building wire
Al–Li (lithium)
used for Alnico (nickle, cobalt): permanent magnets
Duralumin (copper)
Hiduminium or R.R. alloys (2% copper, iron, nickel): used in aircraft pistons
Kryron
Magnalium (5% magnesium): used in airplane bodies, ladders,etc.
Nambe (aluminium plus seven other undisclosed metals), serveware, exclusively from the one manufacturer
Scandium–aluminium (scandium)
DURALUMIN • Duralumin is an alloy of 93.5 % Al, 4.4% Cu 1.5% Mg, 0.6%Mn. • Duralumin can be prepared by casting... • It’s light strong alloy of aluminum, copper, manganese, • started in the 1910 by Alfred William (German metallurgist) at
Germany.
HISTORY • In 1903, Wilm discovered that
after quenching, an aluminium alloy containing 4% copper would slowly harden when left at room temperature for several days.
• The name is obsolete today, and mainly used in popular science to describe the Al-Cu alloy system, or '2000' series, as per the International Alloy Designation System (IADS) originally created in 1970 by the Aluminum Association.
USES • It is used for making aircraft frames • It is used for making household articles
Light weight guns
FRAMES OF AUTOMOBILES
CORROSION PROTECTION
• Although the addition of copper improves strength, it also makes these alloys susceptible to corrosion.
• For sheet products, corrosion resistance can be greatly enhanced by metallurgical bonding of a high-purity aluminium surface layer.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Before a final heat treatment the alloy is ductile and malleable; after heat treatment a reaction between the aluminum and magnesium produces increased hardness and tensile strength.
light and desirable physical properties,
ALNICO
A "horseshoe magnet" made of Alnico 5, about 1 in. high. The metal bar(bottom) is a keeper. Placed across the poles when the magnet was not in use, it helped preserve the magnetization.
• Alnico is composed primarily of aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co), hence al-ni-co.
• They also include copper, and sometimes titanium
Uses Alnico magnets are widely used in industrial and consumer
applications where strong permanent magnets are needed; examples are electricmotors,electric guitar, microphones, sensors, loudspeakers and cow magnets. In many applications they are being superseded by rare earth magnets
