Cast Iron: Properties, Types, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications
In the last article, we had discussed the Mechanical properties of metals along with Non-Ferrous metals and Iron-Carbon diagram explanation. Whereas in today's article, we will discuss the properties, types, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of Cast iron in detail. What is Cast Iron? The cast iron is obtained by melting Pig iron with coke, limestone, […]
Properties of Ceramics: Mechanical, Physical, Electrical & Chemical Properties [With PDF]
Hello Readers, today in this paper we will be going to learn about Ceramics and their properties like Mechanical, Electrical, Physical and chemical. So let's get started. Introduction of Ceramic: Most ceramics have a crystalline structure and exist in a wide variety of compositions and forms. The bonding between the atoms is primarily ionic and […]
Different Types of Steel and Their Properties [PDF]
Steels are widely used materials in the industry. They are the alloys of iron, carbon and other elements such as silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and manganese. The carbon present in the form of iron-carbide(Fe3C) increases the hardness and strength of the steel. Steels are classified based on their chemical composition, applications, and methods of production. In this article, I […]
Types of Plastics-Properties of Thermosetting Plastics & Thermoplastics [PDF]
In this article, I will be explaining the different types of Plastics used in our household applications as well as industrial applications in the form of Thermoplastics and Thermosetting Plastics with there Properties. but before that let we know what is a Plastic? Plastics: Plastics are also called as Polymers. They are made up of carbon, hydrogen […]
Iron-Carbon Diagram Explanation [PDF]
In the last session, we had learned Different Types of steels, Methods for Manufacturing of Steel & Mechanical Properties of Metals whereas in today's session, we are going to discuss Iron- Carbon Phase Diagram with four Phase Transformations. What is Critical Concentration? Carbon is added to iron as an interstitial inclusion to improve the strength of iron. The maximum […]
Difference Between Nano, Macro, Micro and Smart Material [PDF]
Every component or material has its own features and depending upon the application or usage those materials are taken into consideration for Industrial applications. Nano Material has its demand in the field of communications in the form of fibres. Similarly, smart materials are highly in demand because they can react according to the environment. Therefore, in this article, I […]
