(a) How are metal alloys made by the casting process? (b) Distinguish between wrought alloy products and cast alloy products.
a)
The process of metal alloys made by the casting
Explanation of Solution
Alloying components are added to the liquid (fundamental) metal and permitted to dissolve. The liquid metal is subsequently blended to accomplish consistency and afterward cast into castings.
b)
Difference between the wrought alloy and cast alloy
Explanation of Solution
The difference between the wrought alloy and cast alloy is shown in below table:
Description | Wrought alloy | Cast alloy |
Nature of alloy | Ductile | Brittle |
Fabrication method | Hot and cold work process | Casting process |

- Suppose you are asked to manufacture a critical component based on a nickel-based super-alloy. The component must not contain any porosity and it must be chemically homogeneous. What manufacturing process would you use for this application? Why?arrow_forward1. What distinguishing features do eutectoid and martensitic transformations in steel have? Compare and contrast them in brief.arrow_forwardChemistry is it possible to predict the metallic phases that may arise during the casting and solidification of any liquid metal (non ferrous metal) ?arrow_forward
- 1)Construct the iron carbon diagram and label various regions and explain the various phase changes that exist with variation of temperature and composition. 2) What are the major differences between annealing and normalising process.arrow_forward3 Materials Science. From picture below.Describe in detail the phase transformations (showing cooling curves, corresponding optical backgrounds, etc.) that takes place during solidification of the following alloys:(a) 99% Cu - 1% Al(b) 96% Cu - 4% Al(c) 80% Cu - 20% Alarrow_forwardMake use of drawings of segments of the Fe-Cr phase diagram to illustrate the reason for theexistence of ferritic, martensitic and austenitic stainless steels by also noting the influence ofspecific alloying elements where applicable.arrow_forward

And why is that?arrow_forwardWhat is the% C ratio of two different steels with 80% and equal austenite content at 724 C? please explain how to calculatearrow_forward
- In a tabular format, compare (a) Composition and heat treatment, (b) microstructure, for different cast irons and steels.arrow_forwarda) Explain why work hardenable aluminium alloys cannot be age-hardened because the precipitation hardening reaction does not occur. To maintain strength, what might be another reason why aluminium alloys can't be work hardened? (Think about dislocations.)arrow_forwardExplain two important differences between martensitic and pearlitic transformations.arrow_forward
