generating localized high temperature zones. Welding of new materials and a large increase in the thickness of components, developed only gas flame welding, which improves the welding as a demand to the engineer's known, is no longer satisfactory and the metal inert gas welding, tungsten inert gas welding, electron and laser beam welding has come. Welding is the joining process which coalescence of material by heating at some temperature and pressure and also with or without filler rod. The welding is permanent

structure is from the metallic oxides containing giant structures of ions on the left of the period via a giant covalent oxide (silicon dioxide) in the middle to molecular oxides on the right. Melting and boiling points The giant structures (the metal oxides and silicon dioxide) will have high melting and boiling points because a lot of energy is needed to break the strong bonds (ionic or covalent) operating in three dimensions. The oxides of phosphorus, sulphur and chlorine consist of individual

"igneous" comes from the Latin for fire. This material may have been lava erupted at the Earth's surface, or magma (un-erupted lava) at shallow depths, or magma in deep bodies (plutons). People commonly think of lava and magma as a liquid, like molten metal, but geologists find that magma is usually a mush — a liquid carrying a load of mineral crystals. Magma crystallizes into a collection of minerals, and some crystallize sooner than others. Not just that, but when they crystallize, they leave the

circumstances. Aluminum considered as the third most abundant element, and the most abundant metal. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface. Aluminum metal is a very reactive metal .It is found combined in 270 different minerals. Aluminum History In 1761, Guyton de Morveau suggested calling the base alum alumina. In 1808, Humphry Davy identifies the existence of a metal base of alum. The metal was first produced in 1825 in an impure form by physicist and chemist Hans Christian

Non-ferrous Metals (copper, brass, bronze, and aluminum) *All these material come in various forms and shapes such as sheets, rods, bars, and wires. Common Metals and Their Major Use • Cast Iron - origin: iron ore - characteristics: forms into any shape; brittle - major use: machinery parts; engine

Types of meteorites stony meterorites are made mostly of silicated minerals such as olivine and pyroxene (most common). Stony-iron meteorites are made of about equal amounts of silicate minerals and metal (least common). Iron- metorites are made almost entirely of metal-iron, nickel and cobalt (heavy metal). Meteorites come from out in space. Most meteorite are stony and may look like ordinary rocks at first glance. Meteor-wrongs come from here on earth. Slags, which are waste products from steel-making

M1: Metallic bonding: Atoms within a solid metal are held together by metallic bonding, a metal bond is an electromagnetic attraction between electrons (delocalised so they’re shared between all the atoms in the structure, a sea of electrons) and the positive ions held within the lattice. The positive ions become attracted to these free electrons which form the lattice, this lattice structure and their metallic bonding gives them high melting points and good electrical conductivity properties. Due

have better bending strength which will be useful in larger castings. Also for extensive casting times, it works great. Selecting the appropriate size affects the productivity of the plant. The pressure-free casting method avoids re-oxidation of the molten aluminum. Customized shapes with finer porosities for adequate filtration capacity and efficiency are preferred. For instance, PPI 30 filters are excellent for automobile industry where surface appearance and/ or mechanical strength vary. Using Cerasic

ingenuity lit the way for many successors. Sir Humphry Davy inspired others to try and create a solid aluminum ingot. “Danish physicist and chemist, Hans Christian Ørsted, in 1825 finally produced aluminum. ‘It forms,’ Ørsted reported, ‘a lump of metal which in color and luster somewhat resembles tin.’” (Hans Christian). Hans Christian Ørsted became the first scientist to successfully isolate aluminum from other materials. This was a major breakthrough in the aluminum making process. It meant that

Insert your name Course Professor’s name Date due The Chemistry and Applications of Carbon Allotropes in Industry Introduction Carbon has the ability to create many allotropes because of its valence. This means that carbon has a high rate of combining power with other different atoms when it is in the process of forming chemical compounds or molecules. The most common allotropes are Diamond and Graphite. The different allotropes of carbon tend to shows different properties and have a different
