Q

Carbonized steel

A
  • Less than 1.65% Mn, .6% Cu, small amounts Si, S, P
  • Low carbon steel (.02 - .3%): Most commonly used – roll steel
  • Medium carbon steel (.3 - .45%): Strong and hard, less ductile, now easily welded (cracks after welding), screwdrivers
  • High carbon (.45 - .75): Very hard/strong, less ductile, special welding to prevent cracking, used for hammers
  • Very-high carbon (More than .75%): Seldom welded, tools and springs

Q

Non-ferrous metals

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Don’t contain iron
  • Not magnetic
  • More resistant to corrosion
22
Q

Aluminum

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Most widely used non ferrous metal
  • Soft, durable, lightweight
  • 1/3 density and stiffness of steel
  • 100% recyclable
23
Q

Copper

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Ductile
  • High conductivity
  • Pure copper is soft w/ pink exposed surface
24
Q

Tin

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Silvery, malleable

- Not easily oxidized

25
Lead
- Soft, heavy, highly malleable, ductile - Used in batteries - Toxic
26
Physical properties of metals: Hardness
- Hardness: Harder = less deformation - Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers test - Brinell and Rockwell measure penetration into metal
27
Physical properties of metals: Ducitlity
- Tensile stress
28
Physical properties of metals: Malleability
- Deformation under compressive stress | - Ability to form a thin sheet by hammering/rolling
29
Physical properties of metals: Strength
1) Tensile: Longitudinal stress 2) Compressive: Stress that can stand without being crushed 3) Sheer: Force that causes internal metal to slide against itself
30
Other physical properties
1) Density 2) Conductivity 3) Radioactivity
31
Chemical properties of metals
- Strong metallic bonds: High melting and boiling points - Free electrons carry heat: Good conductors - Electrons slide easily: Malleable and ducitle
32
Metal production
- Conversion of ore to final form - No work when already in final form (Au, Ag, Pt, etc.) - Extractive metallurgy: Removing valuable metals
33
Heat treatment
- Alter physical properties | - Annealing (heat the slowly cool), quencing (heat and rapidly cool to harden), tempering (slowly heat up, slowly cool)
34
Surface treatment
1) Plating: Bonding thin layer of metal to surface 2) Thermal spray: Melted metals sprayed onto surface 3) Case hardening: Hardening surface by infusing with other elements
35
Chemical heating
- Use oxygen- fuel mixture - Powdered material fed through gun - Produces spray
36
Joining metals
Permanent: Welding, soldering, brazing Separable: Fastening (screw, nuts and bolts, rivets
37
Welding
- Melting base material - Gas welding - ARC welding (stick, mig, tig)
38
Oxy-acetylene welding
- More portable than ARC welding - Can join, heat, or cut metals - Welding, brazing, cutting, heating, bending
39
Oxy-acetylene welding safety
1) Secure cylinders 2) Make sure no oil or grease is present 3) Don't use oxygen as substitute for air 4) Don't force connections 5) Make sure nobody is in front of cylinders/regulators 6) Wear safety shit
40
Setting up gas welding
1) Valves loose 2) Open valves slowly (oxygen fully, acetylene 1/2 turn) 3) Adjust pressures 4) Open acetylene and light 5) Add oxygen and adjust to proper flame
41
Types of flame
- Neutral: Equal amounts of oxygen and acetylene - Oxidizing: Excess oxygen - Carburizing: Excess acetylene
42
Shutting down gas welding
1) Close oxygen then acetylene valves to shut off flame 2) Close oxygen and acetylene main valves 3) Drain out gasses 4) Loosen screws 5) Close torch valves
43
Methods of gas welding
1) Forehand: Welding rod proceeds flame (less than 1/8 thick) 2) Backhand: Flame proceeds rod (more than 1/8 inch thick)
44
Gas welding problems
1) Backfire: Popping at tip. Caused by bad gas volume, touching tip, or overheated tip 2) Flashback: Explosion at tip of nozzle w/ hissing sound and smoke. Can be caused by clogged tip, improper gas mix, loose connections, or damaged o-ring.
45
Stick welding
- DC: Direct current - Ground clamp: Complete circuit for welding - Wear hood and safety clothes - Electrode forms slag
46
Stick welding safety
- Don't simultaneously touch electrode and grounding cable - Don't weld around combustibles - Don't welt in wet areas - Use correct cable size
47
Stick welding electrode selection
1) Diameter: Approximately equal to electrode thickness | 2) Type: First two letters = tensile strength, third = position, fourth = Current type
48
Weld and joint types
Weld: Bead (padding), butt, fillet (tee), groove (beveled) Joint: Butt, lap, tee, edge, corner
49
Stick welding steps
1) Setup 2) Strike (or tap) ARC 3) Bead
50
Troubleshooting stick welds
- Burnthrough - Incomplete fusion - Slag inclusion - Undercut - Cracks - Porosity
