  1. ADD YOUR NAME HERE Metals Properties of metal Solidification of a substance Modification of grain size

  2. Today’s Lesson • You are going to work in pairs and download this slide show from the server • AllStaff • jc • jcStudR • Year 12 • Topic 4 Metals.ppt • You are going to go through the slide show and complete the tasks on each of the slides (in red) it may be necessary to add slides, do not change the font or the look of the slides but do add images and add to the bibliography page • Remove red tasks as you complete them and save regularly and finally add your names and save, and email back to jc@shatincollege.edu.hk

  3. Commonly available metal forms • The basic elements of all metals are found naturally occurring within the earth. After they are extracted in the from of ore they are refined and processed in a variety of ways to produce usable materials. Metals are commonly available for manufacturing use in a wide range of forms and sizes. www.afcd.gov.hk/.../cou_vis_cou_mos.html Mining for Iron Ore in Ma On Shan until 1981 http://thomonthenet.com/ContemporaryGlass/JoshSimpson_Megaworld13_large.jpg www.ferretrollforming.com/aboutus.htm

  4. Types of metal • Two significant groups • Ferrous metals – contains iron • Non-ferrous metals – do not contain iron • Alloys • The process of bringing together two or more metals, often with other elements • Define the above and add examples

  5. Heat Treatment of Metals • The process of heating and cooling metal can be used to change its properties and characteristics • Watch the Material Bonding PowerPoint , and describe and add images to show the metallic bonding of metal • What makes metals such good electrical and thermal conductors, explain your answer • What are free electrons?

  6. Solidification of a substance Liquid metal solidifies when cooled (except mercury) • Minute nuclei (crystals) of a solid form when a pure, molten metal is cooled to just below its freezing temperature. Impurities in the molten material provide the centre for growth for the nuclei. • All metals (except mercury) are solid at room temperature. • A process of nucleation & growth achieves solidification. • ‘Dendrites’ grow out from the nuclei forming a tree-like structure in the direction of the fastest heat loss.

  7. Solidification of a substance • Show some images which illustrate the previous slide • The atoms arrange themselves in a regular pattern or lattice structure. Most metals form one of three types of lattice structure

  8. Close packed hexagonal (CPH) • Images and examples

  9. Face-centred cubic (FCC) • Images and examples

  10. Body-centred cubic (BCC) • Images and examples and don’t forget to add the source of the images to the bibliography

  11. Metallic Structures • This crystallinestructure gives metals their properties (strength, stiffness, ductility, conductivity & toughness). • Each dendrite grows in a geometricpattern consistent with the lattice structure until each one touches its neighbour. At this point the dendrites begin to thicken to form a totally solid grain of metal. • The grain boundaries between are visible under a microscope, each grain having the same structure but a different orientation. This boundary is a narrow zone (perhaps three atoms) in which the atoms are not properly spaced according to the lattice structure.

  13. Modification of grain size • The rate of cooling and the amount of impurities in the molten metal will affect grain size: • Gradual cooling - a fewnuclei are formed - largegrain size • Rapid cooling - manynuclei formed - small grain size. • Reheating a solid metal / alloy allows the grain structure to re-align itself. • Directionalcooling in a structure is achieved by selectivelycoolingone area of a solid. • The effect of impurities (or additives) in a molten metal can induce a largenumberof fine grains that will give a stronger and harder metal. This addition must be carefully controlled as too many impurities may cause an accumulation at the grain boundaries, which will weaken the material.

  14. Keywords & Terminology • Make a list of all the keywords and terminology used in your powerpoint
