  8. Aluminium Engine Blocks (Lupo)

  9. Audi A2 engine block

  10. Aluminium Bottles

  11. Aluminium Forging

  12. Forged Aluminium Wheels

  13. Al heat transfer components

  14. Aluminium Roofing

  15. Other non-ferrous metals • Copper • Tin • Lead • Zinc • Titanium • Lithium • Nickel • Chromium

  16. Copper • Moderate strength in the pure state • Malleable and ductile • Very good electrical and thermal conductor • Good corrosion resistance • Alloys with Zinc to give brass • Alloys with Tin and others to make bronze

  17. Copper Roofing

  18. Copper as a Biocide

  19. Copper as a Heat Exchanger

  20. Tin Soft and corrosion resistant. Used to alloy with lead to make solder Used to alloy with copper to produce bronzes, e.g. Bell metal

  21. Bell Metal

  22. Lead • High Density • Corrosion Resistant • Malleable, but not ductile • Very soft and weak

  23. Lead Applications

  24. Lead as a Roofing Material

  25. Zinc • No structural engineering uses in pure state • Used as sacrificial anodes to protect steel. • Used as an alloy with copper to produce brass • Used to corrosion coat steel by: • Galvanising or • Plating

  26. Brass Components

  27. Magnesium • Light weight – S.G. of 1.7 • Burns easily when being machined • Used with Aluminium to make lightweight alloys.

  28. Magnesium

  29. Magnesium Wheel

  30. Lithium • Very light, S.G. of 0.5! • Used to make alloys with Aluminium for aerospace applications. • Used in batteries for mobile phones etc.

  31. Titanium • Low density (S.G. of 4.5, as compared to steel at approx 8) • Similar strengths to steels • Highly corrosion resistant • Melts at 1670°C • Use restricted to <400 °C

  32. Titanium Used in • Aerospace parts • Racing cars, motorcycles and bicycles • Pipework and heat exchangers in chemical plants and oil installations.

  33. Titanium heat-exchangers

  34. Nickel • Corrosion resistant – forms strong oxide layer. • Brittle in the pure state • Used in stainless steels • Alloyed with copper to produce cupronickels for coinage and Monel for corrosion-resistant valve parts. • Used in Nimonic and superalloys for aerospace engine parts.

  35. Nickel-based superalloys

  36. Single-crystal blades

  37. Chromium • Corrosion resistant – forms strong oxide layer. • Brittle in the pure state • Used in stainless steels • Used with Ni & Mo to produce strong steel alloys for bicycle and motorcycle frame tubes.
