| How are metals produced? | Metals are usually produced by mining rocks of minerals containing metal from the earth.This is called ore. Metals usually are pure if extracted in industrial process. Eg. copper and iron |
| What are the characteristics of ferrous metals? | contain mainly iron Rust easily Are magnetic |
| What are the characteristics of non - ferrous metals? | contain no iron Do not rust to moisture non magnetic Eg. Copper, tin, zin and aluminium |
| What are the characteristics of alloys? | - a mixture of 2 or more metals or materials - Different metals are mixed to change the properties of the materials reducing the melting point. Eg. Brass (which contains copper zinc) |
| Name 3 health and safety precaustions used to ensure safe use of a pillar drill. | - wear goggles to protect eyes from material which may come of whilst drilling. - Have a safety zone on the outside of the pillar drill to show where others cannot cross whilst the drill is in use. - only use drill for a limited amount of time in one go to avoid over heating. |

| What are the properties of high carbon steel and what is it used on 0.8% - 1.4% carbon? | Strong, hard but not as tough as low carbon steel. Difficult to form or work. Can be harderned used on tools such as saw blades, hammers, and chisels |
| What are the properties of stainless steel and what is it used for at least 11.5 chromium? | Strong and hard difficult to machine or work does not rust exspensive Stainless steel is preferred for making kitchen utensils because it does not affect the flavour of food and is easy to clean. |
| Identify and compare the properties and uses of a variety of non-ferrous metals? | Aluminium – light, ductile malleable,good conductor/resistance to corrosion; used on saucepans, aircraft bodies, cans Copper – malleable, ductile and tough; excellent conductor; easily joined; corrosion resistant; used for electrical wire, hot water tanks Brass – corrosion resistant, good conductor, easily joined, casts well; used on castings, exterior fixtures and (door handles, hinges) Lead – soft and malleable; heavy; corrosion resistant; low melting point; easily joined and easy to work with; used on roof coverings and in soft solders Zinc – poor strength; low melting point; highly resistant to corrosion; easy to work with; used to coat steel (galvanizing) |
| What is the name of one heat treatment used to join mild steel together | Weilding |
| Why is zinc ofen used for die casting rather than steel? | - Zinc has a much lower melting point than steel. - Therefore not as much energy is needed to melt it. -Therefore it is cheaper to melt. -Therefore it is often used for die castings, such as handles for car doors. |
| Why does hammering a metal change its propoerties? | - Cold working a material causes the grains in the metal to be deformed, making them thinner and smaller. - This makes the material harder and more brittle. |
| The factors affect the property of a metal? | A |
| What is work hardening? | This is cold working which increases the strength, hardness and brittleness. |
| What is annealing? | This makes a metal softer by heating the metal to a suitable tempreture and keeping it at that tempreture for a given time thus allowing the grains to grow. |
| What is normalizing? | - Normalizing makes work hardened steel tougher and more ductile by heating it to a given tempreture and allowing it to cool naturally in air. |
| What is hardening and quenching? | Hardening and quenching is used with high carbon steels- the steel is heated to a specific tempreture, and held there to allow the atoms to rearrange before it is quenched (rapid cooling) by immersing in oil or brine. This gives a harder material that unfortunately is also very brittle. |
| What is tempering? | It is a heat treatment used to remove the brittleness of the material that has been harderned through quenching. Tempering involves heating the material to about 230-300oc then quenching - this removes some hardeness but also reduces the brittleness. |
| What is corrosion and suggest how it can be reduced? | - Corrosion is a reaction between the surfaces of a material and its enviroment that eats away some of the material. - Aluminium reacts with the air to form an oxide layer that protects the metal from further material away - Corrosion can be reduced by applying a coating to steel for example by painting, dip-coating or plating (galvanizing). |
| Why can a metal be normalised by heat treatment? | -Normalizing is carried out on steel that has been work hardened. -The steel should be heated and allowed to cool naturally in air -This gives the atoms time to rearrange within the grains, resulting in a tougher steel with some ductility. -However, the steel does not soften a great deal and reamins hard. |
| Explain which metal would be a good choice for cooking pans, used to heat food on gas cookers? | - Need to be able to withstand a lot of heat without deforming (not brass or tin) -Need to be able to resist reacting with food at tempretures which would lead to contamination (not lead) -Need to be able to be washed in water without corroding (not low carbon or high carbon steel) -Need to be tough and durable (not zinc, tin or lead) -Need to be able to be formed into required shapes (not high carbon steel) - Therefore could use copper, aluminium or stainless steel. |
| List the stock forms that metals are available in? | -sheet -Round bar rod -Flat strip -Angle -I section -Channel -Square bar - Heagon bar -Tube |
| What does annealing involve and when is it used? | • Annealing involves heating metal to a suitable temperature and holding it at that temperature for a given time • This allows the grains in the metal to grow, making the metal softer and easier to work • Also, any internal stresses and dislocations are either removed or relocated • It is usually used on metals that have been work hardened. • It is also used before bending metal into complicated shapes |
| How is steel annealed? | • Heat to just below lower critical point • Allow steel to soak at that temperature for a period of time, depending on part size • Then allow material to slowly cool by leaving it in the switched off furnace |
| When is aluminium annealed and why must care be taken? | • Aluminium alloys annealed after working • Care needs to be taken because the annealing temperature is close to the melting temperature |
| How is copper annealed? | • Copper is easy to anneal • Hat copper until it is a dull red colour • Leave to cool in air • Black scale may form as it cools. This can be removed in a dilute acid bath, known as pickling |
| How is brass annealed? | • Heat brass to a dull red colour, where it actually becomes brittle • Cool very slowly (in air) to allow the material to soften. • Pickling is needed to remove black scale |
| Why is steel normalised? | • Normalising is carried out on steel that has been work hardened • The steel is heated and then allowed to cool naturally in air • Normalising allows the atoms in the steel to rearrange within the existing grains, resulting in steel that is tough with some ductility |
| What is hardening and quenching, and when is it used? | • Hardening is a heat treatment that increases the hardness and strength of a metal due to a change in the arrangement of the atoms within it • Only high carbon steel (0.8 – 1.4% carbon) can be hardened by heat treatment • The steel is heated then held at that temperature so the atoms can rearrange • The steel is then put through the process of quenching • Quenching is the rapid cooling of a hot metal by immersing it in a liquid, often oil or brine |
| What is tempering, and when is it used? | • Quenched steel is hard and brittle • Tempering is a heat treatment to remove some of the brittleness in hardened steel, at the cost of some hardness • Tempering also increases toughness |
| What is precipitation hardening, and when is it used? | • Precipitation hardening is where alloying elements dissolve to form fine particles within a metal • This increases the strength and hardness of the metal • First the alloy is heated and then held at that temperature (“soaked”) to allow atoms of the alloying elements to dissolve • The material is then quenched • This is often used for high performance components, such as parts for aircraft. |
| Name at least 3 metals or alloys that can be annealed | • Copper • Brass • Aluminium alloys • Steel |
