In common language ductility refers to the ability to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable, but not brittle. Malleable means the ability to be hammered or pressed into shape without breaking or cracking. These properties a great interest in selecting material for building things. Ductility and malleability are two aspects of the plasticity of solid materials. In metals ductility and malleability is very high due to their ability sustain large amounts of plastic deformations within the crystal
occur due to the environment this paper primarily focuses on hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement occurs when steel is exposed to hydrogen causing it to become brittle and crack. Hydrogen reduces load – bearing capability and reduction of ductility, there are several hydrogen sources, it can enter the material as a result of electroplating, and the main source of hydrogen in steel bridge cable wires is hydrogen gas in the atmosphere. Molecular hydrogen is dissociated, which produces atomic
i. Car Body Car bodies are usually made of steel or aluminium. They both have different properties and prices ranges that make it ideal. Aluminium has a lower density meaning the car will be lighter than if it was made from steel. It also doesn’t corrode easily so a car made of aluminium will last longer than that made from steel as the steel contains iron which will corrode. In saying this aluminium is much more expensive, and although it has better properties is may take the price of the car up

And it was the largest luxurious ship in the world has shown the cost of wrong material selection, inappropriate design and unsuitable technology used. Even though a gigantic iceberg caused the titanic to sink inferior materials used in the applications, wrong reverts design, and in quality irons that used in application

determines the quality of metals? I would say TOUGHNESS. Toughness is the ability of a metal to mutilate plastically and to absorb energy in the process before it breaks or fracture. Metals can be heat treated to alter the properties of strength, ductility, toughness, hardness or resistance to corrosion. This can be done by using heat treatment processes which include precipitation strengthening, quenching, annealing and tempering. Annealing and tempering are the most prominent methods for treating
optimized by precise gradation of all the constituent particles to produce a maximum possible density. This results in achievement of a composite with extremely high strength (compressive strengths ranging from 200 MPa to 800 MPa) and also high ductility (due to addition of steel fibers) along with improved mechanical and physical properties (low permeability etc.). RPC also extensively uses the pozzolanic properties of highly refined silica pozzolans and optimization of the Portland cement chemistry
are significant need to perform adequate seismic retrofit technique prior to future seismic event. Furthermore, for ensuring the existing bridge meet current safety seismic design requirement consist of detailing schemes that can offer flexural ductility, high-energy dissipation and preventing shear failure. Thus, this paper only focuses on retrofitting of bridge column/pier. Therefore, it is very important to identify potential deficiencies and examine the strategies for retrofit these bridge pier
in the test specimen is absorbed as plastic deformation when the test specimen yields. Temperature and strain rate effect the yield behaviour and ductility of the material and hence affect the impact energy. Materials that behave this way usually have body-centred cube crystal structures and where lowering the temperature reduces the materials ductility. 2.4.4 Fracture
Friction Friction- types of and their effects on forces Definition: Friction- “the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another” There are four different types of friction these are: static, sliding, rolling and fluid friction. The types of friction that occurs between solid surfaces is are static, rolling and sliding. Fluid friction on the other hand only occurs in liquids and gases Static friction: When moving an object resting on a surface it requires more force to
Copper and copper alloys, such as bronze, brass, leaded brass are commonly used in friction parts of machines, as bearing liners, bushings, and water with gas fittings. Properties such as high strength and ductility, fatigue strength, wear resistance and machinability are necessary for these materials. Obtaining such properties is possible by creating submicrocrystalline and nanocrystalline structures in the materials [1]. The most common copper alloys are the brasses for which zinc, as a substitutional
their other electrons easily. Because of the movement of the electrons, the minerals which have the metallic bond, conduct the electricity very well. The metallic bonding is seen in native mineral like Au, Ag, Cu(****). It is known that they have ductility and low
low tensile strength, low ductility and susceptible to cracking. 2.3.2 Steel: Steel is used in many forms of construction and it is present in nearly every form of reinforced concrete. Structural steel is composed mainly of iron with a small amount of carbon (>2%). Carbon has a very marked effect on the properties of steel that increased the hardness. Moreover, steel has many properties that is needed to be considered by designers such as strength, toughness, ductility and durability. Toughness is
Polymer modified binders: First, understanding the basics of polymers. Polymers are very large molecules formed by combining many smaller molecules together chemically. The starting molecules of polymers is called monomer which on combination forms random co-polymers. Co-polymers like SBR are widely used as a modifier in asphalt mix. They are very widely used for preventive pavement maintenance technique in cold weather like in chip seals, slurry seal, cold recycled mix and micro-cracking. There
special characteristics to brass. Lead, which is insoluble in copper alloys, used to improve machinability of leaded brass. However, Pb and Bi or other elements that are used to improve the machinability often deteriorate the low and high temperature ductility of brass [11]. The content of Pb element is varies between 2.5 and 3.5 %, which make the machining processes at high speed and good surface [12]. The solubility of lead in copper alloys is very low therefore, it is found in microstructure as dispersed
appearance. Pure silver is too soft to maintain the shape of a product. To solve this problem, sterling silver, "an alloy of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper" is often used instead to produce high quality tableware and jewelry (Pappas). The ductility of silver also helps to create delicate and detailed designs. As its reflectivity of visible light, silver can be used to make mirrors. One of the distinct drawback is that it does tarnishes after a period of time. The compound, silver nitrate, plays
ultimate tensile strength (791.56 MPa). • It is investigated that in the present experiment work, maximum UTS increased by 38.11 MPa for the joints fabricated with low heat input and subjected to post weld heat treatment. • Percentage elongation (ductility) of the joint decreased due to the post weld heat treatment. • From the results of the Charpy V-notch impact test, it is found that the maximum CVN value in as welded condition of low heat input combination is 115 Joule, and it is increased with
The fundamental purpose of an aircraft wing is to provide an upward lifting of the aircraft. The type of wing on an aircraft depends on the purpose of the aircraft, ie, fighter jets need to be fast and work at high altitudes whereas a personal aircraft generally operates at lower altitudes and needs to be easy to maintain. Another purpose of the wing is to reduce drag. This leads to increased speed and better fuel consumption. Aircraft wings generally feature some of the following properties. The
Figure 2 Reinforced concrete Reinforced concrete (RC) is a composite material in which concrete's ductility and relatively low tensile strength are counteract by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and/or ductility. Advantages of reinforced concrete 1. Reinforced concrete also has greater compressive strength as compared to other materials used for construction good in tension. 2. It has
Nickel: Nickel increases strength to a modest extent but reduces ductility. The addition of nickel imparts resistance to softening at higher temperature but gives poor casting and machining characteristics. The addition of nickel to Al-Cu and Al-Si type alloy system improves hardness and strength at elevated temperature
