General Properties and Applications of Ferrous Alloys
• Ferrous alloys are useful metals in terms of mechanical, physical and chemical properties.
• Alloys contain iron as their base metal.
• Carbon steels are least expensive of all metals while stainless steels is costly.
Carbon and alloy steels
Carbon steels
• Classified as low, medium and high:
1. Low-carbon steel or mild steel, < 0.3%C, bolts, nuts and sheet plates.
2. Medium-carbon steel, 0.3% ~ 0.6%C, machinery, automotive and agricultural equipment.
3. High-carbon steel, > 0.60% C, springs, cutlery, cable.
Carbon and alloy steels
Alloy steels

Heat Treatment of Metals
• Precipitation hardening– Solution treatment (-phase conversion)– quenching– precipitation treatment (aging)
