Introduction to nonferrous metallurgy

Lecture 1 Nonferrous metallurgy Subjects of interest • Overviews of nonferrous metals • Aluminium and aluminium alloys • Magnesium and magnesium alloys • Titanium and titanium alloys • Copper and copper alloys • Zinc and its alloys • Nickel and its alloys • Other significant alloys Suranaree University of Technology Tapany Udomphol May-Aug 2007 Nonferrous metallurgy Course instruction Lecturer: Dr. Tapany Udomphol Assessment Assignment/quiz 20 % Midterm exam 40 % Final exam 40 % Total 100 % Suranaree University of Technology Tapany Udomphol May-Aug 2007 Objectives • This course provides fundamental knowledge of metals other than ferrous metals, for example aluminium, magnesium, copper, zinc, titanium and nickel alloys, which are significant for commercial uses. • This starts with when the metals are extracted, melted and formed in relation to their final applications. More importantly, the nature of the alloys associated with their physical and mechanical properties will be highlighted. • The selection of nonferrous alloys for the desired applications will be discussed such that the exploitation of nonferrous metals will be at its best. Suranaree University of Technology Tapany Udomphol May-Aug 2007 Overview of nonferrous metals Why nonferrous? Light weight Stiffness –strength to weight ratio High temperature properties Nonferrous Oxidation resistance Corrosion resistance High cost Depending on extraction and production Biocompatibility Thermal/electrical conductivity Suranaree University of Technology Tapany Udomphol May-Aug 2007 Nonferrous metals There are different types of nonferrous metals which are commercially used; • Aluminium and its alloys • Magnesium and its alloys • Titanium and its alloys • Copper and its alloys • Zinc and its alloys • Nickel and its alloys Suranaree University of Technology Tapany Udomphol May-Aug 2007 ... - tailieumienphi.vn
