Non-ferrous Metals
Non-ferrous metals are more expensive than ferrous metals and are used only when some characteristics not possessed by iron or steel are essential or desirable in application. These characteristics are: high electrical or thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance, non-magnetic qualities, light weight etc.
The metals most frequently used to make non-ferrous metal castings are copper, tin, zinc, nickel, gold, aluminium and lead. Some of the basic non-ferrous metals and their characteristics are described below.
We know copper to be a reddish-brown tough metal. It has very high electric conductivity and high corrosion-resistant qualities. Metallurgists propose copper to be used for making electrical contacts, wires, water heaters, etc.
Zinc is a hard, brittle, bluish-white metal that is employed in the pure form as sheet zinc.
Lead is a very heavy bluish-grey metal which is very soft. We know lead to be supported by a core to strengthen it. Lead is used for lining pipes, acid tanks and coating electrical cables.
Aluminium is a soft, silvery white metal. It is light in weight, has high corrosion-resistant qualities. Scientists suggest aluminium to be used for automobile and airplane parts. It can be used also for making different light-weight objects used in everyday life such as: frames, cooking utensils, chairs.
Tin is a silvery, corrosion-resistant metal. We suggest tin to be used as an alloying element. Tin is hardly used in pure form.
Nickel is a hard, tough, silvery metal. It has high corrosion-resistant qualities and is used for plating other metals such as iron or brass.
There are many applications of non-ferrous metals in the unalloyed state, but in most cases, some alloying element is added.
The above-mentioned non-ferrous metals may be mixed in various proportions to form many alloys, chief among them being brasses, bronzes, and aluminium alloys.
There is a wide range of use for non-ferrous alloys. Their nature differs greatly from that of the ferrous metals. By varying the proportions of non-ferrous metals, alloys that are hard or soft, weak or strong, can be produced. When alloying, the metal with the highest melting point should be melted first, then one with the next highest melting point, and so on until all of the metals that are to make up the alloy are melted together. For example, to make a red-brass alloy, the copper is melted first, then the zinc, then the lead, and at last the tin. As soon as the mixture is hot enough to run the castings, it should be taken out of the furnace, otherwise the zinc, tin and lead may burn away.
Brasses are yellowish or reddish alloys of copper and zinc in different proportions. We observe some brasses contain about 60 per cent copper and 40 per cent zinc, but some brasses contain as high as 90 per cent copper with only 10 per cent zinc. An addition of tin makes brasses stronger. Scientists suggest brasses to be treated without heating them as they are very ductile. They are corrosion-resistant and are used for making musical instruments, bearings, etc.
Bronze is an alloy containing primarily copper and tin, but other elements may be added to the alloy to increase its properties such as hardness and resistance to wear. The most common bronzes are known as straight bronze, phosphor bronze, and manganese bronze. Straight bronze is usually a mixture of copper and tin, but there are many bronzes that contain zinc and lead, especially the cheap mixtures. Phosphor bronze may be made by adding a little phosphorus to the mixture. If phosphor tin is used and alloyed with the copper, better results will be obtained than if the phosphorus is mixed with the copper. Manganese bronze alloys are usually made by using both copper that contains from 5 to 5 per cent of manganese and copper that contains no manganese.
Aluminium alloys. Aluminium is used extensively for castings that are to be light in weight, light in colour, or that must not rust. Since aluminium is too soft for making castings, it is necessary to mix some other metals with it. The metals that alloy freely with aluminium are copper, zinc, and iron. Usually where aluminium alloys are made, the aluminium predominates.
All non-ferrous castings will take a high polish and will not rust as easily as the ferrous metals, a characteristic that makes them especially useful in wet or damp places. Non-ferrous metals are rather expensive and therefore nowadays scientists try to replace them by some ferrous alloys of lower cost possessing the same properties.
