Ferrous alloys - черный спалвы, сплав железа с доп. элементами, для раскисления стали.
The main Ferrous Alloy is Stainless Steel. It has a high resistance to corrosion, very clean and hygienic and is tough and wear resistant making it particularly suitable for kitchenware.
Sinks, kitchenware, cutlery. (раковины и посуда, столовые приборы)
Also known as die Steel is a high carbon steel. The steel is hard, tough and durable. Due to the addition of other metals, tool steel can also be classed as an alloy.
Blanking punches and dies, extruder dies, press tools. (пресс инструменты, штамповка)
High Carbon Steel (0.7-1.7% Carbon) is also referred to as High Speed Steel (HSS) and is used for tools, cutting and drilling bits, blades etc.
Tool blades and cutting/drilling bits. (лезвия инструментов и сверлильные насадки)
Non ferrous alloys - цветные сплавы.
Brass is a non-ferrous alloy; It is used for valves and taps (краны), ornamental fittings (декоратичная арматура), boat fittings and keys as well as the pins on a plug (клбчей на вилках) as it has good conductivity but is stronger than pure Copper.
Boat fittings, furniture, valves. (лодочная фурнитура и мебель, краны и замки)
Bronze is a mixture of Copper and Tin (10%). It is used to make coins, statues and bearings. Could be very expensive!
Statues, coins, bearings. (статуи и моентки, подшипники)
Duralumin is an Aluminium alloy. It is stronger than Aluminium yet lighter and is therefore ideal for use in the aerospace industry.
Aircraft and vehicle parts. (детали самолетов и автомобилей)
Pewter is made mainly from Tin with a small amount of Copper. It is often used to make decorative items such as tankards picture frames, models and metal gifts.
Tankards, decorative items, trophies. (кружки и трофеи, декоративки)
Stock forms of metal.
When processed, metal takes on a liquid form but it cannot be moved hot so it is available to be transported in solid blocks (ingots).
For fabrication purposes it is available in sheet (thin list of material) in a variety of sizes and thicknesses (often referred to as gauge).
It can also be bought in bar, rod and tube (square, rectangle and round) as well as a variety of profiles such as angle (L-shaped), channel (U-shaped). Tee (T shaped) These can be specified in a variety of diameters, wall thicknesses and othe properties.
Ingots - слиток.
Sheet - пласт.
Bar - стержень, брус.
Tubes - трубы.
Metals are derived from ores (руда) found in the earths crust which need to be processed to extract the metal. There are metals that contain Iron (Ferrous) and those that do not (Non-ferrous).
Only Ferrous metals are prone (склонны) to rust.
Metals are hardwearing and good conductors of heat and electricity.
An Alloy is a mixture of metals combined to improve some of them properties.
Metals are used to make vehicles such as cars, trains and planes as well as cases and housings for phones, washing machines and other.
