About Metals and Metalworking

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit sits in the Materials strand of Engineering and technology (general or other). Most of the resources are mind maps, and they follow the usual path of metalwork: what metals are, how they are cut and shaped, how they are joined, how they are heat treated and how they are protected from corrosion.

Where to start

Begin with the mind map Metals. It splits metals into ferrous, non-ferrous and alloys, with notes on aluminium such as its good strength to weight ratio. Then open cutting metals and more cutting metals. They run from tinsnips, drilling and thread cutting to hand forging, drop forging and sawing.

Next, move to joining. The Joining Processes map separates wood joints from metal joints and covers screws, nuts and bolts. The flashcard deck Components - Joining things goes through rivets, machine screws, wood screws and washers. Mechanical, Heat and Chemical Joining Techniques adds oxy-acetylene, MIG and TIG welding, brazing, hard soldering and adhesives.

Heat treatment and hardening

The Heat Treatments deck covers annealing, tempering, hardening, normalising and work hardening. For a deeper step, the precipitation hardening map lays out three stages: solution treatment, quenching and ageing. It will suit university students and professional candidates best. The page also lists a quiz called Heat Treatment of Carbon Steels.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself. Chapter 7: Flame Cutting asks about oxyfuel torches, cutting low carbon steels and eye protection. Welding Processes and Consumables SMAW asks about hydrogen control electrodes. If a question stumps you, go back to the matching map or the Electrodes deck. One map is labeled for GCSE Design and Technology style study, so school students can use it as a reference point.

Your next step

Choose one map on a process you find unclear.
Take a quiz on the same topic.
Write down what you missed and return to it.

When you are ready, make a small set of your own flashcards for the terms you keep forgetting.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Metals mind map. It sorts metals into ferrous, non-ferrous and alloys and gives properties for examples such as aluminium. Once that is clear, the cutting metals and Joining Processes maps follow naturally, and a quiz can then show which parts you still need to review.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

There are more than 60 mind maps. They cover types of metals, cutting and shaping, forging, sawing, joining, welding, threading tools, quenching, precipitation hardening and methods to prevent corrosion. Some are short outlines and others go into detail, so scan a few titles before choosing.

Are the quizzes here useful for welding?

Yes. Chapter 7: Flame Cutting looks at oxyfuel cutting and safety, and Welding Processes and Consumables SMAW asks about electrodes. There is also a welder training exam quiz. The page has a small set of quizzes, so pair them with the welding mind maps and the Electrodes flashcards.

Are these resources free, and who made them?

Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 70 contributors have added material, so the style and depth vary from one resource to the next.

Which levels does this page suit?

Most resources suit school students, and one is aimed at GCSE Design and Technology. A smaller share suits university students and professional candidates, such as the precipitation hardening map and the welder qualification flowchart. Teachers can also use the maps and decks as ready-made material.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Try a nearby title, since the same topic often appears under different names, such as welding, MIG welding and Metal Inert Gas Welding. If nothing fits, a free account lets you build your own mind map, quiz, flashcards or notes on the missing topic.
