Type of metals materials

1. FERROUS METALS

   • Pure iron
     • PROPERTIES: Magnetic,soft,fragile,difficult to machine,rust and expensive
     • USES: Not used,in electronics and electrical
   • Steel
     • PRPERTIES:Good mechanical resistance,tough,easy to weld,little resistant to corrsion
     • USES: Lot of application,in construction,cars,tools,kitchen tools,chais and tables.
   • Cast iron
     • PROERTIES: Not malleable,not possible to weld,not much mechanical resistance,cheepear that steel
     • USES: elements,engines,stand for machines,pistons

2. NON-FERROUS METALS

   • Ultralight
     • DENSITY: ≥ 5 kg/dm3
     • EXAMPLES:Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Tin (Sn), Nickel (Ni)
   • Light
     • DENSITY:Between2 y 5 kg/dm3
     • EXAMPLE:Alluminium (Al), Titanium (Ti)
   • Heavy
     • DENSITY:≤ 2 kg/dm3
     • EXAMPLES:Magnesium (Mg), Beryllium (Be)
