Question

Explain the types of alloys.

✓

Answer

Based on the presence or absence of Iron, alloys can be classified into: 1. Ferrous alloys: Contain Iron as a major component. A few examples of ferrous alloys are Stainless Steel, Nickel Steel etc. 2. Non – ferrous alloys: These alloys do not contain Iron as a major component. For example, Aluminium alloy, Copper alloy etc.
Copper Alloys (Non - ferrous) :

Alloys	Uses
Brass (Cu,Zn)	Electrical fittings, medal, decorative items, hardware
Bronze (Cu, Sn)	Statues, coins, bells, gongs

Aluminium Alloys (Non - Ferrous) :

Alloys	Uses
Duralumin (Al, Mg, M	Aircraft tools, pressure cookers
Magnalium (Al, Mg)	Aircraft, scientific instruments

Iron Alloys (Ferrous) :

Alloys	Uses
Stainless steel (Fe, C, Ni, Cr )	Utensils, cutlery, automobile parts
Nickel steel (Fe,C,Ni)	Cables, aircraft parts, propeller
