Iron physical properties

Ion exchange processes function by replacing undesirable ions of a liquid with ions such as H+ or OH from a solid material in which the ions are sufficiently mobile, usually some synthetic resin. Eventually the resin becomes exhausted and may be regenerated by contact with a small amount of solution with a high content of the desired ion. Resins can be tailored to have selective affinities for particular kinds of ions, for instance, mercury, boron, ferrous iron, or copper in the presence of iron. Physical properties of some commercial ion exchange resins are listed in Table 15.4 together with their ion exchange capacities. The most commonly used sizes are -20 + 50 mesh (0.8-0.3 mm) and -40 -h 80 mesh (0.4-0.18 mm).

Gobalt is a brittle, hard metal, resembling iron and nickel in appearance. It has a metallic permeability of about two thirds that of iron. Gobalt tends to exist as a mixture of two allotropes over a wide temperature range. The transformation is sluggish and accounts in part for the wide variation in reported data on physical properties of cobalt. 

Copper, nickel, cobalt, iron, and zinc (270) for their physical properties using ultraviolet and infrared spectrometry (271). 

Despite variatioas ia hardness test procedures and the variations ia physical properties of the materials tested, hardness conversions from one test to another are possible (see ASTM E140 and Table 2). This approximate relationship is only consistent within a single-material system, eg, iron, steel, or aluminum. 

DRI can be produced in pellet, lump, or briquette form. When produced in pellets or lumps, DRI retains the shape and form of the iron oxide material fed to the DR process. The removal of oxygen from the iron oxide during direct reduction leaves voids, giving the DRI a spongy appearance when viewed through a microscope. Thus, DRI in these forms tends to have lower apparent density, greater porosity, and more specific surface area than iron ore. In the hot briquetted form it is known as hot briquetted iron (HBI). Typical physical properties of DRI forms are shown in Table 1. 

Sulfosahcyhc acid is prepared by heating 10 parts of sahcyhc acid with 50 parts of concentrated sulfuric acid, by chlorosulfonation of sahcyhc acid and subsequent hydrolysis of the acid chloride, or by sulfonation with hquid sulfur trioxide in tetrachloroethylene. It is used as an intermediate in the production of dyestuffs, grease additives, catalysts, and surfactants. It is also useful as a colorimetric reagent for ferric iron and as a reagent for albumin. Table 9 shows the physical properties of sahcyhc acid derivatives. 

Calcium—Silicon. Calcium—silicon and calcium—barium—siUcon are made in the submerged-arc electric furnace by carbon reduction of lime, sihca rock, and barites. Commercial calcium—silicon contains 28—32% calcium, 60—65% siUcon, and 3% iron (max). Barium-bearing alloys contains 16—20% calcium, 9—12% barium, and 53—59% sihcon. Calcium can also be added as an ahoy containing 10—13% calcium, 14—18% barium, 19—21% aluminum, and 38—40% shicon These ahoys are used to deoxidize and degasify steel. They produce complex calcium shicate inclusions that are minimally harm fill to physical properties and prevent the formation of alumina-type inclusions, a principal source of fatigue failure in highly stressed ahoy steels. As a sulfide former, they promote random distribution of sulfides, thereby minimizing chain-type inclusions. In cast iron, they are used as an inoculant.

Steel is essentially iron with a small amount of carbon. Additional elements are present in small quantities. Contaminants such as sulfur and phosphorus are tolerated at varying levels, depending on the use to which the steel is to be put. Since they are present in the raw material from which the steel is made it is not economic to remove them. Alloying elements such as manganese, silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium are present at specified levels to improve physical properties such as toughness or corrosion resistance. 

Nickel-iron alloys have a number of important applications that are derived from such special physical properties as their unique magnetic characteristics in the regions of 35, 50 and 80% nickel and from their abnormally low thermal expansion in the region of 36-50% nickel. Although not specifically used as corrosion-resistant materials, their high resistance to attack from many common environments is of benefit in their specialised applications. 

The addition of about 20% nickel to cast iron produces materials with a stable austenitic structure these materials are sometimes known as austenitic cast irons but are more often referred to commercially as Ni-Resist cast irons. The austenitic matrix of these irons gives rise to very different mechanical and physical properties to those obtained with the nickel-free grey cast irons. The austenitic matrix is more noble than the matrix of unalloyed grey irons and it was shown in the early work of Vanick and Merica that the corrosion resistance of cast iron increases with increasing nickel content up to about 20% (Fig. 3.42).

Toluene is continuously nitrated to mononitrotoluene in a cast-iron vessel, 1 m diameter, fitted with a propeller agitator 0.3 m diameter rotating at 2.5 Hz. The temperature is maintained at 310 K by circulating 0.5 kg/s cooling water through a stainless steel coil 25 mm o.d. and 22 mm i.d. wound in the form of a helix, 0.80 m in diameter. The conditions are such that the reacting material may be considered to have the same physical properties as 75 per cent sulphuric acid.
