Steel alloying metals

AWS) has issued specifications covering the various filler-metal systems and processes (2), eg, AWS A5.28 which appHes to low alloy steel filler metals for gas-shielded arc welding. A typical specification covers classification of relevant filler metals, chemical composition, mechanical properties, testing procedures, and matters related to manufacture, eg, packaging, identification, and dimensional tolerances. New specifications are issued occasionally, in addition to ca 30 estabUshed specifications. Filler-metal specifications are also issued by the ASME and the Department of Defense (DOD). These specifications are usually similar to the AWS specification, but should be specifically consulted where they apply. 

Alkaline permanganate pretreatment of steel for the removal of heat scale and smut prior to acid pickling results in faster descaling and reduced metal attack (see Metal surface treatments Metal treatments). Stainless steel alloys can also be cleaned by alkaline permanganate followed by pickling in nonoxidi2ing acids (260). 

Eabrication techniques must take into account the metallurgical properties of the metals to be joined and the possibiUty of undesirable diffusion at the interface during hot forming, heat treating, and welding. Compatible alloys, ie, those that do not form intermetaUic compounds upon alloying, eg, nickel and nickel alloys (qv), copper and copper alloys (qv), and stainless steel alloys clad to steel, may be treated by the traditional techniques developed for clads produced by other processes. On the other hand, incompatible combinations, eg, titanium, zirconium, or aluminum to steel, require special techniques designed to limit the production at the interface of undesirable intermetaUics which would jeopardize bond ductihty. 

Absorption and Drying Towers. Towers are typically carbon steel vessels lined with acid proof brick and mortar and packed with ceramic saddles (see Absorption). More recently, all metal towers having no brick lining have been built from high siHcon stainless steel alloys such as Sandvik SX or Saramet. 

As for storage tanks, stainless steel and lacquer-lined mild steel are suitable materials of constmction for pipe lines. For pumps, valves, etc, various alloys are suitable, including phosphor bronze, gun metal. Monel, stainless steel, and certain nickel steel alloys. Alloys with high proportions of ziac and tin together with copper and aluminum are not recommended.

Ejectors are available in many materials of construction to suit process requirements. If the gases or vapors are not corrosive, the diffuser is usually constructed of cast iron and the steam nozzle of stainless steel. For more corrosive gases and vapors, many combinations of materials such as bronze, various stainless-steel alloys, and other corrosion-resistant metals, carbon, and glass can be used.

Special quality steels - A vast range of special quality steels is made in electric arc furnaces by adding other metals to form steel alloys. The most commonly known of these is stainless steel, which has chromium and nickel added to form a corrosion-resistant steel. There are very many others however the very hard steels used to make machine tools, the steels specially formulated to make them suitable for engineering, steels developed to survive for decades the hostile environment of nuclear reactors, light but strong steels used in aerospace, extra tough steels for armor plating - to name but a few.

The shell may be of metal (steel, alloy, or non-ferrous), plastic, wood or some combination which may require the addition of liners or inner layers of rubber, plastic or brick. The mechanical problems of attaching inner nozzles, supports and brick require considerable attention that is not an integral part of sizing the equipment. Figures 9-2A-C show a typical large steel brick-lined-membrane lined tower with corbeled brick support locations. In these towers, temperature and/or corrosive conditions usually dictate the internal lining, and the selection of the proper acid- (or alkali-) proof cements.

Additionally, the combination of high temperatures (over 600 to 610 °F/320 °C, 1,550 psia/107 bar) and acid phosphates has given rise to more pronounced acid phosphate attack of both magnetite and base metal, which in modem tube steel alloy compositions may produce esoteric corrosion products such as maricite (NaFeP04). Secondary corrosion by caustic gouging (as similarly evidenced by hydrogen evolution) also occurs. 

Most common metals Stainless steel and copper-free steel alloys and aluminium. 

The electrochemical machining (ECM) of metals rests on the selective local anodic dissolution of metal. It is used to give metal parts the required shape and size, to drill holes, create hollows, cut shaped slots, and fashion parts of a complex pattern (e.g., the blades of gas turbines). It is an advantage of this method that it can also be used for hard metals (high-alloy steels and other alloys, metals in the quenched state, etc.). 

A liquid metal alloy [36] containing gallium, indium, and tin has been proposed as an additive to Portland cement. A formulation is shown in Table 18-10. The liquid metal alloy has a melting point of 11° C. Its presence does not cause corrosion of stainless steel up to 250° C but causes corrosion of steel alloys at temperature above 35° C, and it dissolves aluminum at room temperature. The alloy is harmless to skin and mucous membranes. 

Very hard, steel-gray metal. Hardens platinum. The International Prototype Meter in Paris consists of a Pt-Ir alloy. Its hardness and corrosion resistance is exploited in fountain-pen tips, spark plugs in powerful engines (airplanes), and electrical contacts. Used as a material in shells for nuclide batteries in satellites. Responsible for the iridescent properties of vapor-treated sunglasses.

In a centrally located recovery plant for the treatment of oxidic and hydroxidic metal containing waste (dust and sludge) from steel and metal works, including the plating industry, the main problem is the dominating amounts of iron. To avoid a secondary waste problem, special precautions have to be considered to create an iron product. One possibility is a pyro-metallurgical treatment to produce pig iron or a master alloy. 

Titanium metal is harder than steel but much lighter and does not corrode in seawater, which makes it an excellent alloy metal for use in most environmental conditions. It is also paramagnetic, which means that it is not responsive to magnetic fields. It is not a very good conductor of heat or electricity. 

Vanadium is an excellent alloy metal with iron that produces hard, strong, corrosion-resistant steel that resists most acids and alkali. It is even more resistant to seawater corrosion than is stainless steel. Vanadium is difficult to prepare in a pure form in large amounts. Impure forms seem to work as well as a very pure form of the metal when used as an alloy. When worked as a metal, it must be heated in an inert atmosphere because it will readily oxidize. 

The major use of vanadium is as an alloying metal to make a strong and corrosion-resistant form of steel that is well suited for structures such as nuclear reactors. It does not absorb neutrons or become stretched by heat and stress, as does normal stainless steel, thus making vanadium ideal for the construction of nuclear reactors. 

Some acids will attack nickel, but it offers excellent protection from corrosion from air and seawater. This quality makes it excellent for electroplating other metals to form a protective coating. Nickel is also an excellent alloy metal, particularly with iron, for making stainless steel as well as a protective armor for military vehicles. It is malleable and can be drawn through dies to form wires. About one pound of nickel metal can be drawn to about 200 miles of thin...
