Steels engineering properties

Table 4.5 compares PE fibres with those of glass and steel. Engineering properties are intermediate between the two but if we take into account the very low density, the specific properties of PE fibres are by far the most attractive. 

In addition to nickel alloys, nickel also forms an important alloying element in stainless steels and in cast irons, in both of which it confers additional corrosion resistance and improved mechanical and engineering properties, and in Fe-Ni alloys for obtaining controlled physical and magnetic properties (see Chapter 3). With non-ferrous metals nickel also forms important types of alloys, especially with copper, i.e. cupro-nickels and nickel silvers these are dealt with in Section 4.2.

Foundation design is as much an art as a science discipline. Although most of the foundation structures are man-made, the surrounding geomaterials are created, deposited, and altered in nature over the geologic times. The composition and engineering properties of engineering materials such as steel... 

Alloy cast irons. Alloy additions are made to cast irons to improve the properties for particular purposes. Alloy cast irons can be used in engineering applications where plain cast iron is unsuitable and may even replace steel for some components such as crankshafts.

The great advantage of steel as an engineering material is its versatiUty. Properties can be controlled and changed by heat treatment. Thus, if steel is to be formed into some intricate shape, it can be made very soft and ductile by heat treatment on the other hand, alternative heat treatments can also impart high strength.

To ensure compatibility, detailed engineering descriptions of all materials and their metallurgical properties are needed. General information (e.g., mild steel) does not provide sufficient data to establish compatibility in conductive or corrosive media.
