Iron
Iron is the most used metal in the world, used in a variety of applications from structural, engineering and construction to automotive and medical.
Application
- Construction: Building structures such as beams, columns, and frames.
- Machinery: Make various machine parts and equipment such as engines, pumps, and machine tools.
- Automotive: Make car bodies, engines, and other parts.
- Consumer Goods: Make bed frames, chairs, and other furniture.
Strength
- Cost-effectiveness: Generally cheaper than other metals such as aluminum or copper, so it costs less.
- High strength
- Plasticity: Can be machined into various shapes and sizes through methods such as casting, forging and rolling.
- Magnetic: Making motors, generators and other electromagnetic devices.
- Recyclability
Weakness
- Rusting: Susceptible to rusting in wet environments and requires appropriate corrosion protection.
- Heavy Weight: Denser and heavier than other light metals.
- Thermal Expansion: Higher coefficient of thermal expansion, which can cause dimensional changes when the temperature changes.
- Brittleness: Pure iron is brittle and usually requires alloying to improve its toughness.
