      • Read the text "Metallurgy" and answer the question why metallurgy is important

      Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and engineering that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their inter-metallic compounds, and their mixtures, which are called alloys. Metallurgy encompasses both the science and the technology of metals. That is, the way in which science is applied to the production of metals, and the engineering of metal components used in products for both consumers and manufacturers. Metallurgy is distinct from the craft of metalworking. Metalworking relies on metallurgy in a similar manner to how medicine relies on medical science for technical advancement. A specialist practitioner of metallurgy is known as a Metallurgist.

      The science of metallurgy is subdivided into two broad categories: chemical metallurgy and physical metallurgy. Chemical metallurgy is chiefly concerned with the reduction and oxidation of metals, and the chemical performance of metals. Subjects of study in chemical metallurgy include mineral processing, the extraction of metals, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and chemical degradation (corrosion).[1] In contrast, physical metallurgy focuses on the mechanical properties of metals, the physical properties of metals, and the physical performance of metals. Topics studied in physical metallurgy include crystallography, material characterization, mechanical metallurgy, phase transformations, and failure mechanisms.[2]

      Historically, metallurgy has predominately focused on the production of metals. Metal production begins with the processing of ores to extract the metal, and includes the mixture of metals to make alloys. Metal alloys are often a blend of at least two different metallic elements. However, non-metallic elements are often added to alloys in order to achieve properties suitable for an application. The study of metal production is subdivided into ferrous metallurgy (also known as black metallurgy) and non-ferrous metallurgy (also known as colored metallurgy). Ferrous metallurgy involves processes and alloys based on iron while non-ferrous metallurgy involves processes and alloys based on other metals. The production of ferrous metals accounts for 95 percent of world metal production.[3]

      Modern metallurgists work in both emerging and traditional areas as part of an interdisciplinary team alongside material scientists, and other engineers. Some traditional areas include mineral processing, metal production, heat treatment, failure analysis, and the joining of metals (including welding, brazing, and soldering). Emerging areas for metallurgists include nanotechnology, superconductors, composites, biomedical materials, electronic materials (semiconductors), and surface engineering.

      Read the text and tell the “Advantages and disadvantages of powder metallurgy”

      The process of manufacturing shaped components or semi-finished products such as bar and sheet from metal powder is called as Powder metallurgy. The technique of powder metallurgy combines unique technical features with cost. This technique deals with the production of metal and non-metal powders and manufacture of components.

      Powder metallurgy is generally used for iron-based components. The powders used as raw material can be elemental, pre-alloyed, or partially alloyed. Elemental powders like iron and copper are more compressible and produce pressed compacts with good strength. Pre-alloyed powders are harder but less compressible therefore require higher pressing loads to produce high density compacts.

      Powder metallurgy technique has many advantages as well as disadvantages. 

       

      Some of the advantages of Powder Metallurgy are as follows:

      1. Powder metallurgy produces near net shape components. The technique required few or no secondary operations.

      2. Parts of powder metallurgy can be produced from high melting point refractory metals with less cost and difficulties.

      3. The tolerance of components produced by this technique have quite high tolerance, therefore no further machining is not required.

      4. This technique involves high Production Rate along with low Unit Cost.

      5. It can produce complicated forms with a uniform microstructure.

      6. Powder metallurgy has full capacity for producing a variety of alloying systems and particulate composites.

      7. This technique has flexibilities for producing PM parts with specific physical and mechanical properties like hardness, strength, density and porosity.

      8. By using powder metallurgy, parts can be produced with infiltration and impregnation of other materials to obtain special characteristics which are needed for specific application.

      9. Powder metallurgy can be used to produce bi-metallic products, porous bearing and sintered carbide.

      10. Powder metallurgy makes use of 100% raw material as no material is wasted as scrap during process.

       

      Disadvantages of Powder Metallurgy:

      1. The production of powder for metallurgy is very high.

      2. The products of metallurgy can have limited shapes and features.

      3. This technique causes potential workforce health problems from atmospheric

      contamination of the workplace.

      4. The tooling and equipment required for powder metallurgy are very expensive, therefore becomes main issue with low production volume.

      5. It’s difficult to produce large and complex shaped parts with powder metallurgy.

      6. The parts produce by powder metallurgy have low ductility and strength.

      7. Finally divided powder like aluminum, magnesium, titanium and zirconium are fire hazard and explosive in nature.

      8. This technique is not useful for low melting powder such as zinc, cadmium and tin as they show thermal difficulties during sintering operations.

      Blast furnace, a vertical shaft furnace that produces liquid metals by the reaction of a flow of air introduced under pressure into the bottom of the furnace with a mixture of metallic ore, coke, and flux fed into the top. Blast furnaces are used to produce pig iron from iron ore for subsequent processing into steel, and they are also employed in processing lead, copper, and other metals. Rapid combustion is maintained by the current of air under pressure.


      A zinc-lead blast furnace and lead-splash condenser.

      Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

      Blast furnaces produce pig iron from iron ore by the reducing action of carbon (supplied as coke) at a high temperature in the presence of a fluxing agent such as limestone. Ironmaking blast furnaces consist of several zones: a crucible-shaped hearth at the bottom of the furnace; an intermediate zone called a bosh between the hearth and the stack; a vertical shaft (the stack) that extends from the bosh to the top of the furnace; and the furnace top, which contains a mechanism for charging the furnace. The furnace charge, or burden, of iron-bearing materials (e.g., iron-ore pellets and sinter), coke, and flux (e.g., limestone) descends through the shaft, where it is preheated and reacts with ascending reducing gases to produce liquid iron and slag that accumulate in the hearth. Air that has been preheated to temperatures from 900° to 1,250° C (1,650° and 2,300° F), together with injected fuel such as oil or natural gas, is blown into the furnace through multiple tuyeres (nozzles) located around the circumference of the furnace near the top of the hearth; these nozzles may number from 12 to as many as 40 on large furnaces. The preheated air is, in turn, supplied from a bustle pipe, a large-diameter pipe encircling the furnace. The preheated air reacts vigorously with the preheated coke, resulting in both the formation of the reducing gas (carbon monoxide) that rises through the furnace, and a very high temperature of about 1,650° C (3,000° F) that produces the liquid iron and slag.

      Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

      The bosh is the hottest part of the furnace because of its close proximity to the reaction between air and coke. Molten iron accumulates in the hearth, which has a taphole to draw off the molten iron and, higher up, a slag hole to remove the mixture of impurities and flux. The hearth and bosh are thick-walled structures lined with carbon-type refractory blocks, while the stack is lined with high-quality fireclay brick to protect the furnace shell. To keep these refractory materials from burning out, plates, staves, or sprays for circulating cool water are built into them.

      Read the text “The Modern Steel Production Process” and tell about the methods for manufacturing steel.

      Steel is the world's most popular construction material because of its unique combination of durability, workability, and cost. It's an iron alloy that contains 0.2-2% carbon by weight.

      According to the World Steel Association, some of the largest steel-producing countries are China, India, Japan, and the U.S. China accounts for roughly 50% of this production. The world's largest steel producers include ArcelorMittal, China Baowu Group, Nippon Steel Corporation, and HBIS Group.

      The Modern Steel Production Process

      Methods for manufacturing steel have evolved significantly since industrial production began in the late 19th century. Modern methods, however, are still based on the same premise as the original Bessemer Process, which uses oxygen to lower the carbon content in iron.

      Today, steel production makes use of recycled materials as well as traditional raw materials, such as iron ore, coal, and limestone. Two processes, basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) and electric arc furnaces (EAF), account for virtually all steel production.

      Ironmaking, the first step in making steel, involves the raw inputs of iron ore, coke, and lime being melted in a blast furnace. The resulting molten iron—also referred to as hot metal—still contains 4-4.5% carbon and other impurities that make it brittle.

      Primary steelmaking has two methods: BOS (Basic Oxygen Furnace) and the more modern EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) methods. The BOS method adds recycled scrap steel to the molten iron in a converter. At high temperatures, oxygen is blown through the metal, which reduces the carbon content to between 0-1.5%.

      The EAF method, however, feeds recycled steel scrap through high-power electric arcs (with temperatures of up to 1,650 degrees Celsius) to melt the metal and convert it into high-quality steel.

      Secondary steelmaking involves treating the molten steel produced from both BOS and EAF routes to adjust the steel composition. This is done by adding or removing certain elements and/or manipulating the temperature and production environment. Depending on the types of steel required, the following secondary steelmaking processes can be used:

      • Stirring
      • Ladle furnace
      • Ladle injection
      • Degassing
      • CAS-OB (composition adjustment by sealed argon bubbling with oxygen blowing)

      Continuous casting sees the molten steel cast into a cooled mold, causing a thin steel shell to solidify. The shell strand is withdrawn using guided rolls, then it's fully cooled and solidified. Next, the strand is cut depending on application—slabs for flat products (plate and strip), blooms for sections (beams), billets for long products (wires), or thin strips.

      In primary forming, the steel that is cast is then formed into various shapes, often by hot rolling, a process that eliminates cast defects and achieves the required shape and surface quality. Hot rolled products are divided into flat products, long products, seamless tubes, and specialty products.

      Finally, it's time for manufacturing, fabrication, and finishing. Secondary forming techniques give the steel its final shape and properties. These techniques include:

      • Shaping (cold rolling), which is done below the metal's recrystallization point, meaning mechanical stress—not heat—affects change
      • Machining (drilling)
      • Joining (welding)
      • Coating (galvanizing)
      • Heat treatment (tempering)
      • Surface treatment (carburizing)
