Engineering Materials and Heat Treatment Quiz

Ferrous metals contain iron and steel, while non-ferrous metals do not have iron or iron components.

Impact testing of metals is performed to determine the impact resistance or toughness of materials by calculating the amount of energy absorbed during fracture.

An alloy is a substance formed from the combination of two or more metals, or from combinations of metals and other elements. Examples include brass, bronze, and gun metal.
