Study Notes
Metal Concepts
- Forging (Smida): Shaping metal by hammering
- Casting (Gjuta): Shaping metal by melting and pouring into a mold
- Alloy (Legering): A mixture of metals or a metal with non-metals
- Steel (Stål): An alloy of iron and carbon; stronger and harder than pure iron due to carbon atoms preventing iron atoms from sliding past each other.
- Bronze (Brons): An alloy of copper and tin; one of the earliest alloys discovered
Metal Alloying Details
- Alloys: Combinations of metals or a metal with small amounts of non-metals.
- Steel: An alloy of iron and carbon. Carbon atoms prevent iron atoms from sliding past each other, making steel stronger and harder
- Bronze: An alloy of copper and tin. One of the first alloys used by humans.
Metal Manufacturing
- Blast Furnace (Masugn): Industrial facility that converts iron ore into iron metal through a chemical reaction of iron oxide and carbon.
Corrosion
- Corrosion: Chemical reaction between a metal and other substances (often oxygen) forming ionic compounds.
