Ferrous Alloys
• Alloys based on metallic element iron (Latin – ferrum)
• Iron is rarely found in pure state ; It converts to oxide in a
matter of few years
• Engineers usually find it associated with carbon (non-metal)
• Although all Fe-C alloys can arguably be considered as
ferrous alloys, these are referred to as Wrought iron, plain
carbon steel and plain cast irons (depending on C content
and the way it is associated with iron content)
• The term ferrous alloys is reserved for ferrous materials
containing additional metallic alloying elements in sufficient
quantities to modify the properties of the material

Bearing metals
...... all metals not classified as ferrous
• Pure non-ferrous metals
Generally have poor mechanical properties and
are used for applications where special
properties are required
Ex corrosion resistance (Cu, Al, Pb, Zn);
electric conductivity (Cu, Al), thermal
conductivity (Cu, Al)

• Non-ferrous alloys
Copper alloys:
Bronze (Cu-Sn) – High corrosion resistance; easily
machined; relative high melting temperature. Heavy and
expensive compared to ferrous materials
Applications: steam and hydraulic valve components;
marine applications
14
• Brass (Cu and Zn) – Weaker and less corrosion
resistant compared to bronzes. Easily hot formed and
can be easily machined to good finish.
Applications: Manufacture of electrical components and
domestic water fittings.
15
• Aluminium alloys
Generally less strong than ferrous and copperbased alloys however they are lighter in weight.
More corrosion resistant than ferrous materials
(except stainless steels). The strength of these
alloys fall rapidly with temperature
16
• Titanium alloys
Strong as steel and light in weight as aluminium.
Titanium retains its strength at high
temperatures and is very corrosion resistant. On
the negative side, titanium is very costly and is
difficult to shape
