Chapter 8: Manufacture Substance in Industry

8.1 Alloy and its Important


8.1.1 Pure metals
1. Pure metals are made up of one type of atoms, thus all atoms have the same size.

2. The atoms in metal are orderly arranged in layers to form a three-dimensional crystal lattice.
3. Force of attraction between the atom are very strong, thus a large amount of energy is required to
overcome the forces.
4. Thus pure metal have high melting and boiling point.

5. Properties of pure metals


a) Ductile
o Although the forces of attraction between the metal atoms are strong, they are not rigid.
o In a pure metal, atoms are of the same size and packed regularly in layers.
o When a force is apply, the layers of atom can slide over one another easily.
o Thus metals are ductile or can be stretched.

b)Malleable
There are some empty spaces in between the atoms. When a metal is knocked or presses,
groups of atoms may slide and then settle into new positions.

8.1.2 Alloy
1) Mixture of two or more elements with a certain fixed composition in which the major component
is a metal.
2) The aim of making alloys are:
a) To increase the strength and hardness of a pure metal
b) To increase the resistance to corrosion of a pure metal
c) To improve the appearance of a pure metal

Why alloy (example steel) is harder than pure metal (example iron)?
The atomic sizes of iron atom and carbon atom in steel are not the same. The present of these different
atoms disrupts the orderly arrangement of pure iron metal. So layers of atom will not slide over one
9
another easily when a force is applied. Thus alloy is harder than pure metal.
To Compare The Hardness of a Pure Metal and Its Alloy

The copper wire in an electric cable can be easily bent by hand. A one-cent coin made of an alloy of
copper with zinc cannot be bent easily.

Referring to the above situation, plan a laboratory experiment to investigate the effect of alloy formation on
the hardness of a metal. Your planning must include the

i. Statement of problem
ii. All the variable
iii. List of substances and apparatus
iv. Hypothesis
v. Procedure
vi. Tabulation of data

Answer:

Ruler
Weight
Retort stand
Steel ball bearing
Brass/Copper block
Statement of the problem : Is brass harder than copper?
Manipulated variable : Copper block and brass block
Responding variable : The size/diameter of the dent
Constant variable : Mass of weight, height of weight
Materials and apparatus : Brass block and copper block, ruler, 1 kg weight, retort stand and clamp,
thread, steel ball bearing and cellophane tape.
Hypothesis : The copper block will has a bigger diameter of dent than brass block when a
weight is hit on the steel ball bearing on it. // Brass is harder than Copper.
Procedure:
1. A steel ball bearing is attached to the surface of the brass block using a cellophane tape.
2. Using thread, the 1 kg weight is held 1 metre from the surface of the brass block.
3. Released the weight to hit the steel ball.
4. Measure the diameter of dent formed on the surface of brass block by using a ruler.
5. Repeated this activity 3 times to get the average diameter of dent.
6. Repeat step 1 to 5 by replacing brass block with copper block.
7. The diameter of dent on each block are observed and recorded in a table.

Observation:
Type of block Diameter of the dent (cm)
1 2 3 Average
Brass
Copper

Conclusion: The smaller the diameter of the dent, the harder and stronger is the material. Hypothesis is
accepted.

8.3 Composition of Ceramics and its Uses

1. Ceramic is a solid made up of inorganic and non-metallic substances.


2. Ceramic is produced through the process the process of sharping and by using heating technique at a
high temperature.

3. General properties: hard and strong, brittle (break easily), chemically inert, does not corrode, heat
insulator, electrical insulator, has high thermal resistant.

4. The atoms in ceramics are bonded by strong covalent bonds and ionic bonds. Hence, ceramics only
melts at very high temperatures, are hard and resistant to compression.
5. When force is applied, the atoms in ceramics cannot slide over each other because these atoms are
strongly bonded in indefinite arrangement.
6. The energy from the force will be used to break the bonds between the atoms.
7. Hence, ceramic is brittle and weak towards stretching
8. Electrons in ceramics cannot move freely to conduct electricity or heat.

9. Traditional ceramics are made from clay such as kaolin which is rich in kaolinite (hydrated
aluminium silicate, Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O).
10. Traditional ceramics used to make bricks, pottery, bowl and crockery.

11. Advanced ceramics are made from inorganic compounds such as oxides, carbides and nitrides.
12. Advanced ceramics have higher resistance to heat and abrasion, more chemically inert and have
superconductivity properties.
13. Advanced ceramic is used to make cutting disc, tungsten carbides ring and break disc.

14. Used of ceramic in the making of

8.4 Composite Materials and its Importance
1. A composite material is a structural material that is formed by combining two or more non-
homogenous substances, that is matrix substance and strengthening substance.
Cellulose fibres

Lignin
Lignin Cellulose fibres Wood

Example of matrix substance, strengthening substance and composite materials

2. Both components of a composite material have different physical and chemical properties which will has
better properties than the original components.
3. Examples: Reinforced concrete, optical fibre, superconductors and fibreglass and photochromic glass.

Reinforced concrete
1. Concrete is a composite material which consists of a mixture of stones, chips and sand bound
together by cement. It is strong but brittle and weak in tensile strength.
2. Steel is strong in tensile strength.
3. Concrete: matrix substance, Steel: strengthening substance
4. When concrete is reinforced with steel wire netting or steel rods, the resulting combination is a very
tough (harder) material with high tensile strength. This material is known as reinforced concrete.
5. Uses: bridges, dams and buildings.
Concrete alone is not strong enough

Metal rods reinforce the concrete

Reinforce concrete

Superconductors
1. Superconductor is capable of conducting electricity without any electrical resistance when they are
cooled to an extremely low temperature.
2. Ceramic superconductor – substances that can conduct electricity with zero resistance.
3. Example is yttrium barium copper oxide, YBCO.
4. Most of the superconductors are alloys of metal compounds or ceramics of metal oxides.
5. Characteristics: zero electrical resistance, light, strong magnetic force.
6. Used in Maglev train, computer parts, generators, transformers, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(NMR), Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI), particle accelerator.

14
Optical Fibre
1. Fibre optic cable consists of three layers.
2. Innermost layer core: silica glass fibre (strengthening substance), second layer: glass or plastic
(matrix substance), outermost layer: plastic as protective coating (matrix substance)
3. It transmits data, voice and images in a form of light and in digital format over long distances
without distortion and loss of signal, using light waves that pass through the fibre.
4. It used to replace copper wire in long distance telephone lines, in mobile phones, video cameras and
to link computers within local area network (LAN).

Fibre glass
1. Glass is hard, strong and has relatively high density but is relatively brittle.
2. Plastic is elastic, flexible with low density but not that strong
3. Fibreglass is produced when plastic (matrix substance) is strengthened with glass fibres
(strengthening substance).
4. Fibreglass has high tensile strength can be easily coloured, moulded and shaped, inert to chemical
and is low in density. It can be made into thin layers, yet very strong.
5. Used to make water storage tanks, badminton rackets, helmets, printed circuit board, car bodies such
as bumper or F1 car bodies.

Photochromic Glass
1. Photochromic glass is formed when glass (matrix substance) is combined with silver chloride, AgCl,
and copper (I) chloride, CuCl (strengthening substance).
2. When exposed to light, photochromic glass darkens and clears up when the rays are removed.
3. Silver atom will form when exposed to sunlight and so Ag atom prevents the passage of light.
4. In dim light, copper (I) chloride, CuCl in photochromic glass catalyses the reverse process so that
glass become transparent again.
5. Photochromic glass will absorb ultraviolet ray thus protects users from ultraviolet ray.
6. Used in vehicle windows, building windows, camera lenses, spectacles and eyes glasses.
