METAL WORK

WEEK TOPIC/ ACTIVITIES

CONTENT
1 General over view of metal work, Teacher:
overview of metal work Give a brief historical back ground of metal
and explain a metal work as a profession to
students.
-define metal and state its importance.
2 Career opportunities in metal Teacher
work, -list various career in metal work such as
Function of: a machinist’s fitters, welding, fitting, machining, fabricating,
fabricators, welders, engineers, etc. engineering. Tell the students that they have
various careers opportunities that as a metal
work, he or she can be fitted into any of these
careers /Choices.
3 Engineering materials, definition of Teacher:
metals Different metal should be brought into the
-Difference between metal and non – class to show to students and tell them the
metals. difference between metals. e.g. metal contain
basically iron, while non metal contains little
or iron in them.
4 Types of metals Teacher:
(1) Ferrous metal e.g. Definition of metals, classification of metals
- pig iron into ferrous and non- ferrous metal.
-steel -present pieces of ferrous metal e.g. copper and
-wrought iron steel piece and that of an alloy and tell them
-cast iron that two or more metal are combined for form
(2) Non- ferrous e.g. an alloy.
- aluminum
2mc
Copper etc.
(3) alloys
5 Uses of metals, Teacher :
uses of metals:- Pick different piece of metals and show them
1. for construction of vehicles, to students and explain where they can be used
doors frames, structural member e.g. mild steel plate for the construction of
of building and bridge metals doors, doors frame, contraction of bridge,
are as follows steel , cast iron, construction of structural member in buildings.
wrought iron etc. construction of water tanks
potentials; - cut a mild steel plate of (1.5×
100×100) mm and constant a prototype of a
water tank.
6 uses of ,metals Teacher:
-non ferrous metals and alloy, Use metal specimen in the class to show the
aluminum, zinc, copper lead, tin. etc. students and ask them to identity different
 types of non- ferrous metals. List the metal and
ask them to identity from the list of the ones
you brought to the class, non ferrous, ferrous
and alloys and group them. e.g. bronze and
brass as an alloy, and define the alloys.
7 properties of metals, Teacher:
Definition of metals physical Tell the students that, the physical properties of
properties of metal. metals are the characteristic of metals that can
mechanical properties be obscene and measure. They are not acted
chemical properties upon by external force. e.g. color and density.
Melting point electrical conductivity.
Characteristic of metals which in being acted
upon. It determines the range of usefulness of
the metals. e. g. fusibility.
this is conformed with the chemical
composition and chemical reaction of metals e.
g. matting, tempera ion and corrosion
resistance
8 Physical properties of metals, Teacher:
ductility Pick a mild steel plate and use lack saw bleed
malleability to cut the metal to demonstrate the ability of
hardness metal to withstand, scratches, moers, abrasion
or in dentition by harder bodies.
Malleable metals should be homered, rolling.
9 Production of metals, Teacher:
Production of metals type of metals. Show different types of metals to students and
And their sources. Steel, pig iron, state their sources.
iron ore, copper, cast iron, aluminum -state methods of extracting of ore from the
etc. earth crust. Explains the uses of the metals
method of extraction : listed.
- furans used for the production of
metals
- Blast furnace.
10 production of metals, Teacher:
Bessemer counter process Sketch different furnaces for students to seed
-open heart furnace explain the principle of operation for reach of
-reuerboratony formulae etc. the metal production e.g. steel and pig iron etc.
mention the three basic meridians used for the
manufacturing processes.
11 form of metals, Teacher:
sheet, flat, plates, square, chorines Introduce students to different form of metals
section, round pipes u shape, angle presenting different forms of metals to them
shape etc. and state how those metals are melted before
running the melts into different sizes and shape
of mold. which can then be used for
constructional purposes
