CAST IRON & WROUGHT IRON
- 1. IRON AS A BUILDING MATERIAL (TYPES, USES,etc.) Presented by- • Aiman • Sundus • M.Raghib • Bilal • Hamzah
- 2. • Iron(Fe) is the second most common metal on Earth, and the most widely-used metal. • It is element26, a transition metal in Group 8. • Its symbol is Fe, from the Latin word for iron, ferrum. • Atomic number: 26 • Mass number:55.85 • It is used a lot because it is very strong and cheap. • Iron is the main ingredient used to make steel. INTRODUCTION
- 3. •Iron is a lustrous, ductile, malleable, silver-gray metal. •It is known to exist in four distinct crystalline forms. •Iron rusts in damp air, but not in dry air and dissolves readily in dilute acids. •It has a very high tensile strength. •Boiling point : 3000 °C(5,400 °F) •Melting point : 1,536 °C (2,797 °F) PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF IRON
- 4. • Iron is the most widely used of all the metals, accounting for 95%of worldwide metal production. • Its low cost and high strength make it indispensable in Engineering applications such as - • The construction of machinery and machine tools, automobiles, the hulls of large ships, and structural components for buildings. • Since pure iron is quite soft, it is most commonly Combined with alloying elements to make steel. • Iron is also used for protection from ionizing radiation Cast iron has been used for centuries and was used in architecture in the pre-modern period. APPLICATION AND USES OF IRON
- 5. • The main disadvantage of iron is that pure iron, and most of its alloys, suffer badly from rust if not protected in some way. • Painting, galvanization, passivation, plastic coating and bluing are all used to protect iron from rust by Excluding water and oxygen or By cathodic protection. DISADVANTAGES

- 21. 2/04. Grey cast iron Iron-carbon alloys containing flakes of graphite embedded in steel matrix, which show a grey-blackish coloured fracture due to graphite’—the free foam of carbon, are called grey cast irons. The strength of grey iron depends on the strength of steel matrix and the size and character of graphite flakes in it. Microstructure of Gray Cast Iron Microstructure of Gray Cast Iron
- 22. PROPERTIES OF GREY CAST IRON 1. Low cost of production. 2. Low melting point: (1150°—1250°C) 3. Cast irons have excellent fluidity and take good mould-impressions easily. 4. High compressive strength. 5. High thermal conductivity, and have ability to withstand thermal shocks. 6. Good resistance to atmospheric corrosion due to high silicon and perhaps other factors, than mild steels. 7. High damping capacity -due to the graphite flakes, which breaks the continuity of the metallic matrix, and thus, vibrations are not allowed to transfer from one side of flake to other.

- 40. FEATURES Cast Iron flanged pipe and fittings are usually cast in the larger diameters. Smaller sizes have loose flanges screwed on the ends of double spigot spun pipe. Pipes are supplied in 3.7 m to 5.5 meters lengths and a variety of joints is available including socket and spigot and flanged joints. The pipes have been classified as LA,A and B according to their thicknesses. Class LA pipes have been taken as the basis for evolving the series of pipes. · Class A allows a 10% increase in thickness over Class LA. · Class B allows a 20% increase in thickness over Class LA.

- 42. Advantages they don't echo when water moves through good lasting qualities.. Disadvantages heavy weight, consequent high transport costs, short length, leading to higher laying and jointing cost, low tensile strength, liability to defect of inner surface
- 43. 2.Ductile pipes . Nominal pipe sizes vary from 3 inches up to 64 inches The ductile iron used to manufacture the pipe is characterized by the spheroidal or nodular nature of the graphite within the iron pipe is manufactured using centrifugal casting in metal or resin lined molds
- 44. joints. Individual lengths of ductile iron pipe are joined either by flanges, couplings, or some form of spigot and socket arrangement Flanges are flat rings around the end of pipes which mate with an equivalent flange from another pipe, the two being held together by bolts usually passed through holes drilled through the flanges. Spigot and sockets involve a normal pipe end, the spigot, being inserted into the socket or bell of another pipe or fitting with a seal being made between the two within the socket. Normal spigot and socket joints do not allow direct metal to metal contact with all forces being transmitted through the elastomeric seal
- 45. The most popular, quickest, and easiest-to assemble joint for Ductile Iron pipe and fittings in underground applications is the push-on joint. This joint consists of a single rubber gasket placed in a groove inside the socket at the bell end of the pipe. There are two types of push-on joints: the FASTITE®1 and TYTON®2 joints,which are shown in Figure
