Properties and Composition of Pig Iron
by
in MetalworkToday you’ll get to know the definition, applications, properties, composition, and types of pig iron merchant. Pig iron is a solid form of hot metal, obtained from iron ore or scrap recycling, and it is processed with a blast furnace or an electric arc furnace. Pig iron is used as a raw material for iron steel making and most of this material was…
Understanding iron ore smelting process
by
in Metalworkiron smelting is the common way in which metals are produced. It is normally performed in a blast furnace In this article, you’ll get to know the definition and working principle of an iron ore smelting process. What is iron smelting? Smelting is the production of metal, especially iron, from ore in a process that…

Today, you’ll get to know the common raw materials used for the production of iron and steel. Raw Materials used in Making iron The basic raw materials for making iron and steel are: Iron ore Iron…
Different Types of Nonferrous Metals and their Uses
by
in MetalworkNonferrous metals are metals or alloys that do not have an appreciable amount of iron in them and they are of different types. These metals are special due to their properties which include malleability, non-magnetic, high conductivity, resistance to corrosion, and low weight. Even though almost all these types of nonferrous metals are more costly…
Difference Between Nonferrous and Ferrous metals
by
in MetalworkThe two types of metals ever known are ferrous and nonferrous metals with a vast differences and few similarities. They have different qualities, properties, and uses due to what they are made of. Nonferrous metals don’t contain iron whilst ferrous contain iron in them. In this article, you’ll get to know the difference between ferrous…
Different types of forging defects, Causes and their remedies
by
in MetalworkDefects occur in forging despite it being one of the best manufacturing processes that give better mechanical properties. These defects need to be examined and can be prevented. Forging defects can be controlled by careful consideration of work material volume, good designing of the forging die, and the process. To avoid this forging defect, care…
Different Types of Forging process
Since the earliest Mesopotamians, forging has been a standard method of metal manufacture. Forging uses compressive, confined forces to shape metal. Forging has undergone major improvements since it first emerged in the fertile crescent, making it a more effective, quick, and durable technique. This is due to the fact that forging is now typically carried…
