Metals

|
|
Aluminium
|
Light, soft, ductile, highly
conductive, corrosion-resistant
|
Aircraft, engine components,
foil, cooking utensils
|
Copper
|
Very malleable, tough and ductile, highly conductive, corrosion-resistant.
|
Electric wiring, PCBs,
tubing
|
Brass(65% copper,
35% zinc)
|
Very corrosion-resistant. Casts
well, easily machined. Can be
work hardened. Good conductor.
|
Valves, taps castings, ship
fittings, electrical contacts
|
Mild steel (iron with
0.15 % to 0.3 %
carbon)
|
High strength, ductile, tough,
fairly malleable. Cannot be
hardened and tempered. Low
cost. Poor corrosion - resistance
|
General purpose
|
High carbon steel
(iron with 0.7 % to
1.4 % carbon)
|
Hardest of the carbon steels but
less ductile and malleable . Can
be hardened and tempered.
|
Cutting tools such as drills,
files, saws
|
In this table I can see 5 kinds of MATERIALS. They are Aluminium, Copper, Brass, Mild steel and High carbon steel.
Aluminium is light, soft, ductile, highly conductive and corrosion-resistant. It is used to make aircraft and engine components.
Copper is very malleable, tough and ductile. It is used to make electric wiring and tubing.
Brass is very corrosion-resistant. It is easily machined. It can be work hardened. It is used to make valves, taps castings and ship fittings.
Mild steel has high strength. It is ductile, tough and fairly malleable. It can not be hardened and tempered. It is used for general purpose.
High carbon steel is the hardest of the carbon steels but less ductile and malleable. It can be hardened and tempered. It is used to make cutting tools such as drills, files and saws.
That is all the information about the 5 kinds of MATERIALS that I know
