Weldability - is ability of the materials to joint by means of welding without
cracks, leakage and other defects.
Structure of alloys.
Mechanical mix.
Pure metals as constructional materials aren't almost applied. They alloy with
other metals and nonmetals for improving of mechanical properties, corrosion
resistance and obtaining special physical properties. Properties of the received
alloy will depend on its structure.
The following types of alloys can be formed at the joint crystallization of
several elements : mechanical mix, firm solution and chemical compound.
Possibility of this or that type of an alloy is defined by nature of interaction of
elements in the course of crystallization. Let's consider a structure of these
alloys in case of joint crystallization of two elements A and B.
The mechanical mix is formed at separate crystallization of components. The
structure of an alloy will consist of crystals of substance A and B
communication between which is carried out on borders of grains.
Firm solution.
Firm solution is formed when each crystal of an alloy is under construction by
the atoms of both substances. Only one of components builds a crystal lattice,
and other component takes place in this lattice in an atomic look. Depending on
nature of placement distinguish firm solutions of replacement and introduction.
At formation of firm solution of replacement atoms of one of components, for
example B, partially replace atoms of a component A in knots of its crystal
lattice. Firm solution of introduction is formed, when atoms of one of
components take place in interstices of a crystal lattice of another.
Firm solutions of replacement can be formed at joint crystallization of metals,
and firm solutions of introduction at joint crystallization of metal with nonmetal,
173
for example iron with carbon. Firm solutions can be designated by letters of the
Greek alphabet α, β, γ, etc. So, for example, firm solution on the basis of a
crystal lattice of substance A can be designated with A (B) or α. The structure of
such alloy consists of identical crystals of firm solution and under a microscope
looks as structure of a pure metal or a chemical compound. Values of
properties of an alloy - firm solution can be both above and below properties of
initial components.
Chemical compound.
The chemical compound is formed when crystallizing components mutually
chemically are active. Every arising crystal of an alloy will be under
construction with atoms of substance A and B in the proportion defined by the
formula of connection. The crystal lattice of a chemical compound will be new,
unlike the crystal lattice of initial components. Such alloy strongly differs from
the components forming it by properties
The structure of an alloy defines its properties therefore it is important to know
how this structure will change at temperature variations and alloy composition.
Dependence between of an alloy structure, its composition and temperature is
described by means of state diagram.
Polymorphic transformations in metals.
Many metals can exist in the different crystal forms depending on temperature
or in different updating. As a result of polymorphic transformation atoms of the
crystal body having a lattice of one type, are reconstructed in this way that the
crystal lattice of other type is formed. The polymorphic updating which steady
at lower temperature is accepted to designate a letter α, at higher β, then γ etc
for the majority of metals.
Transition of pure metal from one polymorphic updating in another in the
conditions of balance proceeds at constant temperature (a critical point) and is
accompanied by heat release if transformation goes at cooling, and heat
absorption in case of heating.
As a result of polymorphic transformation the new crystal grains having other
size and form are formed. Therefore such transformation is called
recrystallization.
Polymorphic transformations occur in the pure metals, in alloys, in chemical
compounds.
Polymorphic transformation is accompanied by spasmodic change of all
properties of metals and alloys: specific volume, thermal capacity, heat
conductivity, electrical conduction, magnetic properties, mechanical and
chemical properties etc.
Corrosion of metals.
Metal materials contact with the environment surrounding, are exposed with
this speed to destruction. Metals enter oxidation-reduction reactions with the
174
substances being in environment, and are oxidized. It is the reason of
destruction.
The spontaneous destruction of metal materials occurring under chemical
influence of environment, is called as corrosion.
Main types of corrosion are:
- Corrosion in gases (gas corrosion) -
- Corrosion in solutions of electrolytes (electrochemical corrosion).
Corrosion in gases occurs at the increased temperatures when moisture
condensation on a surface of metal is impossible. Details of internal combustion
engines, fittings of furnaces etc. are exposed to gas corrosion. Gas corrosion is
undergone by the metal subjected to thermal processing. As a result of gas
corrosion on a surface of metal oxides, sulfides and other components are
formed.
All cases of corrosion belong to electrochemical corrosion in water solutions
and corrosion of the metal being in the damp atmosphere. As a result of
electrochemical corrosion oxidation of metal can lead to formation of insoluble
products (for example, rusts) and to transition of metal to solution in the form of
ions.
Speed of corrosion depends by nature of metal and an oxidizer, on concentration
of an oxidizer, and also from the content of various impurity in metal and in the
corrosion environment - in the atmosphere and in solution.
To protection against corrosion is applied the various methods. The most
important of which are:
- application of chemically resistant alloys.,
- protection of a surface of metal by coverings.,
- processing of the corrosion environment.,
- electrochemical methods.
For manufacturing of the equipment which is treating to effect of corrosion
gases, apply heat resisting alloys: heat resisting steel and iron, alloys on the
basis of nickel or cobalt. From chemically resistant alloys most widely use
corrosion-proof and acid proof steel.
The coverings applied to protection of metals, are subdivided on:
- metal which form on the surface protective films (chrome, nickel, aluminum,
etc.).,
- nonmetallic coverings varnishes, paints, enamels, phenol-formaldehyde and
other pitches.,
- the coverings created by chemical or electrochemical processing of metal,
representing protective oxide or salt films (the aluminum oxide-formation, a
steel phosphate coating).
The method of processing of environment consists at a distance of solution in
which the protected detail is maintained, dissolved oxygen or in addition to this
solution of the substances which are slowing down corrosion, - inhibitors. It is
applied, when the volume of liquid is limited.
175
Electrochemical methods are applied in the environments which are well
carrying out an electric current.
