  1. Steel
    • Mild or soft steel - LOW CARBON CONTENT .15%-.25
    • Medium steel - Medium carbon content .25%-.45%
    • Hard steel - HIGH CARBON CONTENT .45%-.85%
    • Spring steel - high carbon content .85%-1.8%
  2. Steel Types
    • Stainless Steel - alloy contains P 12% chromium
    • Weathering Steel - high strength, low alloy steel that forms an oxide coating
    • Tungsten Steel - alloy containing 10%- 20% tungsten for increase hardness
  3. Nonferrous Metals - Aluminum
    • Aluminum - ductile, corrosion resistant due to oxide film
    • Anodizing - process of thickening and tinting oxide film
    • Easily extruded
    • Need to isolate from other metals to prevent galanic action
  4. Glavanic Series
    • Least reactive - gold, platinum
    • Most reactive - aluminum, zinc, magnesium
  5. Nonferruous Metals - Copper/Brass
    • Copper - ductile, corrosion resistant due to oxide film
    • Easily Extruded, need to isolate from other metals to prevent galvanic action
    • Brass - copper alloy containing zinc
  6. Nonferrous Metals - Lead
    Soft, malleable, corrosion resistant
