Metals for Motoring
1. The parts of your car come in all kinds of different shapes
and sizes and, what is equally important, in a wide variety of
different materials. Let us have an in-depth look at car materials.
2. Iron. Obviously the bulk of a motor car is made from metals
based on iron. Iron is an element that has a chemical symbol Fe
and is the father of the ferrous family. It is obtained by filling a
blast furnace with iron oxides or carbonates and coke, setting
light to the mass and blowing air through it. The carbon in the
coke and the oxygen in the iron oxide combine to produce carbon
monoxide that burns and takes more oxygen from the iron part of
the furnace charge to give carbon dioxide. As the temperature
increases the iron melts and, from time to time, is allowed to flow
out of the bottom of the furnace into special troughs cut into the
sand floor of the iron works.
3. Blast furnace-produced iron, the basic material of steels,
contains between 3 and 4% of carbon and smaller percentages of
impurities such as sulphur, silicon, phosphorus and manganese.
4. Cast iron. Ordinary cast iron is produced by melting pig
iron and pouring it into moulds, made of sand, to get it to set into
complex shapes. It is a cheap material that is soft, fairly brittle
and unsuitable for anything that takes a tension or bending load.
In compression there is virtually no plastic deformation or
elasticity; it just suddenly fractures across a plane at about 55
0
.
So cast iron is used for castings such as crankcases,
gearboxes and rear axles.
5. If the pig iron used for casting is specially selected to have
smaller amounts of carbon and a low sulphur and phosphorous
content and the rate of cooling the casting is controlled to a slow
rate, then the structure of the iron is improved. The graphite can
be made to form into balls or modules, which are much stronger
than the usual plates or starfish shapes and the iron part tends to
form as pearlite. These cast irons are two or three times as
strong in tension as ordinary grey cast iron and have a certain
amount of elasticity and less brittleness. They are used for
crankshafts as it is much easier to cast a crankshaft shape than to
forge it.
6. Copper. The main constituent of the brass/bronze family is
copper, which is obtained by roasting the copper sulphide ores
to remove the arsenic and antimony impurities and then
smelting the ores in a furnace to produce the molten metal.
Copper is soft, ductile and easily worked and is difficult to
produce in a really pure state. Plain copper is seldom used for
anything but electrical components in cars, due to its low
resistance. It is used for pipework because of its ductility, but
has been replaced by cheaper and better materials.
7. Aluminum. Aluminum is produced by electrolytic means
from bauxite, an aluminum hydroxide, and makes a good clean
casting with a fairly coarse grain structure. It is a fair substitute
for cast iron except that it is a bit more ductile. On the other
hand, it can be rolled or drawn into sheets, rods, and tubes that
can be bent due to their ductility whereas cast iron cannot.
