1.0 INTRODUCTIONMETALMetal is an element, compound or alloy that is a good conductor of both electricity and heat. Metal crystal structure and specific metal properties are determined by metallic bonding force, holding together the atoms of a metal.FERROUS METALFerrous metals are metals that consist mostly of iron and small amounts of other elements. They are usually important as engineering construction materials. Their widespread use is accounted for by three factors: Iron-containing compound exist in abundant quantities within the earths crust. Metallic iron and steel alloys may be produced using relatively economical extraction. Refining, alloying, and fabrication techniques. Ferrous alloys are extremely versatile, in that they may be tailored to have a wide range of mechanical and physical properties.Ferrous metals are prone to rusting if exposed to moisture. Ferrous metals can be picked up by a magnet. The rusting and magnetic properties in ferrous metals are both down due to the iron. The examples of ferrous metals are: Low carbon steels High carbon steels Cast iron

STEELSSteels are iron-carbon alloys. It contains 0.01%-2.00% wt carbon,C + other alloying elements. The mechanical properties are sensitive to the content of the carbon. Most common steels are classified according to carbon concentration that is, low carbon, medium carbon and high carbon types. Subclasses also exist according to the concentration of other alloying elements such as plain carbon steels & alloy steels. Plain carbon steels contains carbon + a little manganese while alloy steels contains carbon + more alloying elements (added in specific concentrations).

2.0 OBJECTIVE

To introduce to students about the mechanical and chemical properties of an alloy. To introduce to students the process of alloying. To introduce to students type of alloy and its usage in our daily life.

3.0 LOW CARBON STEEL

Low carbon steel also known as mild steel is a type of metal that has an alloying element made up of a relatively low amount of carbon. It contains about
