Abstract

This chapter draws attention metals and alloys used in construction. After explaining the differences between ferrous and nonferrous metals and alloys, the chapter follows up with the production processes of ferrous metals and alloys, describing ironmaking (blast furnace) and steelmaking (basic oxygen or electric arc furnace) in a summary way. Main characteristics of cast irons (white, gray, malleable, and spheroidal cast iron) and steel are further summarized, including steel recycling (steel is the most recycled material in the world). Corrosion of metals is described, and stainless steel, which is a consequence of corrosion issues generated in steel, is also discussed. Main metal forming processes (rolling, drawing, forging, and extrusion) are then commented. At the end of the chapter, a brief description of nonferrous metals and alloys, especially the aluminum and copper ones, is included.
