Romeo and Juliet: A Quest Upon the Web |
Create a 10-day trip
to London to visit the New Globe Theater. Find
out how much plane tickets cost, costs to stay
in London, and how much spending money you will
need for meals, as well as taking in the sites
including tickets to a performance of one of
Shakespeare's plays. Determine total dollars
you will need (don't forget the exchange rate!). |

Mr. Mavis' Properties of Metals
return to top |
|
Hardness
|
Hardness refers to
the ability of a metal to resist abrasion,
penetration, cutting action, or permanent
distortion. Structural parts are often formed
from metals in their soft state and then heat
treated to harden them so that the finished
shape will be retained. Hardness and strength
are closely associated properties of all metals.
|
|
Brittleness
|
Brittleness is the
property of a metal that allows little bending
or deformation without shattering. In other
words, a brittle metal is apt to break or crack
without change of shape. Because structural
metals are often subjected to shock loads,
brittleness is not a very desirable property.
Cast iron, cast aluminum, and very hard steel
are brittle metals. |
|
Malleability
|
A metal that can be
hammered, rolled, or pressed into various shapes
without cracking or breaking or other
detrimental effects is said to be malleable.
This property is necessary in sheet metal that
is to be worked into curved shapes such as
cowlings, fairings, and wing tips. Copper is one
example of a malleable metal. |
|
Ductility
|
Ductility is the
property of a metal that permits it to be
permanently drawn, bent, or twisted into various
shapes without breaking. This property is
essential for metals used in making wire and
tubing. Ductile metals are greatly preferred for
aircraft use because of their ease of forming
and resistance to failure under shock loads. For
this reason, aluminum alloys are used for cowl
rings, fuselage and wing skin, and formed or
extruded parts, such as ribs, spars, and
bulkheads. Chrome-molybdenum steel is also
easily formed into desired shapes. Ductility is
similar to malleability. |
|
Elasticity
|
Elasticity is that
property that enables a metal to return to its
original shape when the force that causes the
change of shape is removed. This property is
extremely valuable, because it would be highly
undesirable to have a part permanently distorted
after an applied load was removed. Each metal
has a point known as the elastic limit, beyond
which it cannot be loaded without causing
permanent distortion. When metal is loaded
beyond its elastic limit and permanent
distortion does result, it is referred to as
strained. In aircraft construction, members and
parts are so designed that the maximum loads to
which they are subjected will never stress them
beyond their elastic limit. |
|
Toughness
|
A material that
possesses toughness will withstand tearing or
shearing and may be stretched or otherwise
deformed without breaking. Toughness is a
desirable property in aircraft metals. |
|
Density
|
Density is the
weight of a unit volume of a material. In
aircraft work, the actual weight of a material
per cubic inch is preferred, since this figure
can be used in determining the weight of a part
before actual manufacture. Density is an
important consideration when choosing a material
to be used in the design of a part and still
maintain the proper weight and balance of the
aircraft. |
|
Fusibility
|
Fusibility is
defined as the ability of a metal to become
liquid by the application of heat. Metals are
fused in welding. Steels fuse at approximately
2,500?F, and aluminum alloys at approximately 1,
110 degrees F. |
|
Conductivity
|
Conductivity is the property that enables a
metal to carry heat or electricity. The heat
conductivity of a metal is especially important
in welding, because it governs the amount of
heat that will be required for proper fusion.
Conductivity of the metal, to a certain extent,
determines the type of jig to be used to control
expansion and contraction. Metals vary in their
capacity to conduct heat. Copper, for instance,
has a relatively high rate of heat conductivity
and is a good electrical conductor.
