MACH10
Module 10: Metal Characteristics (Core)
Outcome
Examine the characteristics of metals used in machining.
Indicators
(a) Explore different classifications of metals (e.g., ferrous, nonferrous, plain carbon steel, alloy steel).
(b) Discuss mechanical properties of metals (e.g., hardness, toughness, ductility, colouration and resistance to corrosion).
(c) Demonstrate safe practices when working with metals.
(d) Analyze characteristics of specific metals using non-destructive and destructive testing.
(e) Identify typical uses of different types of metals.
(f) Research material costs for a given project.
(g) Describe the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) material classification system (e.g., 1018, 4140 and stainless 316).
