Properties and Uses of Metals in Engineering

Iron

Iron has high thermal and electrical conductivity and is a special magnetic element. It exhibits great malleability and ductility, with a fusion temperature of 1537ºC. However, it is vulnerable to oxidation.

Aluminum

Aluminum is soft and has low mechanical strength. Its fusion temperature is relatively low, between 650ºC and 750ºC. Aluminum is frequently used in light alloys to achieve the minimum weight possible with acceptable mechanical strength. It is combined with magnesium and titanium

Electrical Components: Types and Functions

Generators

Generators are operators capable of transforming various forms of energy into the electrical energy required to operate different types of automatic and electronic devices.

Batteries

A battery supplies electrical energy through the conversion of chemical energy stored in a substance that leads to the interior.

Ohmic Resistance

Ohmic resistances are electronic components that offer a certain opposition to the flow of electrical current, producing a “fall” of tension between its extremes, called
