Learning Objectives:
By the end of the lesson I can:
The properties of pig iron and how this limits its usefulness.
Pig iron is the intermediate product of smelting iron ore with
coke. Pig iron has a very high carbon content, typically 3.5
4.5%, which makes it very brittle and not useful directly as a
material except for limited applications.
That iron can be alloyed to make it more useful.
Explain how the properties of alloys (but not smart alloys)
are related to models of their structures.

OVERVIEW - Steel
Steels are alloys, since they are mixtures of
iron with carbon and other metals. The
different sized atoms distort the layers in
the structure of the pure metal, making it
more difficult for them to slide over each
other, and so alloys are harder. Alloys can
be designed to have properties for specific
uses. Low carbon steels are easily shaped,
high carbon steels are hard, and stainless
steels are resistant to corrosion.

Steel is a mixture
All steels contain cobalt (Co)
Stainless steels are expensive
Stainless steels rust because
they contain iron
