Chapter 14, Problem 14.22P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for which wrought alloys contain less amount of lead needs to be explained. The precautions in heating a leaded wrought alloy needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Wrought iron is an iron alloy containing less carbon content compared to cast iron. It is tough, ductile, corrosion resistance, malleable,and can be welded easily. It lacks the carbon content that is essential for hardening purposes. They can be corrosion resistance through inside and outside as well compared to other iron alloys. Previously an amount of wrought iron was converted into the steel which was actualy used to make equipment like swords, cutlery,axes, chisels, and other edged tools.
