Metallurgy 1.Metallurgy
(治金学) is the art and science of making metals and alloys (合金) in forms and with
properties suitable for practical use. The art of metallurgy includes the
deriving of metals from their ores, or the condition in which they are found in
nature; their purification (提纯) or their admixture with other metals, and
finally their manufacture into shapes and forms usable in industry. The science
of metallurgy includes the study of these processes with a view to (以便) their
control and improvement, and the development of new metal mixtures or alloys and
of new test methods. 2.Because of this wide scope the field of metallurgy may
be divided into two parts. The first part deals with the melting (熔化) and
refining (精炼) of metals, and has been designated as process of Chemical
Metallurgy. The second deals with the physical and chemical behavior of the
metals during shaping and treating operations, and their behavior in the service
of man. This phase is termed Physical Metallurgy. 3.The scope of Physical
Metallurgy is wide and is of interest to more people than the field of Process
Metallurgy. For example, only a few individuals will be engaged in the operation
of a melting and refining furnace, whereas a hundred men will be employed in the
rolling (轧制) or forging (锻造) of the metals produced, and thousands of
individuals will work at manufacturing the rolled or forged metal into
automobiles, bridges, ships, airplanes, buildings, wire goods, tools, and a
multitude of useful articles. 4.Everyone comes in contact with metals through
his many everyday uses; therefore the term metal is well known. Not everyone
realizes, however, why metals have come to play so large a part in man’s
activities. Wood and stone are both older in use, yet to a considerable extent
they have been substituted by the metals. The reason for the increased use of
metals is to be found in their characteristic properties. 5.Most important of
these properties is their strength (强度), or ability to support weight without
bending or breaking, combined with toughness (韧性), or the ability to bend rather
than break under a sudden blow. Resistance to atmospheric destruction,
plasticity (弹性) ,and the ability to be formed into desired shapes add to the
remarkeable combination of properties possessed by no other class of materials.
Some metals also have special additional properties, two of which are the power
to conduct electric current and the ability to be magnetized. The art of metallurgy consists of ______.
A strength, toughness, plasticity, conductivity and so on
B shaping and treating operations
C depriving, purification, admixture and manufacture
D the ability to bend rather than break under a sudden blow
E chemical metallurgy and physical metallurgy
F melting and refining furnace
