The document discusses the effect of alloying additions on different types of steels and cast irons. It covers alpha and beta stabilizers in stainless steels, tool steels, HSLA steels, and maraging steels. It also discusses various types of cast iron including grey, white, malleable, and spheroidal cast iron alloys. Additional metal alloys covered include copper and copper alloys, aluminum and aluminum-copper alloys, magnesium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, and titanium alloys. The document also provides questions related to stainless steels, tool steels, and their properties and applications.
