Raw materials
Metals
Iron is a basic raw material obtained from natural ores. It is processed and refined to produce steel, which is stronger and more durable. Steel has high tensile strength and is widely used in engineering applications. It plays an important role in manufacturing industries. Machine parts are commonly produced using steel due to its strength.
1. Iron
2. Steel
3. Copperl
4. Aluminum
Used for: pipes, containers, electrical parts
Plastics
Plastic pellets are small granules used as raw material in manufacturing. These pellets are melted and shaped through molding processes. This method allows easy and large-scale production of products. Plastics are lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective. Bottles are one of the most common products made from plastic materials.
1. PVC
2. Polyethylene
3. Nylon
Used for: pipes, containers, electrical parts
Wood
Wood is a natural raw material obtained from trees. It is cut and processed into different shapes and sizes. Wood is easy to handle and widely available in nature. It is commonly used in construction and interior works. Furniture like tables and chairs are made from processed wood.
1. Timber
2. Plywood
Used for: furniture, construction, patterns
Ceramics & Glass
Ceramics and glass are made from natural raw materials like clay and silica (sand). These materials are shaped and then heated at high temperatures. This process gives them hardness and heat resistance. They are widely used in construction and electrical applications. Tiles, glass sheets, and insulators are common products made from them.
1. Clay
2. Silica (sand)
Used for: tiles, insulators, glass items
Rubber
Rubber is obtained either naturally from latex or produced synthetically. It is processed and molded into different shapes based on requirements. Rubber is flexible, durable, and resistant to wear. It is widely used in automotive and industrial applications. Tyres, seals, and gaskets are commonly made from rubber.
1. Natural rubber
2. Synthetic rubber
Used for: tyres, seals, gaskets
