Is iron or copper stronger?
Even in its pure form, iron is stronger than copper (although copper doesn't rust the way iron does) and iron is also used in making various kinds of steel which are much stronger than iron, and incomparably stronger than copper. Copper can also be used in alloys which are stronger than pure copper, such as brass and bronze, however, even the strongest copper alloy is much weaker than steel. Copper is much more electrically conductive than steel, and along with its greater flexibility and resistance to chemical corrosion, this makes it much better for wiring than iron or any iron alloy would be. So for each metal, there are particular uses. . Bronze (an alloy of mostly copper with up to 23% tin) is a much stronger metal than iron. This is why during the early iron age, the Roman foot soldiers were issued iron swords but their commanders had bronze swords.
Is iron a stronger reducing agent than copper?
Yes, iron is a stronger reducing agent than copper.
Which is worth more steel or copper?
Copper is much more expensive than most steel.
Will copper scratch stainless steel?
It shouldn't as stainless is harder than copper.
What are the uses for a copper hammer?
copper hammers are used on machinery/metal to apply force to parts with a reduced risk of damaging them and to avoid sparks. As copper is softer than steel, the mallet is deformed rather than any steel object it is hitting
Is copper same gauge stronger than steel?
no
Is the attraction between steel particles stronger than the attraction between copper particles?
yes
Why is iron heavier than copper?
Copper is more dense than iron, if that is what is being asked. The density of copper is about 8.94 grams per cubic centimeter. Iron had a density of about 7.874 grams per cubic centimeter.
Is a diamond stronger than steel?
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.

What is the difference between carbon steel and copper?
Carbon Steel is much stronger metal.
Is copper stronger than aluminum?
no its not copper is a lot more stronger than aluminum
Why is copper better conductor than steel?
Hmmm...copper "is" a metal. Are you looking for a comparison between pure copper and various alloys made with copper?
Is iron a stronger reducing agent than copper?
Yes, iron is a stronger reducing agent than copper.
Which is harder Aluminium or Titanium?
Bronze. Bronze is an alloy of copper an tin and it replaced copper as the primary metal for tools because the alloy is harder than either of its constituents. Aluminum is softer than copper.
Is fibreglass stronger than steel?
No fiberglass is not stronger than steel, the same way it can be the same way how u break glass but not that easy
