Which is better Steel or aluminum dive tanks?
Steel has been used as a tank material since the begining of scuba diving. Extremely durable and useful as a tank material but steel rusts. Buy a steel tank, assume that over the life of the tank it will cost you for a few tank tumbles to remove interior rust. Pay more for a steel tank than an aluminum one. Steel will last (almost) forever if you take care of it. There are steel tanks still in service today that were originally manufactured in the 50s. Aluminium tanks came out in the 70s. It's a softer material, the walls of aluminum tanks are thicker, making them a little larger than steel tanks of the same capacity. The big advantage of aluminum is that it doesn't rust and it's less-expensive than steel. You can find aluminum tanks cheap, for $100-150.
Is it best to make cars from Aluminum or Steel?
I would suggest that Aluminum is preferable. It is lighter than steel, which can result in a higher performance vehicle (faster acceleration, better braking, improved fuel economy). Furthermore, unlike steel, aluminum will not rust. Aluminum is also easier to recycle. Aluminum cars have a stiffer feel- giving them a sportier feel, and absorb impact about 1.5 times as well as steel, making them safer. The downside, of course, is the high cost of aluminum compared to steel.
How aluminum high pressure cylinders are more suitable for filling medical oxygen than mild steel cylinders?
Both aluminum and steel are good materials for medical oxygen cylinders. Each material has unique advantages and disadvantages. The characteristics of aluminum cylinders are: 1. lighter weight than mild steel (although high strength steel is of equivalent weight). 2. does not rust 3. does not require re-painting 4. is less impact resistant than steel 5. has a shorter service life 6. lower resistance to heat, eg. looses it's temper (strength) at a lower temperature than steel Steel cylinders are: a. generally heavier than aluminum b. more resistant to impact c. higher resistance to heat before loosing strength d. requires repainting to inhibit rust e. has a longer service life
