What is the best area of the periodic table to look for a metal that could be used to coat another metal to protect it from corrosion?
Zinc Oxide can be used to protect iron hulls from rusting.
How is the density of a steel ball different from a steel ship?
Density = mass/volume let us say the mass of the steel ball and the ship are same. but the steel ball is fully enclosed, a tight spherical volume, where as the ship is a hollow, occupies more volume (multiple times) as that of the spherical ball. Considering the first equation, u know well the density of steel ball is much higher than the steel ship.
What element sacrifices itself to protect steel?
think its carbon or gold
Why can ships with iron hulls sometimes cause a compass to become unreliable?
I never heard of this problem before, but presumably, the iron might become magnetized. However, I don't know what would magnetize such a ship.
How is steel coated with black oxide like on gun barrels to protect them from rust?
It is a form of controlled rust. In hot bluing, the steel parts are placed in a hot chemical bath that changes the outer layer of steel to black iron oxide. This helps protect the steel beneath it from further rusting. In rust bluing, the steel is exposed to moist air, and allowed to rust under controlled conditions.
Which metal is used to coat the outside of ship hulls?
Steel.
For what is David W. Taylor known?
He established a model basin where he experimented on the hydrodynamics of ship hulls.
Is there a game for PS3 or PC that you can command a ship and have ship v ship battles and be able to add weaponry to the ship and get better hulls and stuff?
No
What were dreadnoughts made from?
The hulls of these great ships were iron, armored with steel.
What were ww2 tanks made of?
The tank hulls were made of steel, the hardest steel the manufacturing nation was capable of producing.
What material are boat hulls made of?
Boat hulls are currently usually made of fiber glass. Fiber glass is the cheapest, most effective material. Boat hulls can also be made of wood, carbon fiber, and steel.
What is a submarine built out of?
Most submarine hulls are built of steel. Recall that a submarine is not usually considered one of the little robotic undersea machines, or a manned vessel that is operated off a support vessel. We usually reserve the term for the military submarines (boats) that put to sea for extended periods of independent operation. The Russians built a few hulls from titanium, but these boats were horrendously expensive and in so many ways were not cost effective. The lion's share of modern military boats are steel hulls with steel decks (on special supports) and filled with tons of equipment built largely of steel or other metal alloys. The modern nuclear submarines include the reactor, which has a steel pressure vessel and steel plumbing pretty much throughout the ship.

A steel nail but a steel ship floats how can that be?
The steel ship has a lot of air inside. The nail is solid steel.
What is a boat with two hulls side by side is called?
a 2 hull boat
What would happen if a steel ship were not hollow?
The steel ship would sink.
What are the advantages for ice breakers in Antarctica?
Ice breakers that complete tasks in areas of the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica, sail with reinforced hulls, to protect the ship from damage from free-floating ice in the sea. Ships with non-reinforced hulls generally cannot sail successful in ice-filled sea waters without sustaining catastrophic damage.
