What are 3 limitations of Ferrous Alloys?
Rusting, hardenability and strength all comparative to alloy
Why are alloys useful?
Alloys are useful (if this is what the question is getting at) because mixing elements of the periodic table alters their colligative properties.i.e. mixing two metals could change substance's melting point, allowing it to more easily resist high temperatures. Also, mixing metals can change the way they bind together, and create an altogether stronger material than you can find using any single metal alone.They can improve a metal's properties
What are three advantages of some alloys when compared to pure metals?
Alloys are sometimes more useful than pure metals because alloys are stronger - or tougher (toughness is resistance to fracture). Pure metals tend to be softer than alloys and therefore tend to get dented, scratched, or broken/fractured more easily. Alloys are often lower cost than pure metals but not necessarily so. As an example, stainless steel is more expensive than pure iron.
How does alloying help to reduce corrosion?
Corrosion is a chemical reaction that weakens a metal. It is a redox reaction, to be exact. By creating an alloy, new atoms (or different rations of atoms) are added in the metal being made, which changes the structure of the metal. This can form stronger bonds, which can be resistant to the redox corrosion reaction.Note: Alloys can be made that have a worse resistance to such reactions, but there is no market for them, so they are not sold.
What is foam resistance?
Foam resistance is a term that is commonly used in companies that create injection molds and fire resistant equipment. This term means that a product is able to resist damage or corrosion when it is in direct contact with chemicals or solvents.
What is the most common type of corrosion found on aluminum and magnesium alloys?
Pitting is the most common type of corrosion found on aluminum and magnesium alloys.
Why do we use metal as cooking tools?
Metals are hard, resistant to abrasion, resitant to high temperatures, they have a good thermal conductivity, many alloys resist to corrosion etc.
What is the natural phenomenon in which metal and alloys undergo oxydation?
Corrosion
What metals other than gold do not rust or corrode?
Titanium and platinium resist corrosion well. So does hafnium, tantulum, tungsten and a whole flock of the transition metals. Yes, a whole flock. There are at least a dozen of the metals that stand up to corrosion well. We don't hear about them all that often because they're so "exotic" in their scarcity and in their oft unseen applications. These are elemental metals. Whole families of alloys resist corrosion. The stainless steels are arguably the most widely used. Brass and bronze are fairly corrosion resistant, as exemplified by their marine applications. Zircaloy is used in the manufacture of reactor fuel elements. That stuff is tough. Metals suppliers have whole catalogs full of obscure alloys that are extremely corrosion resistant.
The evidence of corrosion on aluminum and its alloys is seen on the metal as?
a white powder
What is a chemical reaction that can break down metals and alloys?
Corrosion. :P
Can gold alloys resist moisture cant conduct electricity?
1. Gold alloys are resistant to moisture. 2. Gold alloys are good conductors of electricity.
Which substances resist corrosion?
them most common resistant is plastic!!
Why are guns nickel plated?
To make them pretty and to resist corrosion.
What the is the effects of corrosion?
Destruction of metallic (especially from iron or iron alloys) structures.
What is the purpose of plating out cultures?
Plating can be used for resist the rust & corrosion.
What metal resist corrosion?
gold is commonly used for this purpose
