What are two disadvantages of using alloys instead of pure metals?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Alloys (mixtures of metals and other elements) have different properties form pure metals.
Two examples:
- An alloy of carbon & iron males steel which can be much harder than iron
- An alloy of copper and tin makes bronze which is harder and more corrosion resistant than either of the pure metals

Which material is using for fuse wire?
zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, alloys or metals that have low melting point
Name two alloys of copper?
The main alloys of copper are Brass (with zinc) and Bronze (with tin).
What are the advantages of using gold alloys?
Only 24K gold is pure. Everything else is part gold, part alloys. 14k Gold is 14 parts gold, 1o parts alloys. 18k is 18 parts gold, 6 parts alloys, to equal 24. 24k gold is not recommended for wearing, since it is very malleable.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using incineration to dispose of heavy metal?
The disadvantage is that you can't destroy heavy metals (or any metals or, indeed, any chemical elements) by incineration. So the most you can achieve by incineration is scattering heavy metals around with ash that is carried away with smoke.
Why are metals and alloys used in so many materials?
Metals and alloys are extremely useful materials. They tend to have strength, ductility, heat resistance and other properties. They also tend to be relatively easy to fabricate into engineering materials.

Disadvantages of using metals in construction?
Some metals are not strong enough to be able to hold tons of weight
Which material is using for fuse wire?
zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, alloys or metals that have low melting point
Which transition metal is man made?
Alloy metals are man-made using a mixture of other metals. Some alloys include: Brass, Bronze and Solder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alloys has a very large list of alloys to browse from if you want some more alloys...
What are the disadvantages of using the computer to read instead of the books?
Doesn’t work if the power is out
What is heavier ferrous or non ferrous metal?
Ferrous metals are metallic compounds (or alloys) that contain Iron. Iron is neither the most or least dense metal. So a compound (or alloy) made of the same component metals but with Gold instead of Iron would no longer be ferrous but would be heavier and one with the same components but using Aluminium would be lighter.
Advantages and disadvantages of using flow charts instead of text-based programming?
There are quite a few different advantages and disadvantages of using flow charts instead of text-based programming. One pro is that this is a visual aid that helps explain your ideas.
What element is used to make lightweight alloys?
Titanium is used in a lot of light weight alloys, as is iron, tin and copper.
What are some disadvantages of roman numerals?
Spend a day using only roman numerals instead of Arabic numerals. The disadvantages will become painfully obvious.
What is an advantage that alloys might have over many pure metals?
Alloys (mixtures of metals and other elements) have different properties form pure metals.Two examples:An alloy of carbon & iron males steel which can be much harder than ironAn alloy of copper and tin makes bronze which is harder and more corrosion resistant than either of the pure metals
What were the disadvantages to use sliver as a currency?
the disadvanteges of using silver is silver would not stay around longer but using the currency metals used in quarters will last longer
Name two alloys of copper?
The main alloys of copper are Brass (with zinc) and Bronze (with tin).
