∙ 14y agoalloying is a term which describes a material which, when introduced to another material will change its characteristics to make them advantageous to us. they are split into 2 categories, "Matrix's" and "reinforcement agent". For example with carbon fibre the matrix is the carbon and the reinforcement agent is a resin.
===========================================
alloying is the processing of mix two or more kinds of metals together (at least one kind of metal needed) to get better characteristics than sole metal. Moreover, the resin is not alloying, and the carbon and reinforcement agent is not alloy also. The best example of alloy, you can find on aluminum. The pure aluminum is soft and easy to hurt, but the aluminum alloy such as aluminum silicon alloy is very hard as the aluminum alloy frame of the window. In these days the alloying technology is developing faster and faster. Difference kinds of alloys appears everyday, and the processing is also developing fastly, such as the semi solid casting technology.

How is chromium important to ordinary steel?
chromium added to regular steal form stainless steel.
Is steel a pure metal or an alloy?
No. An alloy is an intimate mixture of 2 or more metals. Steels are actually regarded as being of 2 basic types - carbon and alloy. Carbon is an alloying element in carbon steels; there are other examples, such as: oxygen is regarded as an alloying element in zircaloy, silicon is an alloying element in aluminum and ferro-silicon, phosphorus in some types of bronze, etc. (not important if it is a metal or a non- metal).
The primary metallic element that's added to steel to make stainless steel is?
A steel is considered to be stainless if it contains a minimal of 13% chromium.
What makes the color of a rose gold ring different from a traditional gold ring?
Colored gold, like rose gold is created by alloying gold with other elements. For rose gold, copper is generally used as the other element. Sometimes zinc is also added to the alloy.
What is physical metallurgy?
It is the study of the physical properties of metals, such heat and electrical conduction; alloying different metals together.
Is iron used for making steel?
yes. steel is an alloy in which major alloying element are iron and carbon along with other minor alloying element such as zinc, chromium etc .
Is a foil a element?
It is quite pure but does have traces of alloying metal in
How is chromium used commercially?
It is THE key alloying element of stainless steel.
Is chromium an element or an alloy?
It is the 24th element. The confusion arises because it is the key alloying element added to steel to make it stainless.
What was arsenic used for in the 1600s?
- alloying element for bronze - poison used by murderers
Is carbon an alloyed steel?
No. An alloy is an intimate mixture of 2 or more metals. Steels are actually regarded as being of 2 basic types - carbon and alloy. Carbon is an alloying element in carbon steels; there are other examples, such as: oxygen is regarded as an alloying element in zircaloy, silicon is an alloying element in aluminum and ferro-silicon, phosphorus in some types of bronze, etc. (not important if it is a metal or a non- metal).
Is stainless steel a nonalloy steel?
Stainless steel is an Alloy steel because it contains chromium as an alloying element - steels without alloying elements are called carbon steels.
What does maganese make?
Manganese is a key alloying element in many types of steel and stainless steels.
Is manganese metallic or non metallic?
Manganese is a metal. It is also used as an alloying element in steel.
Which best describes stainless steel mixture or element or ore or mineral?
Stainless steel mixture, element, ore or mineral is an ally of iron and carbon. The carbon is the primary alloying element.
What element is an alloying agent in steel and active ingredient in poision ivy lotion?
I had this same question and apparently "zirconium" fits.
What are the typical uses of lead?
Lead uses:- alloying element- material for pipes- ballast- radiation shielding- bullets- batteries- electrodesetc.
