What else can I help you with?
Why steel bars are used for reinforcement of concrete instead of other metals?
strength versus cost of steel against otehr metals
What alloy is used in railwaytrack?
No Alloy is used. Mild Steel is the most common metal used for railway tracks due to its' relatively low cost and compatibility for generqal welding, workability and strength, compared to all other metals.
Why certain car parts are made out of cast iron?
Cost. Cast iron is relatively cheap compared to other metals.
Which 2 metals cost more than iron?
steel and silver. another is gold.
Can Other than zinc what metals are used to prevent rusting?
Some other metals commonly used to prevent rusting include stainless steel (which contains chromium), aluminum, and galvanized steel (which is coated with a layer of zinc). Copper and nickel can also be used for certain applications.
Why are alloys developed?
Alloys are "mixtures" of metals or non-metals in metals. They are developed to create new characteristics of the metals. Carbon (and other things) added to iron makes steel. Precise mixtures makes different sorts of steel alloy. Steel is stronger than iron and can have many characteristics which give superior properties for specific purposes. There is a virtual infinite number of alloys which could be made. Not all will have useful characteristics.
Why is silver not used in central heating radiators?
Silver is not commonly used in central heating radiators due to its high cost compared to other metals like aluminum, steel, and copper. These metals are more cost-effective and provide good thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer in radiators. Silver's high price makes it an impractical choice for mass-produced heating systems.
What are the key differences between an aluminum roof and a steel roof in terms of durability, cost, and maintenance?
An aluminum roof is generally more durable and resistant to corrosion compared to a steel roof. However, steel roofs are typically more cost-effective upfront. In terms of maintenance, aluminum roofs require less maintenance over time compared to steel roofs.
What are the benefits of using a stainless steel water heater compared to other materials?
Stainless steel water heaters are more durable, corrosion-resistant, and have a longer lifespan compared to water heaters made of other materials. They also provide better heat retention and are more energy-efficient, resulting in cost savings over time.
What are the advantages of a steel bike frame compared to other materials?
Steel bike frames offer several advantages compared to other materials. They are known for their durability, strength, and ability to absorb vibrations, providing a smooth and comfortable ride. Steel frames are also relatively easy to repair and can be more cost-effective than frames made from materials like carbon fiber. Additionally, steel frames have a classic aesthetic appeal that many cyclists appreciate.
Why are metals and alloys used in so many meterials?
Combination of strength, weight, durability, and cost that goes into make something. Steel is strong, but really heavy. Aluminium is light, but not very strong. Also, some metals make the alloy not rust. An example is Stainless Steel. Its a combination of Steel and Chrome. The Chrome makes the Stainless steel cost more. Its an Engineer's job to find the best alloy for the job.
Name three metals that are used as gold alloys and explain how each one affects the cost working quality and the colour?
iron metal and steel yeah baby steel
