What is the difference between Aluminium alloy and steel?

Answer 1

If the steel contains by weight one or more of the following elements in the proportion shown, it is an alloy steel. 0.3 % or more of aluminium 0.0008 % or more of boron 0.3 % or more of cobalt 0.4 % or more of copper 0.4 % or more of lead 1.65 % or more of manganese 0.08 % or more of molybdenum 0.3% or more of nickel 0.06 % or more of niobium 0.6 % or more of silicon 0.05% or more of titanium 0.3 % or more of tungsten (wolfram) 0.05 % or more of zirconium 0.1 % or more of other elements (except sulphur, phosphorus, carbon and nitrogen), taken separately. Any steel not containing one or more of the above elements in the weight proportions shown, is a non-alloy steel.

Answer 2

Aluminum welding is very difficult because you have to be careful not to burn through the metal. The temperature at which aluminum melts is lower than steel. Steel is what I would suggest beginning welders use for safety and so they can easily learn the ropes of welding.

Answer 3

Ferrous metals are iron and steel groups. Of aluminum, nonferrous metals and light. Ironand steel and aluminum are much more resistant to stress. Aluminum, steel and iron ismuch more resistant to oxidizing. Weight of steel and iron is heavier than aluminum. What isthe melting of steel, iron to 1400 degrees Celsius. Melting temperature of aluminum is 658 ° C.

Answer 4

In what respect? They are completely different, steel being based on iron and aluminum alloys being based on aluminum.

Answer 5

• aluminimum is not magnetic and steel is.

• Aluminimum is lighter than steel

• and aluminimum is harder to weld than steel

Answer 6

Stainless steel is steel (iron, carbon, and usually manganese) with the addition of at least 11% chromium. Aluminum is aluminum, period.
