bronze is made from copper and tin at what amount i do not know, and pig iron is a type of iron that is like steel but does not contain as much carbon in it and pig iron is usually used to make cast iron as well. i am trying to sound as humble as possible so i do not sound as smart as i think i am

What do you call metals that contain iron?
steel, pig iron and stainless steel and also cast iron
2 examples of alloys?
AlloysSteel contains iron , carbon and othersBrass is an alloy of copper and zincBronze is combination of copper and tinfurther these are notifide base on the high percentage of elements found in the base metals. They broadly categorized as carbon steels, nickel chrome steels etc, the Aluminum alloys, copper alloys with various compositions.An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Some familiar examples of alloys include brass, bronze, pewter, cast and wrought iron, steel, coin metal. Alloys are usually synthetic materials, developed by scientists for special purposes. They generally have specially desirable properties quite different from the metals from which they are made. As an example, Wood's metal is a mixture of about 50 percent bismuth, 10 percent cadmium, 13 percent tin, and 27 percent lead that melts at 70°C (160°F). Some common alloys and what we use them for Alloy Components Brass Copper (65-90%), zinc (10-35%). Bronze Copper (78-95%), tin (5-22%), plus manganese, phosphorus, aluminum, or silicon. Cast iron Iron (96-98%), carbon (2-4%), plus silicon. Cupro-nickel (copper nickel) Copper (75%), nickel (25%), plus small amounts of manganese.
Where does pig iron comes from?
Where does Pig Iron come from? Pig iron is the intermediate product of smelting iron ore with coke, usually with limestone as a flux. Pig iron has a very high carbon content, typically 3.5-4.5%,[1] which makes it very brittle and not useful directly as a material except for limited applications.
Types of alloys?
brass, steel and bronze are the most common alloys. they are made of: brass: 35% zinc and 65% copper - uses, musical instruments steel: 99% iron and 1% carbon - uses, tools, car bodies etc bronze: 87.5% copper and 12.5% tin - uses, boat hardware and screws etc some not so common alloys are alnico (aluminium and nickel and cobalt - used to make magnets) and stainless steel (18% chromium, 80.6% iron, 1% nickel and 0.4% carbon - used to make surgical tools and tableware and cookware.)
What are examples of alloys?
An alloy is a partial or solid solution of one or more elements in a metallic atom lattice, can be single phase or multiphase depending on if its completely solved or not. Examples of different alloys: Steel: iron + carbon High speed steel (HSS), contains: carbon, Chrome, Molybdenum, Tungsten, Vanadium, Cobalt, Manganese and Silicon Pig iron: approx 3.5-4.5 weight % carbon. Produced by 'smelting' iron ore with coke and using a flux (usually limestone) Cast iron: iron, carbon (2.1-4%) and silicon Brass: Alloy of copper and zink Stainless steel: >12 weight % Chrome (Cr)
What are the chemical properties of bronze?
the chemical properties of bronze are pig and feet
Where did the phrase pig iron come from?
Pig iron was originally used in neo-bronze age in the production of tools and weapons. It involved the smelting of iron ore with the hypolectatic acid found in pig hooves. The mixture increased the malleability of the iron but was to some degree a poisoned chalice, as it increased the rate of oxidisation of the metal and ultimately weakened it, rendering it worthless. The phrase "to do something for pig iron" emerged at the beginning of the industrial revolution in Britain and means that one does something despite knowing that the end result of the action is destined to be pointless.
Which is purer wrought or pig iron?
Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."
What are some example's of metal?
Ferrous metals are metals with a trace of iron in them. Some examples of ferrous metals would be steel, pig iron and other alloys, for example stainless steel. Ferrous metals are known for their magnetic properties.
Is iron ore homogeneous or homogeneous?
Pure iron in elemental state is homogeneous. Iron Ore is heterogeneous. Iron - as in cast iron, wrought iron or even pig iron, has impurities deliberately added to improve properties. These alloys are mainly homogeneous but do have domains of heterogeneity which give the material the improved properties.
What are three raw materials to make pig iron?
iron core , coke and limestone are needed to make pig iron
How do you make pig iron?
Pig iron is crude iron as first obtained from a smelting furnace, in the form of oblong blocks.
