What else can I help you with?
What were cars made of in the olden days?
Steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, wood, copper and no plastic!
What are wheels made out of these days?
Car wheels are made of pressed steel or molded aluminum-magnesium alloy. Most other land vehicles use steel wheels of some sort.
Why are aluminum can recycled more often than steel cans?
Aluminum is easier and cheaper to mass produce than is steel. If you recycle aluminum, you get more money for aluminum than for steel only because manufacturers have for decades focused on aluminum as the cheaper way to manufacture so many things. Aluminum is lighter in weight; is more easily bent into desired shapes; can be easily separated from other metals (chemical process); and is easily shipped to manufacturing plants. As one example, in the earlier days, airplanes contained steel and were heavier, cost more in fuel, etc. Now, all airplanes are made of aluminum shells, are lighter in weight, use less fuel because it is lighter in weight, and all of the aluminum can be recycled. Same with automobiles.
Is aluminium is a lightest metal?
Aluminum is a metal for one thing, but yes, the density of aluminum is far less than lets say, Steel.
How can I tell what type of BMX bike frames I have?
Generally speaking aluminum frames have larger diameter tubes than steel or titanium bikes, but the most obvious is to test with a magnet. If it sticks it's a steel frame. If it doesn't it's probably aluminum. Titanium frames are still so rare that you are very unlikely to buy one w/o knowing.
How long does it take for acid to rust metal?
It takes about 4-5 days. Iron rusts because it meets with oxygen ,It rusts faster in water than in acid because water has more oxygen. You can do the test: just put steel wool in a jar of water and in a jar of vinegar (be sure to label and close the lid) then observe the next day and again and again after that
Why do people use aluminum for kettles?
Because it's relatively cheap, and light. Most electric kettles these days are however, made from plastic or stainless steel as they last longer (aluminium is attacked by the salt in many water supplies). Aluminium has also been implicated in Alzheimer's Disease which is why stainless steel is much more common in cookware these days.
What will happen if aluminum particles are released into the air?
Aluminum particles can stay airborne for several days when released into air
Aluminum vs. Steel Livestock Trailers?
Livestock trailers are a common sight on most of America’s highways. They are generally used to haul horses or cattle and range in size from small (10 – 12 feet long) to very large (40 feet long). Traditionally, livestock trailers have been made of steel. However, aluminum trailers are becoming increasingly common. As more trailer manufacturers offer aluminum products, a frequent question is: Which is the better material for a livestock trailer? As with most other comparisons, there are advantages and disadvantages to both materials. Steel trailers are sturdy, but heavy. That heaviness works both as an advantage and a disadvantage. One advantage is that a relatively heavy trailer is more resistant to damage on impact in the case of an accident or the potential damage from many stamping hooves. The disadvantage of weight is that bigger vehicles are needed to pull steel trailers than would be needed with aluminum. When talking about an average 20 foot trailer, it might be the difference between using a three-quarter ton pick- up versus a one-ton or greater vehicle. Also, unless meticulously maintained, steel trailers will rust. Aluminum trailers are far lighter than steel. Most of these types of trailers do have steel frames, but the substitution of aluminum for steel for interior and exterior panels greatly reduces the overall weight of the trailer. Because less weight is being hauled, it costs less to pull an aluminum trailer. Aluminum doesn’t rust, but riveted joints are not as flexible as steel. If the primary use requires going into a pasture to load livestock, the aluminum trailer is more likely to pop rivets or crack than a steel trailer. Initial purchase price of a livestock trailer is usually a very important consideration. On average, a new aluminum trailer may cost twice as much as a new steel trailer. While this fact might indicate that steel would be the better choice, it depends on the trailer’s intended use. For someone hauling cattle or horses many highway miles several days a week, the initial higher investment for an aluminum trailer might be offset by the savings in gas economy and choice of hauling vehicle. In the end, the answer to the question “Which is better?” depends on intended use and, of course, budget.
How long dose it take for something to rust?
It depends on a variety of factors. It depends on the size and shape of the iron (how much surface area it has), if the iron is an alloy such as steel, or pure iron metal, if the iron is coated or treated with anything. It also depends a great deal on the environment the iron is in. Is the iron in contact with water or water moisture? Is the iron in contact with salt water? Is the iron in contact with oxygen from air? At what temperature is the iron?Some guidelines:-- the larger the exposed surface area, the faster it will rust (iron powder will rust much faster than a solid block of iron-- most iron alloys, such as steel, resist rusting more than pure iron does-- painting or other treatments to the iron surface will prevent rusting to a large extent-- exposure to the combination of salt (from the ocean or due to salting of icy roads) will greatly increase the rate of rusting-- if the iron is not in contact with any oxygen, it cannot rust at all-- the hotter the temperature, the faster it will rustWithout knowing each of these aspects, it is impossible to predict how fast something will rust (and even if you know them, it is still difficult!).See the Related Questions to the left for more information about the factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions.
