Is alloy soft?
The hardness of alloys is very different; alloys have generally a hardness higher than the pure metal.
Which element behaves chemically as both metal and non- metal?
Boron
What happens when heated metal is suddenly immersed in water?
The metal increases in hardness, a mechanical property. The process which transforms the metal hardness is called "quenching".
Why are many metals used as alloys?
alloys are probably cheaper to make and stonger then an element or a simple metal. Alloys are easier to make. It is difficult to find a simple metal.
Is Alloys homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Copper is not an alloy. It is a pure metal element.
What is the light gray metal element that is used in alloys to reinforce other metals?
The element that is used in alloys to reinforce them is called Magnesium. It is a light gray metal and is very strong, hard, and very elastic.
Does increase in hardness of a metal increases its weight?
metal is compressed by adding more, thus weight increase
Is metal a element?
Metals are a class of elements. A pure metal is an element. Some metals are alloys, which mean they have more than one metal or element in them. The metal bronze is made of two elements, the metal tin and the metal copper.
What is a metal with more than 1 metallic element called?
These are called alloys. Some alloys have a specific name such as steel.
Non-metal found in iron alloys?
The non metal is Carbon (C), the fifth element of the periodic table.
How do you identify if a metal is an Alloy or a Element on the periodic table?
It is the periodic table of elements. There are no alloys in it.
Why does manufacturing alloys make a more beneficial metal?
Alloys have improved mechanical properties, hardness, resistance to corrosion, resistance to heating, stable crystalline structure etc. compared with pure metals.
