Best Answer

Alloys are so strong because they will take properties from both metals, such as when you alloy Titanium and Aluminium. Aluminium will get stronger because the forces that titanium once used to attract each other is now used to attract the aluminium

Are Metallic solids called alloys are made of one extremely pure element?

Yes... Alloys are combinations of metals and another compound. Some alloys can be made from the mixing of two metals such as copper (Cu) and iron (Fe). Other alloys are made by mixing a metal with a non-metal element. An example of that type of alloy is the extremely strong carbon-steel used in many products. Alloys are defined as homogeneous mixtures.


Why is the frame on a bike made out of alloy and not pure aluminium?

Aluminium alloys are stronger than pure aluminium, which is comparatively soft. Pure aluminium is also considered chemically reactive (thus the layer of aluminium oxide which coats the metal due to oxidation). Pure aluminium hardly exists due to its strong affinity with oxygen in air. In fact, aluminium foils and beverage cans are also alloys of aluminium, with about 92 to 99% of aluminium. So likewise, bike frames are also made of alhminium alloys because of its characteristics of being strong and lightweight.


What is cast alloys?

Cast alloys are alloys that are cast in a cast.


What are the advantages of using gold alloys?

Only 24K gold is pure. Everything else is part gold, part alloys. 14k Gold is 14 parts gold, 1o parts alloys. 18k is 18 parts gold, 6 parts alloys, to equal 24. 24k gold is not recommended for wearing, since it is very malleable.

What is the hardest medal on earth?

Osmium is the densest metal, and it is very strong and also very heavy. But is mostly used in alloys to increase strength, no pure metal is harder than the strongest of alloys.

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.
