What is the use of an iron nail?
Most nails today are made of steel. Steel is mostly made out of iron but has some carbon and other materials added to enhance strength and resist rust.
Is steel alloy a element or compound?
mixture
Why are alloys developed?
Alloys are "mixtures" of metals or non-metals in metals. They are developed to create new characteristics of the metals. Carbon (and other things) added to iron makes steel. Precise mixtures makes different sorts of steel alloy. Steel is stronger than iron and can have many characteristics which give superior properties for specific purposes. There is a virtual infinite number of alloys which could be made. Not all will have useful characteristics.
What is expensive alloy or aluminum?
alloys because they are a combination of metals for example steel is acombination of iron and other metals
Is stainless steel man made?
Naturally occurring (it is an element), the metal occurs naturally in its pure, free form (native silver), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.
What is the ideal material for beam bridge construction?
cocret and woods. also various metals of stanless steel.
Why are other metals added to make stainless steel?
To make it last for a long time
how you get steel?
Steel is just a form of iron that is refined differently to iron in a blast furnace, as it is allowed to have a small amount of carbon and other alloying metals. However other forms of steel such as weathering steel and stainless steel have other metals (chromium, magnesium etc.) added to them to give them the properties that they require for their particular purpose.
A value for a smith Wesson 357 revolver that is stanless steel?
1-400 USD.
Why are different metals sometimes added to molten carbon steel?
Pure iron is too soft for many uses. Different metals are added in order to strengthen the steel and make it harder.
What do scientist add to steel to prevent rust?
Steel is an iron alloy. When the alloy contains chromium and phosphorous it doesnot rust. Other metals may be added for improved strength and heat resistance.
Is steel man made or a natural resource?
Steel could be a man-made material, a natural material is one which nothing has been added to it to make it react/ behave differently. steel could be natural if its just steel that has had the carbon in it reduced to make it purer. but most often steel has had various other metals added like chromium. (stainless steel)
What are example of ferrous metals?
iron, steel and other metals that contain iron
Why steel bars are used for reinforcement of concrete instead of other metals?
strength versus cost of steel against otehr metals
What is the use of an iron nail?
Most nails today are made of steel. Steel is mostly made out of iron but has some carbon and other materials added to enhance strength and resist rust.
What makes steel stain less?
The addition of other metals makes steel stainless.
What are the metals in steel?
Steel is made of iron to which is added between 0,02 % and 1.67 % of carbon.If you go over 2% of carbon, you'll get cast iron instead of steel.
