Is an electroplated metal more conductive?
Not necessarily. The conductivity depends on what metal it is and how pure it is.
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.
How many metallic elements does a pure metal contain?
A pure metal is just that; that metal, thus pure metals contain just one metal. For example aluminium foil contains just aluminium atoms. Alloys are one or more metals/elements that make up the metal, e.g C and Fe in steel.
what metal is a pure element brass copper steel or bronze?
cooper is a pure metal
What metal is used for making statues?
Statues and other monumental art can be made from many metals. These include:Bronze (alloy)Brass (alloy)Pewter (alloy)Cast iron (pure metal)Aluminum (pure metal)Stainless steel (alloy)Gold (pure metal)Silver (pure metal)
Which is more stable pure metal or its ore?
It will depend on the specific metal. Many metals will tarnish or corrode in its pure form, but in the ore will remain stable.
Can a 100 percent pure metal get corrod?
yes, a 100 percent pure metal can get corroded. corrosion is a surface phenomena. pure metals are likely to get corroded than the metals with some impurity. for example, aluminum in its purest form (say 100 %) gets corroded easily but when aluminum is exposed to air it forms a thin layer of alumina which in turn prevents the inner layers to get corroded (now purity of aluminum has decreased, say 95%). hence corrosion has got its useful side too!
Why was gold discovered earlier than iron?
- gold has a very specific and beautiful color, easily to identify - gold is not corroded - gold is a mineral as a pure metal
Which pure metal has more restivity?
silver

Iron is a pure metal or alloy?
Iron is a pure metal.
In what way is an alloy better than a metal in pure form?
An alloy is better than a metal in pure form in the way that an alloy contains some extra materials possessing some different properties which would prevent it from getting corroded easily and thus increase its life span for using purposes.
Is alloy or a pure metal?
pure metal
What is the similar between pure metals and alloys?
A pure metal contains only one metal while an alloy is a mixture of two or more metals.

Why Are stop signs are octagon shaped?
Getting more out of the metal. Pure economics.
