How can you buy an alloy?
If it is one of the hundreds of standard alloys you can just buy it from a store that sells metal. If not it will be more complex as you will need to contract with a metal supplier to make it fore you.
What is the significance of the alloying?
An alloy is mixture combining two or more elements. The importance is that by alloying a metal, the properties can be enhanced. For example steel, which is an alloy of iron with carbon, is stronger than iron.
What metal is used in low melting alloys and magnets?
Several different metals can be used in magnets. Iron is perhaps the most common metal used in permanent magnets, but alloys such as Alnico (Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt) can also make very strong permanent magnets.
What shiny mirror-like metal is mixed with iron to make stainless steel?
Chrome is used with iron to create stainless steel alloys.
What do people do with titanium?
Titanium is used to make alloys. These alloys are used to make vehicle parts.
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.
What metal alloys are used for human branding?
alloys are a base metal with a little of a similar metal mixed into it to make them harder for everyday use and are used for structual purposes such as building
What are alloys in aluminium?
Aluminium alloys are alloys of aluminium, often with copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, or magnesum. A alloy is more than one metal combined to make a greater property
Lanthanides are often mixed with more common metals to make what?
Another metal.
What is definition of metallurgy?
It is the science of processing ores to extract and purify metal and make alloys..
What different alloys are there?
There are thousands upon thousands of different known metal alloys, each with their own particular set of properties that make them useful for practical applications.
What is used to make buildings and ships?
Steel, aluminum, titanium, and high strength metal alloys
Can coal be made into steel?
no because coal is not metal. you need metal to make metal or 2 different alloys of a metal such as iron. <><><> Coal is used in MAKING steel, but it is not MADE into steel.
What metal is mixed up with other metals brass and bronze?
iron and diffrent materials to make diffrent alloys
What metal in used in the Stryker or Zimmer knee replacements?
The metal parts of the implant are made of titanium- or cobalt/chromium-based alloys
What are objectives of alloy making?
To make a stronger metal than the pure elemental metal. To make corrosion resistant metal. To make specialty metals, such as wood's metal used for its low melting point in sprinkler systems, or Babbitt used as a bearing in some machinery.
How do you get metal?
Metal is actually a chemical element, so there is more than one way to make it, but alloys (two or more elements in a solid solution) are usually needed to make a metal hard enough for practical use.
