Why does the UK government want to encourage recycling of iron and steel?

Simply because - the raw materials are NOT an endless supply. It costs money to import the raw materials from abroad. Additionally, it takes less energy to recycle existing stocks of waste metal - than create new metal from their base materials. Recycling, therefore, saves money and resources.


Is steel better than iron?

It depends on what you want to use it for. On the Moh's scale, steel is somewhere between 4 and 4.5, whereas iron is between 6 and 7. In swords, both iron and steel kinds have appeared, but steel is slightly better than iron due to its strength-to-weight ratio and its flexibility. Keep in mind, steel--unlike iron--is made of different metals to improve its strength. For piping, steel would be better (but not the first choice among other materials to use). Steel is also more resistant to rust, than iron, and the weldability of steel is better than iron.


What metal is used for an artillery round?

Iron, Steel? Why would you want to know that for!?


How much price for 1 kg steel in India?

120/kgThe price of structural steel is 65000 Rupees per metric ton , which amounts to 65 ruppees per kg. I have not taken into account the cost of transportation etc.RE: I want to know the 65000 Rs per metric ton including the processing fee or not? Thanks


Is iron and coal used to make steel?

Yes, they are melted together in a furnace to produce steel.


When iron is mixed with carbon is it called zinc?

Iron carbon mixed steel for you information and if you want to prove it you could just read a 5th grade Science book.


What is iron used for and why?

Iron compounds are used as a food nutritional supplement. Iron is rarely used for any other purpose than manufacturing various types of steel, by adding carbon, or by adding other metals. This is because almost any type of steel is superior to iron in almost any category you want to mention except malleability; if you want to create horseshoes in a hand forge, then you probably want iron. Pure iron hasn't been in widespread use for over 100 years. The metal used in buildings and machinery is steel of one sort or another.


Is steel a rock or mineral?

There's a fundamental problem with the question. Iron is not a "mineral" in the usual sense of the word. Elemental iron is too reactive to be found in nature as a mineral. Leaving that aside... Steel is not "iron". It's mostly iron, with a small admixture of other stuff. So it's not the same as elemental iron, but it's pretty close.


What other metal that will rust except iron and steel?

Any metal that is an element, like copper, iron, manganese, etc will rust (or oxidize, if you want to get technical).


Why is an electromagnet only suitable for removing iron or steel splinters?

An electromagnet, or any magnet, only attracts certain metals like iron. (Steel is a kind of iron.) If you want to remove, for example, aluminum splinters, you must use another process because aluminum is not attracted to a magnet.


Is recycling is nonrenewable resource?

No because recycling is want you can use it again , nonrenewable is want it can not be used again


What is ms steel explain briefaly?

Well, MS stands for Mild Steel. It can also be denoted as Fe-250. In structural terms MS has a fy= 250 N/mm2.Some Mild Steel properties and uses are as listed below:Mild steel has a maximum limit of 0.2% carbon. The proportions of manganese (1.65%), copper (0.6%) and silicon (0.6%) are approximately fixed, while the proportions of cobalt, chromium, niobium, molybdenum, titanium, nickel, tungsten, vanadium and zirconium are not.A higher amount of carbon makes steels different from low carbon mild-type steels. A greater amount of carbon makes steel stronger, harder and very slightly stiffer than a low carbon steel. However, the strength and hardness comes at the price of a decrease in the ductility of this alloy. Carbon atoms get trapped in the interstitial sites of the iron lattice and make it stronger.What is known as mildest grade of carbon steel or 'mild steel' is typically low carbon steel with a comparatively low amount of carbon (0.16% to 0.2%). It has ferromagnetic properties, which make it ideal for manufacture of many products.The calculated average industry grade mild steel density is 7.85 gm/cm3. Its Young's modulus, which is a measure of its stiffness is around 210,000 MPa.Mild steel is the cheapest and most versatile form of steel and serves every application which requires a bulk amount of steel.The low amount of alloying elements, also makes mild steel vulnerable to rust. Naturally, people prefer stainless steel over mild steel, when they want a rust free material. Mild steel is also used in construction as structural steel. It is also widely used in the car manufacturing industry.For More Details Plz Visit at: steelmkts.com (Like, Ms Ingot, Scrap, Sponge Iron, Pig Iron, TMT, Rebars, Iron Ore, Wire Rod, Angle, Channle, Girder, HR/CR Coils, Billets, Iron Pellets, Rolling, Metals,etc. Prices) OR Call +91-98888-14974Iron & Steel Price in Mandi Gobindgarh, Steel & Iron Prices Of Ludhiana, Iron & Steel Prices in Mumbai, Steel Prices in Maharashtra, Steel & Iron Prices of Jammu, Iron Prices of Kolkata, Steel & Iron Rates in Durgapur,Steel & Iron Rates in Bangloure, Steel & Iron Rates in Bhavnagar, steel price in Tamil Nadu, Steel & Iron Prices in Chennai, Iron Price in Ahmedabad, steel price of Alang, Iron rates of Ghaziabad, Steel & Iron Price in Hydrabad,steel prices of Jaipur, Iron and Steel Prices in Bhiwari, steel price of Mujaffarnagar, iron & steel Rates in Raipur, iron prices of Rourkela, steel prices in Raigarh, Steel Prices of Nagpur, Iron & steel prices in Orissa
