Why do aeroplanes have aluminium bodies instead of iron?
Iron is heavier than aluminium. Aluminium is easier to form, shape and machine.
Is aluminium heavier than iron?
Aluminum has about 1/3 the density of iron, therefore a given volume of aluminum would weigh about 1/3 as much as the same amount of iron. So no, aluminum is not heavier than iron; far from it.
Which is stronger Aluminium corrugated sheets or galvanised iron corrugated sheets?
Aluminium corrugated sheets are generally stronger than galvanised iron corrugated sheets because of the inherent strength of aluminium as a metal compared to iron. Aluminium is also more resistant to corrosion, making it a more durable option for outdoor applications.
What is heavier metal iron or aluminium?
Iron has a higher density than aluminum
Why are car parts made out of aluminium rather than iron?
Aluminium weighs less and it doesn't rust. It's about as hard as iron, too.
Why is aluminium alloy rather than steel is used to make aircraft?
Because aluminium is not only cheaper but lighter. - Dave! Yognaut
What is the word equation for heating aluminium powder with iron oxide?
well, this is my theory, excuse me if i am not at all correct, but i believe the answer is; Aluminium + Iron Oxide ---> Aluminium Oxide + Iron + heat i really do hope this is correct, please except my apologies if it is not.
Why is aluminium now cheaper than 150 years ago?
because i am cypriot
Why is aliminium better than iron for airplanes?
Aluminium is way lighter than iron, and therefore the plane can get off the ground.
Why do we recycle aluminium?
Simply because it's cheaper (and less energy hungry) to recycle aluminium - than produce new batches from raw materials. Aluminium can be infinitely re-cycled.
Is a 10 gram chunk of iron smaller than a 10 gram chunk of aluminum?
Yes. Iron is denser than aluminium.
What properties applies to aluminum and not iron?
Aluminium is paramagnetic, iron is ferromagnetic Aluminium has a low density, iron is more dense Aluminium is not corroded in water, iron is easily corroded The hardness of aluminium is lower The price of aluminium is greater The melting point of iron is significantly greater The thermal and electrical conductivity of aluminium are more important Iron has a greater chemical reactivity ................................................................... etc.
