Which one is more malleabe iron or sodium?

Sodium is more malleable than iron. But sodium may catch fire may exposed to air / moisture.


How malleable is iron?

Iron is malleable but not very.Yes, iron is malleable, but most of metals are more malleable than iron.In this list metals are ranked by malleability from greatest to least:gold,silver,lead,copper,aluminium,tin,platinum,zinc,iron,nickel.


Sodium salt with 0.5 iron content?

how can i produce sodiumsalt containing limit less than 0.5 iron


Is Iron more malleable than gold?

No, especially in compounds like steel- most metals are malleable in their pure form.


What is the difference between ductile iron and malleable iron?

Malleable cannot be broken like a cast fitting can be and normally malleable fittings / pipe do not have a seam +++ Its full name is Malleable CAST Iron - it is cast as "ordinary" cast-iron but is a lot less brittle. It is an important material combining some of the properties of cast-iron with those of mild-steel.


Is aluminium less malleable than gold?

Yes, by quite a bit.


What element is most reactive sodium magnesium or iron?

Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.


Why are fireplace pokers made of iron and not copper?

There are several reasons: * Iron is less malleable than copper so the tools can be thinner and lighter and still have the durability and strength needed * Iron has a higher melting point than copper * Iron does not conduct heat as well as copper so the handles of iron tools stay cooler longer * Iron is about a tenth the price of copper


What is the difference between carbon steel fittings and malleable iron fittings?

Malleable iron has been in use for hundreds of years and is a good choice for small castings or castings with thin cross sections. Malleable iron can be bent easily and has very good fracture toughness in colder temperatures. Fittings made from carbon steel are made in a wide variety of sizes with lower carbon steel being easier to bend but having less strength than higher carbon steels.


Is malleable iron a cast iron or wrought iron?

Malleable means can be hammered. Cast iron will crack or break into pieces; it's not malleable. The word wrought means hammered. You could have used a dictionary for definitions; this isn't really an engineering question. The cast iron with carbon content of less than 0.2% is called wrought iron or pure iron. Wrought iron is very soft, plastic and easily deformed, but its strength and hardness are lower, so not widely used. Malleable cast iron is produced from white cast iron, which is made from hot liquid iron with certain chemical components. The white cast iron needs to be treated by malleablizing, such as graphitizing or oxidation and decarbonization, then its metallographic structures or chemical components will be changed, so can become into malleable cast iron. +++ So yes, Malleable Iron is a Cast Iron, but a much less brittle species enabling it to be used almost as a grade of steel. It is an important mechanical-engineering material. ' Wrought Iron was the ancestor of Mild Steel but became obsolete and no longer made, by the early 20C. It was very uneconomical, as well as very labour-intensive in very unpleasant conditions to make; and its internal structure and inconsistent quality rendered it totally unsuitable for the new engineering demands developing rapidly from the 1850s onwards.


Why is sodium metal lighter than iron?

Because it has a fourth shell which means it's valence electrons are further from the nucleus (protons) meaning that there is less attraction between it's electrons and protons; this obviously forms a weaker bond. Sodium has only 3 shells which means its valence electrons are closer to the nucleus.


Do germanium have property of ductility and malleability?

no, it is less ductile and malleable than is glass.
