Metals commonly used in space applications include aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel due to their strength, light weight, and resistance to extreme temperatures and radiation. These materials are used in spacecraft construction, equipment and tools, as well as in space suits and station components.

How are electromagnets used in recycling metals?

Electromagnets are used in recycling metals to separate ferrous metals from non-ferrous metals. When a magnet is applied to a mixture of metals, only the ferrous metals (which are magnetic) are attracted to the magnet. This allows for efficient sorting and separation of different types of metals for recycling purposes.


What are the advantages of radioactive metals?

Some radioactive metals are advantageous because they are useful. Certain radioactive metals like cobalt-60 are used as gamma ray sources for portable X-ray equipment, and to sterilize foods and other products. The most common use of radioactive metals is the use of uranium in nuclear reactors, principally to generate electric power. Radioactive metals are used as thermoelectric generators in space probes that travel far from the sun (because solar panels won't work far out). And these are just a few of their uses.
