What is nickel babbitt?
Nickel Babbitt is a proprietary poured bearing alloy. It contains tin, antimony, zinc, and about 0.5% nickel (alloys of this class are referred to as XXXX Nickel). It has low friction and has high thermal conductivity to resist high temperatures. Other babbitt load-bearing alloys may include lead and copper. One alloy used by Henry Ford for crankshaft bearings was 86% tin, 7% copper, and 7% antimony.
What are the most common use of nonferrous alloys?
alloys are adding of certain metals with iron or steel in order to increase its individual properties.for example the knife which is commonly used in kitchens are in high danger of rusting due to the moisture content of air in kitchens,so certain mixture of zinc is plated on the knife to resist rust.this process is called galvanization
What is resist of tie and dye in textiles?
what is resist of tie and dye
Three properties that a polymer used to make window frames should have?
well it seems to need to be transparrent, easily moulded, and tough so not to smash <><><> Window FRAMES do not need to be transparent- but they DO need to resist being degraded by the ultraviolet light in sunlight, not become brittle under cold temperatures, and resist warping or deforming.
What is the element that provides a protective coating to resist rust?
chromium :)
Is alloys resist to corrosion?
Alloys can add corrosion resistance to a metal
How can Boron be used for Heat-Resistant Alloys?
The can resist up to 2,300 celsius
Why do materials like living cells heat up when electric current passes through them?
Living cells, containing water conduct electricity. However other compounds in the cell resist electricity causing thermal build-up, much like the filament in a light bulb.
Materials such as glass or ceramic that resist the flow of electricity?
"Insulators"
Outdoor furniture covers with moisture guards?
Yes, outdoor furnitire is made to repel moisture. Most manufacturers offer products that are made to resist mold, mildew, and moisture by standard. The chemicals, and components in each products varies, but you should be fine no metter where you shop.
Where are alloys found?
Metal alloys are used whenever a pure material does not have the desired characteristics. For example, pure gold is beautiful, but relatively soft and does not keep its shape well. A gold alloy is just as pretty, but is hard enough to resist dents. Iron is hard, but rusts quickly. Steel, an alloy of iron, carbon and other metals, is harder and more durable.
Why is dry wall used in homes?
It is quicker and cheaper than lath and plaster, takes paint well, and can come in several finishes to resist moisture.
Why do we use metal as cooking tools?
Metals are hard, resistant to abrasion, resitant to high temperatures, they have a good thermal conductivity, many alloys resist to corrosion etc.
What happen when wood get wet?
When wood is exposed to moisture, it will decay and deteriorate unless it is pressure treated or treated some other way. However, there are some wood that resist moisture naturally, like redwood.
What do thick wires resist electricity?
Other things being equal, a thick wire has less electrical resistance than a thin wire.
Does gold conduct heat and electricity?
Yes, gold conducts electricity. In fact, it's an excellent electrical conductor. Coupled with its resistance to corrosion, it finds broad use in modern electronics, to name just one application.
Thin wires resist electricity more or less than thick wires?
A thin (smaller diameter) wire resist more electricity than a thick (larger diameter) wire. Just like a larger pipe will allow more water to flow than a smaller pipe, a larger wire has more cross-sectional area to allow more current to flow.
