Indirectly yes. Rivetting, plating, adhesive bonding, but joining these materials could lead to corrosion in wet conditions.

What is copper phytomining?

The world is running out of rich copper ores. Research is being carried out to find new ways to extract copper from the remaining low-grade ores, without harming the environment too much. This research is very important, as traditional mining involves huge open-cast mines that produce a lot of waste rock.Some plants absorb copper through their roots. As a result of this they concentrate these compounds as a result of this. The plants can be burned to produce an ash that contains the copper compounds. This process is known as photomining.


Between glass copper stainless steel and cast iron which one holds heat longer?

glass


Why are pots made of iron?

SO they don't melt on the stove. Also they are durable, good conductors of heat. Copper pans are much more expensive, and so are cast iron ones.


2 examples of alloys?

AlloysSteel contains iron , carbon and othersBrass is an alloy of copper and zincBronze is combination of copper and tinfurther these are notifide base on the high percentage of elements found in the base metals. They broadly categorized as carbon steels, nickel chrome steels etc, the Aluminum alloys, copper alloys with various compositions.An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Some familiar examples of alloys include brass, bronze, pewter, cast and wrought iron, steel, coin metal. Alloys are usually synthetic materials, developed by scientists for special purposes. They generally have specially desirable properties quite different from the metals from which they are made. As an example, Wood's metal is a mixture of about 50 percent bismuth, 10 percent cadmium, 13 percent tin, and 27 percent lead that melts at 70°C (160°F). Some common alloys and what we use them for Alloy Components Brass Copper (65-90%), zinc (10-35%). Bronze Copper (78-95%), tin (5-22%), plus manganese, phosphorus, aluminum, or silicon. Cast iron Iron (96-98%), carbon (2-4%), plus silicon. Cupro-nickel (copper nickel) Copper (75%), nickel (25%), plus small amounts of manganese.


Is there a difference in material and price between a solid copper casket and a copper deposit casket?

Yes, there is a difference, and it's a big one. Solid copper caskets are made from sheets of wrought copper which usually have a weight of 32 ounces per square foot (standard caskets) or 48 oz, in rare cases even 64 oz or more. The typical weight of a sheet copper casket is between 200 and 300 lbs. 32 oz solid copper caskets are available from $ 2,000 upwards (Online casket retailers). Copper deposit caskets are produced in a time consuming process in which molecules of copper are deposited upon a casket form (usually made of 48oz copper sheets). Copper deposit caskets weigh between 600 and 800 lbs because the typical thickness of their walls is about 1/8 of an inch (3 mm). The cost of copper deposit casket is so high that they were manufactured until the 1980s only (by the Boyertown Burial Casket Co. and by the National Casket Company of Boston). At that time, a copper deposit casket was about a dozen times more expensive than a standard 32oz solid copper casket. The optional silver plating of the exterior would add another 25% to the cost of the casket. This price was exceeded only by cast bronze caskets (weighing between 1,000 and 1,200 lbs), which in the 1970s were about three times more expensive than copper deposit caskets. As mentioned, copper deposit caskets are no longer in production. The closest modern equivalent probably would be the 300 lbs heavy 48oz thermo-deposited bronze casket called "Marquis", manufactured by the York-Hoover Company; the casket costs about ten times the price of a standard 32 oz bronze coffin. The most famous copper deposit caskets were made by the National Casket Company. These copper deposit caskets had no joints or welding seams nor did the attachments of the handles penetrate the casket walls. National seamless copper deposit casket were used for the funerals of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (# 21260 bronze plated), William Randolph Hearst (# 21200 as triple lid inner glass sealer), Elijah Muhammad (silver plated model # 21200 as glassless double lid sealer) Elvis Presley (# 21200) and Aaliyah Haughton (# 20761 ornamental corner design, silver plated). The Boyertown Burial Casket Company manufactured several copper deposit designs, for example a copper deposited bronze casket (model # 2471) which had a complete solid bronze inner casket inside of it. The casket had a triple lid (outer and middle metal lids and an inner glass lid); the weight was probably around 700 lbs.

Can copper dwv attach to a cast iron drain system without a dielectric union?

yes. A no-hub coupling or FERNCO (brand name) coupling work well.


Can you connect a copper fitting into a cast iron pipe without a dielectric union?

Certainly, if the pipes are kept dry, and don't carry an electrolyte, such as water.Otherwise, it's a bad idea to directly connect different metallic pipes. In fact, most plumbing codes prohibit such a connection.That's because anytime any two dissimilar metals contact each other -- while in the presence of an electrolyte -- whichever metal has the higher electropotential will corrode, through electrolytic action.So, in the case of copper vs iron, the copper side of the joint will eventually fail due to corrosion -- unless you electrically isolate the two metals.You can do this via a dielectric union, or dielectric nipple. Or, you can use a hardened brass fitting, which resists corrosion and also smooths the dielectric potential between the copper and steel.Of course, another author may have a different opinion (like the one below.) So my advice is to understand the 'why' of electrolytic corrosion, so you can determine whether or not, in your case, a dielectric union is advisable.####Of course , NO Problem and there are many ,many options of doing so.The electrolytic conditions happens when connecting ferrous metals to non ferrous metals that contain zinc (galvanized) if you think about it EVERY SINGLE CAST IRON RADIATOR has a brass shut off valve, Most black steel gas line have a BRASS gas valve. Brass bolts are the best way to go when installing CAST IRON ROOF DRAINSAlso why use a dielectric union when there are dielectric nipples less chance of leakage


Can you screw a copperfitting into a cast iron pipe without a dielectric union?

Of course NOT A Problem as electrolytic action most of the times happen between piping that contains galvanized coating (Zinc) Cast Iron radiators for example have BRASS valves which can contain as much as 85% copper If one looked at the clean outs of cast iron piping the CO's are brass with never any adverse actions


Can you use cast iron clamps on copper pipe?

Not directly without some type of sleeving or protection between them. They are dissimilar metals and it will create electrolysis which will severely impair the copper pipe and create holes in the copper in the future.

You want to replace old lead pipe connected to cast iron sewer pipe with copper How do you connect the copper pipe to the old lead pipe or to the cast iron pipe?

When I have to connect copper to lead "D" I usually solder the copper to the lead or wipe a lead joint depending on the diameter To connect copper to cast iron ,.... If there is a hub I caulk the copper directly into the CI with oakum and poured lead (molten) OR one can solder / braze a female adapter fitting and screw the copper into a CI female fitting

Can you connect rigid copper to cast iron pipe?

If the copper is big enough, you can treat it as if it were cast and use packing and sealant. If the diameters are too different, you can use a rubber coupling to connect the two.
