Is steel a useful alloy of copper and tin?
steel is an alloy of iron and about 0.1%-0.3% carbon. bronze is an alloy of copper+ tin....( not steel)
Is mild steel a pure metal or an alloy?
Yes its an alloy ! Because steel itself is an alloy of IRON and CARBON and based on the content of carbon it is classified as mild steel , low carbon steel etc;
Why are surgical instruments made from steel containing chromium and nickel?
The more chromium used in making stainless steel, the softer the alloy becomes, which is undesirable in the manufacturing of surgical instruments. Therefore, the mix required to make quality medical instruments is very specific and has well defined parameters.
Is stainless steel a pure substance or a mixture?
No; steel is an iron-carbon alloy. Stainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromium added. Stainless steel is usually 13-25% chromium (by weight).
Was the alloy steel was discovered before bronze?
No
When was stainless steel discovered?
In 1912 Harry Brearley was seeking a corrosion resistant alloy for bun barrels. During this process he subsequently discovered a martensitic stainless steel alloy we use today.
Was the alloy steel discovered before bronze?
No, bronze was one of the first alloys ever discovered.
What element can be used in a surgical instrument?
Surgical instruments are made from steel. Steel is an alloy made of mostly iron, with other elements to give it special properties. Surgical steel is made from iron, chromium, nickel and molybdenum.
What metal is used in knives?
Most are made with stainless steel, or carbon steel. Some higher quality ones use a surgical steel or high strength alloy.
