Is aluminum made of two or more metals?

Aluminum, itself, is not an alloy. You may be referring to an aluminum alloy, which is a mix of two metals(often aluminum and steel) intended to combine their characteristics. Aluminum is one of the base metals.


What is the difference between aluminiun oxide and iron oxide?

One is oxidized aluminum and the other is oxidized iron. Iron oxide is magnetic. Aluminum oxide is not. Most of the clear semi precious gems like rubies and emeralds are made from aluminum oxide. Iron oxide is in hematite the black, opaque mineral.


What is nonferrous metal made from?

All depends on what kind of non-ferrous metal.They are different kinds of non-ferrous metal that includes aluminium,gold copper zinc and etc.Non-ferrous metals are pure metal and do not contain any iron, they are made from one type of element and have one atom in their structure.


What physical property can you distinguish between iron and aluminum?

Both aluminum and iron are metals. Both can be melted in any shape and both conducts electricity. Aluminium forms passivation layer with oxygen and iron when placed in contact with oxygen, corrodes.


How do you define ferrous and non-ferrous?

a ferrous metal is a metal primarily made of iron and other metals to give the correct properties Iron is often referred to as a ferrous metal, but the word ferrous really refers to compounds containing iron. Compounds containing iron having a valance of +2 are ferrous; those compounds containing iron having a valence of +3 are ferric. In a more general sense, ferrous metals are metals or metal alloys that contain the element iron. Steel, for example, is a ferrous metal, and there are a number of other alloys that contain iron. Use the link below for more information. all ferrous metals are magnetic and contain a small amount of other metals to provide the correct properties

What the metals is the most suitable for vehicles?

Kinda obvious :S Metals (usually aluminum or steel) are used in cars because they are strong and cheap. Expensive sports cars usually have stronger metals (like titanium) but that makes them more expensive. Different metals are used for different purposes, too. The main frame of a car would usually be steel instead of aluminum because it is stronger but delicate pieces would be made of aluminum because strength is not needed but it would be cheaper to make them in aluminum


Is the bottom of an iron made of iron?

Yes, the bottom of an iron, known as the soleplate, is typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum, and not necessarily iron. The choice of material is based on factors like heat conduction and durability.


What are some examples of ferrous and nonferrous metals?
