What kinda metal is the most heat repellent?
None are repellant, but some absorb heat more readily & some radiate it more efficiently. Copper/brass is used for radiators for this reason, aluminum is good, but takes a larger tube/more fins. Alum. is superior to iron. For example, you can run more compression with aluminum cylinder heads because they run cooler than stock iron.
What metal is the best conductor of heat aluminium iron or brass?
Aluminum have better thermal conductivity than ironAluminum: 205W/(m K)Iron: 80 W/(m K)
Does electrolysis occur between aluminum and galvanised iron?
Yes, Aluminum is more electrically active than both zinc and iron. It will become the cathode in the electrochemical reaction.
Is aluminum more dense than iron?
Yes, aluminum is approximately 2.7 times more dense than water
There is more aluminum than iron in the earths crust why is that?
I don't think this is true.While there is 8.1% of aluminum and only 5% iron in the earth's CRUST, most of the iron "in the earth" is to be found in the earth's CORE.The whole earth proportions are aluminum 1.1% and iron 35%The following is a good link to read: (see the link below which I think will explain what you are asking about)
Is aluminum more durable then iron?
aluminum is more durable than iron.
Why iron corrodes but aluminum does not?
Both iron and aluminum will oxidize. When iron oxidizes the product (rust) easily crumbles away, exposing more iron to oxidation. Aluminum is even more reactive than iron, but the aluminum oxide that forms is one of the hardest known substances and forms a protective layer that, even though it is microscopic, shields the aluminum from corrosion.

Why was iron used long before alluminium?
Iron was used for thousands of years before aluminum. While aluminum is more abundant, it is not as easy to work with as iron.
Why is aluminum more expensive then iron?
it's harder to make

What are the advantages of iron patio furniture over aluminum?
Iron Patio furniture is more weather resistant and may last longer than aluminum patio furniture however it may also cost more.
