Radiators are made of a lot of metals with high melting points (example: Aluminum)
It is made of metal because metal is the best conductor of heat.

what are the names of metal
Virgin metal is metal that's been made fresh from ore. Scrap metal is metal that's been made into something first, then brought back and recycled.
Sheet metal refers to how the metal is layed out rather than what type of metal. So therefore sheet metal can be made out of metals such as gold, brass, copper and steel. If the type of metal used is magnetic then so is the sheet metal.
if that is not obvious to you, you must be an alien.
On my 91 it is metal (copper, or an alloy I believe?), although I have never heard of a plastic radiator.
Usually a radiator is made of metal. Plastic can not take the pressure. A hole can be fixed by welding. A radiator shop can tell you for sure.
A radiator is a conductor because it is made of metal, which is a material that allows heat to flow through it easily. When hot water or steam passes through the radiator, the metal quickly heats up and transfers that heat to the surrounding air, helping to warm up a room.
Your radiator cap is made of metal and rubber. The metal and rubber are reacting to the rust in your radiator. Rust and oxidation in your radiator will deteriorate the cap at an accelerated rate. I suggest flushing the cooling system and replacing the coolant and cap. If it persists after that you might have a heat problem that is cooking the rubber right off the radiator cap. If this is the case you should check your thermostat and heating Coil.
Radiator cores are typically made from aluminum and brass. Aluminum is used for the tubes and fins, while brass is used for the header and tanks. Aluminum is chosen for its lightweight and heat transfer properties, while brass is chosen for its corrosion resistance and durability.
If it is a plastic radiator and it is stripped, no, if it is metal yes.
A hot-water radiator heats a room by transferring heat from the hot water flowing through the radiator to the metal surface of the radiator. The metal then radiates this heat into the surrounding air in the room through a combination of conduction and convection. As the air near the radiator heats up, it rises, creating a natural circulation of warm air in the room.
Follow the 2 small metal lines from the side of the radiator to the transmission
radiator is the zig zag tubing thing with metal fins in front of the engine block. you will see a metal cap on the center top sometimes on the side.
Thermal energy from the steam is transferred to the radiator through conduction. The steam flows through pipes within the radiator, heating the metal walls. Heat is then transferred from the hot metal to the surrounding air in the room.
The hot water is in contact with the metal casing of the radiator, so that metal radiator takes some heat from the water. The heat then passes from the inside metal of radiator to the outside metal of the radiator through convection. The outside metal of the radiator then passes it to the air that is blowing by it outside.
