Metal is used to make radiators primarily because of its excellent heat-conducting qualities. Due to their high thermal conductivity, metals like steel and aluminum can effectively transfer heat from the radiator's hot water or steam to the air around it. This guarantees the room's efficient heating. Metals are also strong and resistant to changes in pressure and temperature inside heating systems. Additionally, because of their malleability, radiators can be shaped into a variety of sizes and designs, giving them versatility in terms of installation and design.

Do you need a safety mask for metal grinding?
When grinding metal you should wear eye protection. A mask to filter metal particles from the air you breath may be appropriate if you are doing work that will release very small metal particles, and if the metal is chemically hazardous.
What metal did Henry Bessemer invent a cheaper way to make?
Steel. He figured out that if air was blown into the molten iron it would remove the particles that were impurities in the iron. This made steel.
Is metal wrench conductor?
YES, anything metal is a conductor.
Why are central heating radiators made of metal?
radiators need to dissapate heat, and metal can dissapate heat quickly
What metal made of radiator?
Radiators are made of a lot of metals with high melting points (example: Aluminum)
Why is silver not used in central heating radiators?
Silver is a valuable metal, and is thus not used in radiators.
Which metal is used for making radiators of cars?
Aluminum
What metal is used in central heating radiators?
aluminum and copper
Why don't car radiators rust?
car radiators used to be made of copper, copper doesnt rust. most radiators are now made from aluminum.aluminum also does no rust
Why are radiators metal?
Metals are a better heat conductor than plastics.
What is the radiative zone made of?
radiators.
Are all radiators aluminum?
No, they used to be made from copper or brass.
How do steam radiators heat homes?
The metal fins on the outside of the hot water pipes radiate heat into the room.
Can you scrap radiators for cash?
Yes. Look for a metal recycling center or look up scrap metal in the phone book.. Depending on your location in the world, pricing varies. In the U.S. you can get upwards of $1.30 per lb for radiators. To see current pricing of scrap radiator and auto parts go to http://www.scrapmetalpricesandauctions.com
Is the radiator on a 94 Chevy lumina plastic or metal plastic or metal?
cars don't have plastic radiators, if they do the plastic would probably melt, and the compound of metal cools and heats quickly which is useful in cooling water.
