What is an active ingredient in poison ivy lotion and an alloying agent in steel?

poison ivey lotion is a solution(or suspension not sure) of powdered calamine which is Zinc oxide and iron (III) oxideand zinc when used to make various steel alloys and also to electroplate steel for galvanized steel (the stuff that chain linked fences are made of)note electroplating is not the same as alloyingZirconium!


An alloying agent in steel and an active ingredient in poison ivy lotion its silicate may be cubic but it wont last forever?

The alloying agent in steel is carbon, which increases the strength and hardness of the material. The active ingredient in poison ivy lotion is usually calamine, which helps to soothe and relieve itching caused by exposure to poison ivy. The silicate referred to is likely garnet, which can have a cubic crystal structure but is not indefinitely stable due to weathering and erosion.


Is stainless steel a nonalloy steel?

What is the hardest material out of brass and mild steel?

There could be some different ways to answer,but I would have to say it would be copper.Brass is made from combining copper and zinc,while copper can also be an alloying agent for mild steel.However mild steel can have many different alloying agents in it.Carbon is the most prevalent in steel but there would be none in brass since it is a non-ferrous metal.

What are the active ingredients in stainless steel?

Steel is an alloy, consisting mostly of iron, with a carbon content between 0.2 % and 2.04%, depending on the grade and quality. Carbon is the most cost-effective alloying material for iron, but various other alloying elements are used such as manganese, chromium, vanadium and tungsten. so the active ingredient in steel is iron


What makes steel be able to withstand a greater tensile force than iron?

Steel is an alloy; alloying components improve the properties of steel.
