Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc.

Originally solder is an alloy of Tin and Lead.

Lead-free solders in commercial use may contain tin, copper, silver, bismuth, indium, zinc, antimony, and traces of other metals.

What are the disadvantages of galvanizing steel?

1- it causes dezinification when mixed with Yellow brass 2- Electrolytic action when mixed with non ferrous metals such as Brass . copper and Muntz metals 3- Cannot be used under ground with out proper covering 4- It can hide defects under the zinc coating 5- leaves rough spots inside the pipe that can cause piping failures and stoppages


Names of 5 alloys?

Alloys are metals combined in order to produce a new metal with superior quality. Examples for alloy metals are:Duralumin - copper and aluminiumWoods metal - lead, tin and cadmiumBronze - copper and tinBrass - copper and zincRose gold - copper and goldSolder - lead and tinSteel - iron and carbon, often other metals as well


What the difference in red brass and brass?

Red brass is composed of 85% copper, 5% tin, 5% lead, and 5% zinc, giving it a reddish color and good corrosion resistance. Brass, on the other hand, is primarily composed of copper and zinc, with different proportions giving it varying properties such as color, strength, and corrosion resistance.


How do you solder?

Step 1) Twist the two parts together (only do this if you are soldering two wires together).Step 2) When the soldering iron is hot enough, tin the tip of it with solder or tinning compund.Step 3) Heat the parts that are going to be joined. DO NOT MOVE THE SOLDERING IRON.Step 4) Slowly push the solder into the heated area. Sing 1 2 3 4 5 once I caught a fish alive while you are doing this. This is becuase when you finish singing it, enough solder will have melted onto the joint.Step 5) Clean the tip of the soldering iron by rubbing on a damp sponge.Step 6)Leave the solder to cool and harden.u have to use the right type of metals but for like wires u would twist the two together like _ _ not like /\ under a wire nut and use a soldering stick to heat up the exposed part of the wire and brush the solder across and it will melt on it and down into it== ==Use the soldering iron to heat both the solder pad and the parts lead at the same time. Give it a couple seconds to heat up and then apply your solder, using just enough to cover the soldering pad and connect to the wire lead. Then let the connection cool. Be sure that the part lead doesn't move during the cooling phase or you'll get what they call a cold solder joint. It takes a little practice but it's no rocket science, either.The solder should be a `rosin core` solder. What that means is that the solder has soldering flux built into it which helps clean the connection after being heat activated and also helps to ensure that the solder will flow evenly as well as adhere to the metal.A cold solder joint looks grainy and dull in appearance. A good solder joint looks shiny. If you get a cold joint, reheat it and let the solder cool down again, and if necessary, it's OK to add a touch more solder.

Is silver solder 100 percent silver?

No. 100% silver would be pure silver. Noble silver, Argentium nobalis. which is super soft and shiny. it is very difficult to tarnish. Silver solder is an alloy. An alloy being a mixture of metals. Hard solder is around 67% silver eg. the amount of silver generally goes down as its melting temperature goes down. Soft solder is likely around 45% eg. it could vary massively from company to company and application. A recipe for hard solder is. 1/2 parts tombac brass, to 1 part pure silver. Adding 5% zinc to this, would lower its melting temperature enough to call it softer solder for aplication. Caution, careful of this recipe for jewelry application. it might not meat your countries standard for silver content and you could be breaking the law. Research the percentage of silver necessary to meat the requirements. do not add metals to it you know nothing about. You could hurt someone. All of this should be do buy someone with good knowledge.

5 metals that are pure elements and 3 that are mixtures?

A number of metals were known to ancients because they could be found in their elemental form. We can list gold, copper, silver, lead and tin among the examples of these metals. As regards metals that are mixtures of metals (we call them alloys), brass (a copper and zinc alloy), bronze (a copper and tin alloy), and steel(an iron and carbon alloy) are among the better known.
