What is precipitation hardening?
Precipitation hardening, or age hardening, is a heat treatment process used to increase the strength and hardness of certain metal alloys. It involves heating the material to a specific temperature, holding it there for a period of time, then cooling it rapidly to room temperature. This process allows fine particles or precipitates to form within the metal structure, strengthening it.
Is iridium shiny?
Yes, iridium is a shiny, silvery-white metal known for its high resistance to corrosion. It has a high melting point and is often used in various industrial applications, including in spark plugs and as a hardening agent in platinum alloys.
Compare and contrast the two types of metal alloys?
Ferrous alloys contain iron as the base metal, while non-ferrous alloys do not. Ferrous alloys are typically magnetic and have higher strength but lower corrosion resistance compared to non-ferrous alloys. Non-ferrous alloys, on the other hand, are lighter, have better corrosion resistance, and are often used in applications where magnetic properties are not desirable.
Are alloys only formed when a metal bonds with a non- metal?
No. The are many metal-metal alloys. Stainless steel and brass for instance.
What metal is jewellery made from?
Gold (and alloys), silver (and alloys), platinum and rarely other metals.
Being a lightweight with a high melting point this group II metal is an ideal hardening agent?
Beryllium is the lightweight Group II metal with high melting point that is known for its use as a hardening agent in various alloys.
What exactly is case hardening?
Case hardening, also referred to as surface hardening is the process of hardening a surface of a metal. It is done by surfacing the metal surface with a layer of metal on top of it, in order to harden it.

How does surface hardening different from true hardening?
in my opinion surface hardening is applied only on the surface while the true hardening is applied in the whole part of the metal....
Do alloys produce strength?
Alloys can add strength to a metal
Do alloys help to eliminate undesired properties in a metal?
Alloys can help neutralize unwanted properties of a metal
Is chromiumCr a metalnonmetalmetalloid?
Chromium (Cr) is a metal. It is a silvery, lustrous transition metal commonly used in metal alloys and stainless steel production.
Is hardening metal reduces its size?
yes it does,

Why are many metals used as alloys?
alloys are probably cheaper to make and stonger then an element or a simple metal. Alloys are easier to make. It is difficult to find a simple metal.
Is indium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Indium is a metal. It belongs to p block, group 13.
