What is true about alloy steel chains?
they are very strong and durable.
What is an alloy of magnesium?
An alloy of Magnesium is a type of steel with Magnesium as the main ingredient. For example, Magnox is 99% Magnesium and 1% Aluminium is a steel used for the cladding of fuel rods in some nuclear power stations. Another alloys with Magnesium contain Aluminium, Zirconium, Silver, Zinc, and the Rare Earth Elements such as Yttrium and Erbium.
What element is mixed with steel?
Almost any metal might be included in a steel alloy. The simplest alloy that is called steel is an alloy of just iron and carbon. But it is the ratio that is important (e.g. cast iron is also an alloy of just iron and carbon, but it has too much carbon making it too brittle to be steel). There are also a few nonmetals (e.g. boron, silicon) that might be included in a steel alloy.
What is the difference between aluminum and steel?
Chemically, aluminium is an element, while steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron. Although most aluminium items you see and use are also Alloys, strictly speaking. Steel is stronger but heavier. They have quite different material qualities.
What is the alloy of steel?
The alloy of steel is carbon and iron.
What is the rocket's body made of?
Depending on the rocket it could be made of an aluminium alloy, a steel alloy or titanium.
What metals are car wheels made from?

What metal is a strong alloy of iron?
steel
Why is aluminium alloy rather than steel is used to make aircraft?
Because aluminium is not only cheaper but lighter. - Dave! Yognaut
Why are metals and alloys used in so many meterials?
Combination of strength, weight, durability, and cost that goes into make something. Steel is strong, but really heavy. Aluminium is light, but not very strong. Also, some metals make the alloy not rust. An example is Stainless Steel. Its a combination of Steel and Chrome. The Chrome makes the Stainless steel cost more. Its an Engineer's job to find the best alloy for the job.
What is true about alloy steel chains?
they are very strong and durable.
Where on a aluminium alloy mountain bike would you find steel?
In several places actually. Fasteners - screws, nuts and bolts - are usually steel. Wheel axles, freewheel mechanisms, brake parts tend to be steel. Aluminium forks may have steel steerers. Bearings tends to use steel.
What are bicycle brakes made of?
Usually an aluminum alloy, although high-end ones may be of titanium.
What kind of metal is a dirt bike motor?
Generally motorcycle blocks are made of either cast Iron, or Cast Aluminium. A lot of custom metals are available for the highest end race teams, but odds are if you run into a modern dirt bike, the block will be cast aluminium, the pistons will be a steel alloy, the crank will be either cast iron or a steel alloy, and the Connecting rods (between the pistons and the crank) will be either a steel alloy, or an aluminium alloy. Possibly titanium in various percentages in any or all components. Older engines will be generally the same, but the block will be more than likely made of cast iron.
Is steel is good conducter of electricity?
Not so good compared to metals such as copper and aluminium. Steel is an alloy where as copper is a pure metal
