Does sterling wear away?

No, it does not wear away. But, it can get scratches. So, store it away from other jewelry and just keep cleaning it with jewelry cleaner, and will stay good as new!!


What silvery metallic metal can be used to coat other metals?

It is simply because each metal has its own characteristic properties besides the typical properties of metals. Hence they find use in various fields corresponding to their characteristic features.


Why metals becomes wear resistant on freezing?

When metals freeze, their atomic structure becomes more ordered, creating stronger bonds between atoms. This increased stability and alignment of atoms result in better resistance to wear because it makes the metal harder and more resistant to deformation during sliding or contact with other materials.


What is it called when particles in a river wear each other down?

The process in which particles in a river wear each other down is called "abrasion." As sediment and rocks are transported by the flowing water, they collide and grind against each other, resulting in the smoothing and rounding of their edges. This process contributes to the overall erosion and shaping of the riverbed and surrounding landscape.


What happen when rocks rub together?

Depends upon the two rocks and where they are. You will get dust as one stone wears away the other, or they wear away each other depending on the comparative density. Two rocks in a tumbling drum will slowly round each other off, creating smooth roundish stones. If one has iron content, and the other flint, you could create some sparks that could be used to make a fire. If the rocks are coal, you could get a very fine coal dust that can be lit with a match.

Can acids wear away metals?

Yes, acids can corrode and wear away metals through a process called chemical dissolution. The acid reacts with the metal, forming metal salts and releasing hydrogen gas which weakens the metal's structure. The rate of corrosion depends on the type of acid, the metal composition, and the concentration of the acid.

What is the wearing away of material by friction?

The wearing away of material by friction is called abrasion. It occurs when two surfaces rub against each other, causing particles to break off and wear down the material.
