The alloy Invar is made up by the metals of nickel and iron. The full makeup is 36% nickel and 64% iron. The alloy was invented in the year 1896 by a Swiss scientist.

Can INVAR alloy be used as a magnetic core?

Invar can be used as magnetic core material, but there are better choices. Invar is alloyed for its thermal stability. It is iron with a good percentage of nickel. Remember that magnetic core material is usually laminated or is "powdered" in a way to electrically isolate the "bits" of core material so eddy currents will be reduced.

How do you work out density of an alloy given its make up?

If you are given its makeup you should be able to make up a list of its constituent metals or elements and the weight fraction of each. Then find the densities of each. Multiply the fraction of each times its density to get the 'weight' of that element in a unit weight the alloy. Add up these 'weights' to get the weight of a unit of the alloy.


What 3 metals make up nickel?

The three metals that make up nickel in its alloy form are copper, iron, and chromium. These metals are combined in specific amounts to create different grades of nickel alloys with varying properties.


What materials make up the inner core?

The inner core of the Earth is composed of solid iron. The outer core is made up of molten metals, primarily a nickel-iron alloy.


Why an alloy is harder that the individual metals that make it up?

Alloys are harder than the individual metals because the different types of atoms in the alloy create a stronger and more stable atomic structure, preventing dislocations and making it more difficult for the material to deform. This results in improved mechanical properties, such as increased hardness and strength compared to the pure metals.

What does alloy metals mean?

An alloy is a combination/compound of metals mixed together, usually a less costly metal is mixed with a more valuable one to make an alloy. Such as, 24K gold is entirely pure, but 18K gold or 22K gold is not because it is an alloy, it has been mixed by having 6 or 2 other components added.
