Which element is used in aerospace industries in alloys with other metals?

Titanium is commonly used in aerospace industries to manufacture alloys with other metals due to its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to high temperatures.


Are silicon and germanium always used in alloys?

No, silicon and germanium are not always used in alloys. Silicon is commonly used in alloys, such as in aluminum-silicon alloys. Germanium is less commonly used in alloys due to its high cost and limited availability compared to other alloying elements.


What do people do with titanium?

Titanium is used to make alloys. These alloys are used to make vehicle parts.


What advantage to smart alloys have over ordinary metals?

A smart alloy, also called a shape memory alloy, returns to its original shape when heated. They can be used to make solid-state actuators and have numerous applications in the medical and aerospace industries.=== === a normal alloy (like steel) with special qualities. they can bend back into their original shape after being bent. They are used in medical operations and dental braces. They are newly developed so are quite expensive.What is an alloy?Pure metals are too soft for many uses. To make metals harder we mix them together to make alloys. Useful alloys include:-the copper alloys, bronze and brass-steel, which is an alloy of iron, other metals and the non-metallic element carbon.


Can you name 2 smart alloys and their uses?

The most common smart alloys (also known as shape memory alloys) are copper-zinc-aluminum-nickel, copper-aluminum-nickel, and nickel-titanium. Applications include a device to reduce aircraft engine noise, several medical uses, and of course eyeglass frames such as Titaniflex.
