depends on the process as to why you add aluminum. For zinc components, it is for strength. In galvanizing it is for providing a shiney surface. Alloys tend to be stronger and lighter than just pure metals. The ratio is critical to the process.

Is the nike imara alloy bat composite?

I just got that same bat (for $25 I can't believe it) and I'm pretty sure that it is half composite and half aluminum but I can't be sure. It makes a funny noise when you hit something with it and its not pure composite or pure aluminum so I think its a mix.


Zinc plus Copper sulphate?

When zinc is added to copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the compound to form zinc sulfate and copper metal. The balanced chemical equation is: Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu. The copper metal will appear as a reddish-brown precipitate while the zinc sulfate solution will remain colorless.


What element brass a corrosion resistant alloy is mix for copper and this metal?

Brass is a corrosion-resistant alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. The addition of zinc enhances the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of copper, making brass suitable for various applications, including plumbing, electrical components, and decorative items. The specific proportions of copper and zinc can vary, resulting in different types of brass with distinct characteristics.

Is aluminum made of two or more metals?

Aluminum, itself, is not an alloy. You may be referring to an aluminum alloy, which is a mix of two metals(often aluminum and steel) intended to combine their characteristics. Aluminum is one of the base metals.

What is an alloy - is brass an alloy?

An alloy is a mixture of two or more different metals. The metals in an alloy aren't chemically bonded together as molecules. Brass is an alloy, it is a mixture of copper and zinc. Different types of brass are made for different uses, the copper normally represents between 60 and 70% of the mix, and zinc between 30 and 40%. They may also contain traces of tin and iron.
