What else can I help you with?
Why do you make alloys?
Alloy of a metal increases its hardness. Gold becomes hard when copper is mixed in it. Alloy of a metal gives it a different colour. An alloy of copper and aluminium (known as aluminium bronze) has a beautiful golden yellow colour. It is used for interior decoration.
How can you buy an alloy?
If it is one of the hundreds of standard alloys you can just buy it from a store that sells metal. If not it will be more complex as you will need to contract with a metal supplier to make it fore you.
What are the uses of silicon metal?
Silicon metal has many uses. It is added to Aluminum alloys and used in the car industry to make them strong and light. It is also used in solar panels, lubricants, greases, skin and hair products, and resins.
What metal is used in low melting alloys and magnets?
Several different metals can be used in magnets. Iron is perhaps the most common metal used in permanent magnets, but alloys such as Alnico (Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt) can also make very strong permanent magnets.
What shiny mirror-like metal is mixed with iron to make stainless steel?
Chrome is used with iron to create stainless steel alloys.
Why are many metals used as alloys?
alloys are probably cheaper to make and stonger then an element or a simple metal. Alloys are easier to make. It is difficult to find a simple metal.
What metal alloys are used for human branding?
alloys are a base metal with a little of a similar metal mixed into it to make them harder for everyday use and are used for structual purposes such as building
What are alloys in aluminium?
Aluminium alloys are alloys of aluminium, often with copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, or magnesum. A alloy is more than one metal combined to make a greater property
Why do you make alloys?

What different alloys are there?
There are thousands upon thousands of different known metal alloys, each with their own particular set of properties that make them useful for practical applications.
What is used to make buildings and ships?
Steel, aluminum, titanium, and high strength metal alloys
What metal in used in the Stryker or Zimmer knee replacements?
The metal parts of the implant are made of titanium- or cobalt/chromium-based alloys
How do you get metal?
Metal is actually a chemical element, so there is more than one way to make it, but alloys (two or more elements in a solid solution) are usually needed to make a metal hard enough for practical use.
How can you buy an alloy?
If it is one of the hundreds of standard alloys you can just buy it from a store that sells metal. If not it will be more complex as you will need to contract with a metal supplier to make it fore you.
Why do you build cars from iron?
It is a cheap and abundant metal that is easy to cast, machine, work with. It is also strong and easy to combine with other metal to make different alloys of steel.
What are the uses of silicon metal?
Silicon metal has many uses. It is added to Aluminum alloys and used in the car industry to make them strong and light. It is also used in solar panels, lubricants, greases, skin and hair products, and resins.
Lanthanides are often mixed with more common metals to make what?
Lanthanides are often mixed with more common metals to make alloys. These alloys are known for their unique properties, such as high strength, high temperature resistance, and magnetic characteristics. One common example is the use of lanthanum in combination with iron and boron to make permanent magnets.
