Types of alloys?

brass, steel and bronze are the most common alloys. they are made of: brass: 35% zinc and 65% copper - uses, musical instruments steel: 99% iron and 1% carbon - uses, tools, car bodies etc bronze: 87.5% copper and 12.5% tin - uses, boat hardware and screws etc some not so common alloys are alnico (aluminium and nickel and cobalt - used to make magnets) and stainless steel (18% chromium, 80.6% iron, 1% nickel and 0.4% carbon - used to make surgical tools and tableware and cookware.)


What are three advantages of some alloys when compared to pure metals?

Alloys are sometimes more useful than pure metals because alloys are stronger - or tougher (toughness is resistance to fracture). Pure metals tend to be softer than alloys and therefore tend to get dented, scratched, or broken/fractured more easily. Alloys are often lower cost than pure metals but not necessarily so. As an example, stainless steel is more expensive than pure iron.

In a modern industrial plant the most likely polyphase power system in use is a A. one-phase system. C. three-phase system. B. two-phase system. D. four-phase system.?

A "three-phase system" is a polyphase system having three phases. The term "polyphase system" just means a system having multiple phases. If it is used by itself, "a polyphase system" doesn't mean "a three-phase system".

What are the most common use of nonferrous alloys?

alloys are adding of certain metals with iron or steel in order to increase its individual properties.for example the knife which is commonly used in kitchens are in high danger of rusting due to the moisture content of air in kitchens,so certain mixture of zinc is plated on the knife to resist rust.this process is called galvanization
