condctive
high melting point

24
Q

uses of cast iron

A

pans
machien parts
disc brakes

25
use of zinc
protects other metals galvanisign
26
why is zinc used in galavansiign
does not corrode
27
tin proeprties
soft conducitve malleabel ductile corrosive resit anti contamination low melting point
28
uses of tin
sodlering
29
proeprties of tungsten
very very tough very dense restiant to corrosion high tensile strength very durable stupid high metling point
30
what is tngsten in pure form
very soft
31
what is one of the hardest forms of tungsten
tngsten carbide
32
because fo tungstens strength when made in compounds what is it used for
high speed cuttign tools tups for ciruclar saws drill bits
33
giv some emtal alloys
bronze brass tungsten carbide
34
bronze proeprties
tough corrosive retsance can be cast harder than copper low friction coefficint high fatigue restance
35
uses of bronze
statues coins bearinings electrical products
36
what to always add on the end of a material
ALLOY
37
proeprties of brass
corrosion restatnce good thermal conductor low metling point elcrticla conducitve cast well
38
uses of brass
where low friction require insrtuments
39
why will most shit never be made of pure alimium
expensive not sutiable for structrual shit with other shit very good very good rpoerties in alloy form
