Can an alloy contain a nonmetallic element?
Lancenigo di Villorba (TV), Italy Do you want some examples? They are very elementar.... Do you know MILD STEEL? Generally, any iron-based wire show a bulk constituted on Mild Steel. This matter is an alloy IRON/CARBON....remember, Carbon is a NON-METALLIC ELEMENT. Do you know CAST IRON? Among the most diffused ones, they exist the GREY's CAST IRON or the Graphitic ones conatining important level of SILICON, another NON-METALLIC ELEMENT. I hope this helps you.
A silver smith has two alloys, one containing 30% silver and the other 50% silver.?
According to what you have written...If you have 800 grams of the second alloy, it will be 50% silver, therefore the answer would be 0 grams of 30% alloy 800 grams of 50% alloy But if the second alloy is actually 55% alloy then... x+(800-x)=800 original equation 55x+24000-30x=40000 assigned values to x due to alloys 25x=16000 simplified 25x/25=16000/25 divide to get rid of 25 x=640 answer 160 grams of 30% alloy 640 grams of 55% alloy
Hi Gaurav, I am Glad you asked me about this Question Mu metals is a nickel–iron soft magnetic alloy with very high permeability suitable for shielding sensitive electronic equipment against static or low-frequency magnetic fields. It has several compositions. One such composition is approximately 77% nickel, 16% iron, 5% copper and 2% chromium or molybdenum.More recently, mu-metal is considered to be ASTM A753 Alloy 4 and is composed of approximately 80% nickel, 5% molybdenum, small amounts of various other elements such as silicon, and the remaining 12 to 15% iron.Self-Adhesive magnetic screening foilMagnetic screening plate/sheet.Zero-Gauss-Chamber50dB RF and e-field shieldingFor mu metals i would Suggest you to Google it off their are many companies which sell relevant devices for mu metals.For Stainless Steel, Special Alloy, Titanium, AISI 4130 Vist @ Siddhagirimetal.com
brass can contain graphite (carbon) and a few other non metals like sulfur etc, for certain purposes.manganese is generally used as an alloying element in its own right. i cant think of anything using “pure” or even consisting mainly of manganese.steel contains sulfur, silicon, carbon, and a few other nonmetals for again, various purposes. some are unintentional and in large (0.01%!) amounts can have detrimental effects. carbon and silicon are the main two alloying elements.hydrogen. oxygen. phosphorous. boron. etc… the list goes on and on.
Copper itself is not magnetic or is only slightly magnetic (not big enough to see under normal situations). But it does interact with magnets and that's pretty important. It is this interaction with magnets that power plants use to generate the electricity we use every day. It also makes for a very, very impressive demonstration. copper wire suppliers
Stainless steel is a word that comprehends a huge range of steels with quite different properties, microstructures and compositions. Stainless steels can be divided into:Austenitic stainless steels (such as the well known AISI 316 or 18-10): steels with an FCC structure (usually called gamma-iron). Mostly non magnetic. Can become slightly ferr0-magnetic when heavily deformed.Ferritic stainless steels: BCC or delta-iron structure, ferro-magnetic (AISI 430 is the most common alloy of this category)Martensitic stainless steels: tetragonal body centered structure (deformed BCC), ferro-magnetic (AISI 410 is the most well known example).Dual phase or duplex stainless steels: mix of austenitic and ferritic , slightly ferro-magnetic .Precipitation hardening stainless steels: whose maximum of the mechanical properties are obtain from the precipitation of a second phase, they can be austenitic (17-10 PH) non magnetic, semi-austenitic (17-7 PH) slightly magnetic or martensitic (17-4 PH) magnetic.The different types are obtained by varying the composition and the heat treatments. Dividing the magnetic from the ferro-magnetic is relatively simple. Take a permanent magnet and bring it close to the material, if it sticks it is ferro-magnetic, if it doesn't it is non magnetic. People that machine steels use this trick quite often and don't quite appreciate austenitic steels since this characteristic impedes them to use magnetic fixtures to hold the piece in position during grinding for example.
Is non-ferrous metal non-magnetic?
Are you referring to aluminum? Pure aluminum is a silvery-white metal with many desirable characteristics. It is light, nontoxic (as the metal), nonmagnetic and nonsparking. It is easily formed, machined, and cast. Pure aluminum is soft and lacks strength, but alloys with small amounts of copper, magnesium, silicon, manganese, and other elements have very useful properties. Aluminum is an abundant element in the earth's crust, but it is not found free in nature. The Bayer process is used to refine aluminum from bauxite, an aluminum ore. Because of aluminum's mechanical and physical properties, it is an extremely convenient and widely used metal. Some Common Uses - Building & Construction Industry: door and window frames wall cladding, roofing, awnings Manufacture of Electrical Products: high tension power lines, wires, cables, busbars components for television, radios, refrigerators and air-conditioners Packaging & Containers: beverage cans, bottle tops foil wrap, foil semi-rigid containers Cooking Utensils: kettles and saucepans Aeronautical, Aviation & Automotive Industries: propellers airplane and vehicle body sheet gearboxes, motor parts Leisure Goods: tennis racquets, softball bats indoor and outdoor furniture --------------------------------------... Properties - very lightweight (about 1/3 the mass of an equivalent volume of steel or copper) but with alloying can become very strong. excellent thermal conductor excellent electrical conductor (on a weight-for-mass basis, aluminium will conduct more than twice as much electricity as copper) highly reflective to radiant energy in the electromagnetic spectrum highly corrosion resistant in air and water (including sea water) highly workable and can be formed into almost any structural shape non-magnetic non-toxic
What is the difference between magnetic and non magnetic steel?
Non-magnetic steel is an alloy containing nickel that prevents the atoms from forming a 'ferritic' structure that supports magnetic domains. Hence, it is non-magnetic. Usually, magnetic vs. non-magnetic is associated with stainless steel alloys. Most mild steel alloys do not contain enough other materials (chromium, nickel, carbon, silicon, etc.) to make them non-magnetic.
Electrical steels are also called as lamination steel or silicon steel . The main speciality of the steel is it has certain magnetic properties such as small hysteresis area ( Small energy dissipation per cycle, or low core loss) .The materials is manufactured in the form of cold rolled strips which are less than 2 mm . These strips forms laminations when they are stacked together .
