Mini sculptures, medals and some musical instruments are made from bronze. Steel is used for construction of railways, bridges, roads, airports etc. It is also used for making household utensils and other products. Locks, door handles, door knobs, electrical appliances, zippers, musical instruments, decoration and gifting items are made from brass. Permanent magnets are made from alnico.
Solder is used to permanently join electrical components. Sterling silver is used to make surgical instruments, musical instruments, cutlery and pieces of jewellery. Alloys of aluminium are lightweight, therefore used for making bodies of aircrafts and their parts.
Alloys of titanium are extensively used in the aerospace industry because of their high temperature strength and superplastic behaviour. Amalgam which is an alloy of mercury, is used for medical activities. It is also used to fill tooth cavities. Certain alloys of gold such as rose gold, are used for jewellery making purposes. Many alloys that contain silver in their name usually do not contain silver as one of their constituent elements.
They are called 'silver' only because of their colour. Metal alloys are compounds of different metals, taking the desirable properties and leaving the undesirable ones behind. This creates a compound that is stronger than the parent material, which is pure metal. Pure metals are typically soft, so metals are taken and alloyed together to create a more durable compound. Metal alloys are made up of differing atoms, unlike pure metal, where the atoms are all the same. Name of Alloy. Composition of Alloy.
Uses of Alloy in Daily Life. Doorknobs, utensils, plumbing, musical instruments, zippers, electronics, tools, boats, decorative items, etc.
Marine fittings and fixtures, electrical connectors, medals, bells, etc. Sterling Silver. Jewelry, utensils, art, coin, medals, photography, electrical, surgical and medical instruments, etc.
Bell Metal. Bells casting and statue construction. Stainless steel. Utensils, surgical instruments, watches, construction, etc. Coin Metal. Making of coins. This is why the combination of elements within each alloy is so important to achieve the required properties demanded by applications within the oil and gas industry. Its carefully controlled composition gives it the necessary resistance to these kinds of corrosive environments.
Combined with the molybdenum 2. The molybdenum itself is included to help with resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, and the titanium when heat treated stabilises the alloy against sensitisation to intergranular corrosion. The high chromium content Despite its more economical price, this alloy still relies on a combination of elements to give it corrosion resistance, high strength and good fabricability.
The inclusion of molybdenum 6. The chromium also resists against oxidising media. This gives the alloy good performance in mixed acid environments, which is useful in the oil and gas industry.
In the oil and gas industry, where high temperatures and corrosive environments are expected, no one pure metal would offer the blend of properties needed to manufacture parts that can withstand everything that is thrown at it.
