DIFF B/W COMPOSITION OF METALS - BLOG - 8

  

IRON AND BRONZE :

Bronze is an alloy of tin/copper. On the other hand, iron is a naturally occurring metal. One of the differences that can be seen between the two metals is that bronze is denser than iron.

While iron has a melting point of 1600 degrees Celsius, bronze has a melting point of 1000 degrees Celsius.

BRASS AND BRONZE:

Brass is any alloy of copper and zinc.Higher malleability than zinc or copper. 

Combinations of iron, aluminum, silicon & manganese make brass corrosion resistant.

Bronze is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper.

Hard and brittle. Melts at 950 centigrade but depends on amount of tin present.

STEEL AND STAINLESS:

Steel and Stainless steel both are metals and the common materials used in the world. They are widely used as commercial and consumer applications. Between steel and stainless steel the property varies in terms of strength, ductility, hardness, cost, etc.

STEEL AND CAST IRON:

Casting offers exceptional capacity for design detail, often eliminating the need for additional fabrication and assembly

While cast iron and steel may appear similar on the surface, they each have distinct advantages and disadvantages from production to application. 

STEEL AND WROUGHT IRON:

1.Wrought iron contains pure iron with a glassy material which is iron silicate while steel’s carbon content is also present.

2.Steel has more tensile strength and more vulnerability to corrosion than wrought iron with some exceptions.

3.Steel products require more intensive workmanship as compared to wrought iron.

METALS AND STEEL:

Metal – This is a chemical element made up of various opaque, fusible, ductile and lustrous substances, with some of the most commonly used metals being titanium, copper and nickel.

Steel – By contrast the metal, this is an alloy of iron that contains various amount of carbon content. As steel is an alloy, it is not a pure element and is, as a direct result, not actually a metal.

STEEL AND ALUMINIUM:

Aluminum is a very desirable metal because it is more malleable and elastic than steel. 

Aluminum can go places and create shapes that steel cannot, often forming deeper or more intricate spinings. 

While malleability is very important for manufacturing, aluminum’s greatest attribute is that it is corrosion resistant without any further treatment after it is spun.

STEEL AND ALLOY:

An Alloy - A homogeneous mixture of a metal with other types of elements. Most of the alloys are made artificially. However, some metals like electrum (alloy of gold and silver) occurs naturally. 

Steel - It is an alloy consisting of iron and carbon. It may also contain some other elements too apart from carbon and iron. Steel is made in the steel mills which are located in many parts of the world.
