Different compositions in Metals - Blog 8 - Yukta Yogeesh
27/August/2020 Metals are vast like ocean and studying the characters and properties takes ages. It is not that easy to differentiate those which look similar, leaving the chemical composition apart. Iron and steel sometimes look so similar and so is the case of brass and bronze. It might be so easy to define them based on the elements that are added to the parent metals to attain the other metal alloys, but one cannot so easily judge the metal purely based on the appearance or the visual aspect of it. It becomes easy if we understand the manufacture of these other elements that look so similar. In the case of iron and steel, if polished and laminated, both of them will look very similar, but one can perceive the difference based on the thickness, colour, grains at the section. Usually, the parent metals like iron and bronze are much thick, they expose the sections in a much native way and exhibit a rough/real/heavy nature. But the alloys of these...
