Some metal alloys are listed below. Carbon steel, brass, gray cast iron, platinum, stainless steel, titanium, magnesium, zinc, tool steel, aluminium, tungsten (tungsten)
Choose an alloy that is most suitable for the constructions mentioned below, giving at least one reason for your choices.
a) Internal combustion engine
b) Heat exchanger for steam
c) Turbine blade in a jet engine
d) Drilling
e) Low temperature container.
f) Fireworks
g) Combustion chamber that is used in an oxidizing high-temperature atmosphere.
a) Internal combustion engine- gray cast iron, alloy because its good wear resistance and low cost and also has good vibration damping characteristics
b) Heat exchanger for steam-Stainless steel, alloy because it is corrosion resistant to the steam and condensate
c) Turbine blade in a jet engine-titanium, alloy because it is light weight, strong, and easily fabricated very resistant to corrosion
d) Drilling-tool steel alloy, because it is very hard retains
its hardness at high temperature
it is wear resistant,
thus it will retain a sharp cutting edge
