Concept explainers
To identify: Three alloys at home and to describe the use and properties of each alloy.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An alloy is a mixture of metals.
Three different alloys, their use and their properties are:
- Gold − Alloy of gold and copper.
- Steel − Alloy of iron and carbon.
- Solder − Alloy of tin, silver and copper.
a. Use − Connects electronic components.
b. Property −
Conductivity of alloys.
a. Use −To make jewelries.
b. Property − Can be bent depending upon the percentage of copper. Gold with lower percentage of copper is bent easily while gold with higher percentage of copper is not bent easily.
a. Use − To make cooking utensils.
b. Property − The great strength of alloys.
Conclusion:
Alloys enhance performance and characteristics of metals according to the required use.
