How Alloying Metals Improves Their Properties
Primary Effects of Alloying Elements on Metal Properties
Primary Effects of Alloying Elements on Metal Properties
It is very common for alloying elements to be added to certain metals in order to achieve specific characteristics required for an application. The inclusion of particular substances can change many properties ranging from strength to color to thermal conductivity.
What are the properties of steel?
The physical properties of steel include: high strength, low weight, durability, ductility and corrosive resistance. Steel offers great strength, even though it is light in weight. In fact, the ratio of strength to weight for steel is lower than any other building material.

What is rebar
Rebar usually will be built so the metal component is not visible within the structure. Rather, it will be buried within the concrete. It’s usually made with ribs rather than smoothly, allowing it to avoid slippage within its structure.

What is the difference between Iron and Steel?
The primary difference between iron and steel is that the former is a metal, whereas the latter is an alloy. Iron is simply a metal element that occurs naturally on Earth. In comparison, steel is a man-made alloy that’s made by mixing iron and carbon together

Is Aluminium a strong metal?
Aluminum is a fairly malleable metal, so you’re unlikely to find it on anyone’s list of strongest metals. However, it’s certainly stronger than many other materials

Why Laser Cutting Aluminium Isn’t Easy
When GF Laser started in business, over 10 years ago, the laser cutting of aluminium was something that was quite specialist. Some subcontract laser cutting companies wouldn’t even cut the material because of the fact that it tended to burr and was generally problematic to run

What Happens to Recycled Scrap Metal?
Scrap metal recycling is the process of reclaiming metals from manufactured items for use in new products. Collection is merely the first step in metal recycling; once recyclable metals have been collected, they will go through additional sorting and treatment before recycling begins.
