6.22 What are the two main types of high-speed steel? The two main types of high-speed steel are tungsten and molybdenum 6.25 Identify some of the properties for which aluminum is noted? Some of aluminum’s properties noted are its high electrical & thermal conductivity, it is easily formable, light, abundant, and corrosion resistant. 6.31 What are some of the important applications of nickel? Nickel’s corrosion-resistant characteristics are why it is often used as an alloying element in steel, such as stainless steel, and as a plating metal on other metals such as plain carbon steel. Its alloys are commercially important because of their corrosion resistance and performance in high temperatures. 6.38 What is so special about the superalloys?
