Advantages And Disadvantages Of Silicon Alloy

For the industries the larger equipment is used which is made up of metal or ceramics.

* Copper, gold and aluminum are all alloyed with other metals to make them harder.

As for metal, it has many uses. In fact, modern civilization has thrived off of things where iron is used like: buildings, car frames, bridges, and much more.

Like the Reynolds X100, 7005 Aluminum is an aluminum alloy but consisting of Zinc and Magnesium. Due to its cost and inconvenience of heat treating, 7005 aluminum has gained considerable popularity with smaller companies.

Alcoa created its aluminum using a process called Hall-Herould through electrolysis since aluminum is highly reactive, as I have mentioned before, and for this requires a high amount of energy. A single aluminum plant uses as much electricity as the city of Tacoma. The company is spending millions of dollars researching ways to use less power. It, however, still takes an average of 16,232 kilowatt hours to turn out a ton of aluminum, if we are to compare to another product, for instance steel would only need 77 for a ton. However, there is a reason to why Alcoa Intalco Works stays purely with aluminum as Isaac Bonell, a writer for The Bellingham Business Journal pointed out that “Aluminum is needed to build infrastructure, to manufacture cars and airplanes, to make high-tech medical equipment and to package your favorite chilled beverage. In the smelting industry, there is no shortage of customers.” Last year, on August 2016, the facility celebrated its 50th birthday in operation which was bittersweet because they were discussing shutting down some of their potlines again which mean layoff of over 400 employees as well. Unfortunately, energy crisis was not the only problem here but had to do with the global market prices of aluminum which makes Intalco unprofitable.

Copper is basic element with the sign on the periodic Cu. Copper is one of best conductors of all metals. It is second only to silver in its conductivity. “Its abundance tied the world together in telecommunication,” (Wojes par. 1); it has tied us together in communication because it is used in most electronic devices such as cell phones and televisions, allowing us to power them and communicate with each other almost instantly. It is also used in jewelery, architecture, and plumbing.

The artwork Cubi XIX by David Smith is an art piece that contain the characteristics of materials and mass produced procedures. The artwork can be found on page 754 of the textbook. Industrial materials and mass produced procedures refers to tools, equipments, or simply anything that was not by hands. An example of an mass produced procedure is the assembly line where things are manufactured in mass number. Smith used simple geometrical form of cubes, cylinders, and rectangular bars to create his sculpture.

Lithium is the third element in the periodic table, with 3 protons and the element symbol Li. Lithium is an alkali metal. . The name for lithium comes from Greek lithos which means stone. Lithium does not occur free in nature but it is found in nearly all igneous rocks and in mineral springs. Pure lithium metal is corrosive. If lithium did not react with water, which it does, it would float. Lithium is used in medicine, as a heat transfer agent. Lithium is used to transfer heat from one object to the next. Some things lithium is used in are glasses, organic compounds, and ceramics. Because it is such a good conductor of electricity, it is used in batteries as well. It’s also used for making alloys; examples of alloys are brass, bronze, 14k gold, and sterling silver. Lithium is a metal that is used to impart a red color to fireworks.

Tungsten is applied to different metals for a variety of uses. In applications where strong steels are needed, tungsten can be added in higher and lower quantities based on need to increase strength due to its increased durability. Some common uses for the material are electron television tubes, filaments in electric lamps, winding/heating elements for electric furnaces, missile/ high temperature applications, and high speed tool steels to name a

Die forging is similar, but uses a thicker piece of metal that is heated in a furnace to the point of pliability and stamped with a heavy tool die. This process was geared towards heavier badges with 3D designs. The reverse image is unique and will typically appear flaw or slightly hollow. Die casting is when molten metal is inserted into a closed die. After cooling, it is removed and finished by hand. Die cast medals usually contain a hook or hinge that connects to a

Alchemy is mainly sought to turn any worthless metal like tin, lead, etc. into valuable metals such as silver or gold.

Over 2/3 of all aluminum ever created is still in use. Most of the 1/3 not still in use is aluminum cans in landfills.

Since the element is resistant to corrosion from things such as sea water and chlorine, it is often found being used in the industrial world. One of the most common places that Titanium is found is in desalination plants, which convert sea water into drinking water. The element is used in heat exchangers; if the heat exchangers were made of a different element they would need to be replaced more often due to corrosion. A very strong alloy is produced when Titanium is combined with iron, aluminum, vanadium, and molybdenum. This alloy is found in large items such as: jet engines, missiles, spacecraft, military equipment, and even automobiles. The alloy is also used in many things that we are known to love. Americans usually carry items with them everyday that are made up of this alloy. For example, right now in my car I have many items that are made up of the alloy such as: jewelry, a cell phone, and a football helmet grill (History of Titanium).

Tinny stiff segments for example net or fins can be with no trouble machined without distorting the part.

Aluminum is abundant metal in the Earth and has many features such as, corrosion resistant, lightweight, excellent electrical conductors, and easily tailored. Aluminum trade depends on international official prices in the global metal exchange. Realizing the golden features in the aluminum industry, AlEsra was founded in 1990 in AlMadinah, Saudi Arabia as a private limited company (Ltd). AlEsra is an aluminum manufacturing and casting company; was established with a 500 square meter factory, with 22 working staff, led by its founder, Mr. Ayman Samaren. In 2007 AEF launched a new line of hydraulic press sheet door systems. It provides the availability of variety in designs and colors. In 2010 AEF received a certification from The
