Interpretation: To describe the widely used two alloys.
Concept Introduction: Alloy is made by fusing two or more metallic elements together, particularly to increase strength or corrosion resistance.
Answer to Problem 25LC
Brass as well as carbon steel, are the most widely used and well-known alloys.
Explanation of Solution
Two alloys are brass and carbon steel. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Uses of brass:
Brass is still frequently used in products like locks, hinges, electrical connectors, and sockets wherein corrosion resistance but also low friction materials were necessary.
Carbon steel
An iron-carbon alloy called carbon steel contains up to 2.1 weight percent of carbon. Although manganese is frequently present, there is no minimum stipulated concentration of additional alloying elements for carbon steels.
Uses of carbon steel:
Gears made of carbon steel can bear more force than gears made of stainless steel. Kitchen knives, springs, fasteners, and other common items are made of carbon steel.
