1. In general‚ why have many different alloys been developed and used? Many different alloys have been developed and used due to the various properties they have when alloyed which increase their amount of uses. Properties such as increased tensile strength‚ the variation in melting point‚ malleability and luster are all properties that come as a result from alloyed metals. For example‚ carbon and manganese form an alloy called carbon steel‚ which is very hard and can therefore be used to make things

Pure aluminium is a relatively soft‚ silvery white metal. When exposed to air‚ a thin coating of Aluminium oxide gives it a dull lustre. It is three times less dense than water‚ and has great strength when alloyed‚ it doesnt rust and has high electrical conductivity‚ and Aluminium is also ductile‚ making it a very useful metal. Aluminium readily makes alloys with copper‚ zinc‚ magnesium‚ manganese and silicon. Aluminium foil is 92-99% pure aluminium. Other uses of aluminium alloys include computers

Shape Memory Metal The goal of the experiment was to heat the shape memory alloy to see if the metal will revert back to its original shape. In order to do so I needed a hair dryer with a low and high setting‚ and a shape memory paperclip. How I went to test this was I took the paper clip‚ straightened it out‚ and then heated the paper clip with the blow dryer. In order to obtain accurate results‚ I needed to do four trials with the blow dryer on the high setting‚ and one trial with the blow

Where It All Started Today Baseball is considered America ’s national pastime. American ’s began playing baseball on informal teams in the early 1800 ’s. At this time they had only local rules that differed from place to place. Also‚ at this time there were no official baseball bats for the players to use. Many used sticks as bats. That is where stick ball came from which is still played today. Baseball was based on the English game of rounders. Alexander Joy Cartwright of New York invented
