Q

what are the uses of copper?

A

electrical wires and water pipes

17
Q

what are the uses of mild steel?

A

car body panels and wires

18
Q

what are the uses of high carbon steel?

A

tools and chisels

19
Q

what are the uses of low alloy steel?

A

construction, bridges, high speed tools

20
Q

what are the uses of stainless steel?

A

cutlery and sinks, chemical plants

21
Q

what are alloys?

A

mixture of metals where the metals are mixed physically but not chemically combined

22
Q

what are properties most alloys have?

A

strength
hardness
resistance to corrosion
extreme temps

23
Q

why are alloys harder than normal metals?

A

they have atoms of different size which distorts the regular arrangement of atoms and creates uneven layers making it harder to slide over each other

24
Q

why is limestone used in a blast furnace?

A

to remove impurities

25
Q

what is coke?

A

an impure form of carbon

26
Q

what happens in a blast furnace?

A

zone 1
- coke burns in the hot air forming carbon dioxide
zone 2
- at high temps more coke reacts with CO2 forming carbon monoxide
zone 3
- CO reduces iron oxide in the iron ore to form iron
- it will melt and collect at the bottom
- limestone is added and is decomposes to form calcium oxide
- slag which is calcium silicate collects at the bottom
