What is the difference between a ferro alloy and ferrous alloy?
360102
Ferro alloy is a composition of Fe ion with other element like as Si, for example FeSi2 is a ferro alloy, and ferrouse alloys are complex composition of Fe ion with other elements, for example Si, Al, Mn,...and it consists of a group of elements and various compositions.

Alloy.  The answer is alloy.  \nAn alloy is basically any homogeneous (same throughout) mixture of metals such as bronze, brass, and stainless steel.  Note that "homogeneous (same throughout) mixture" is the exact definition of a solution.

Ferromags are substances that are strongly attracted by a magnetic substance. Some ferromagnetic  metals are iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium and dysprosium. To generate electricity from ferromags, take two iron sheets 5 cm wide. rub both of them using a bar magnet only in one direction for about 10 minutes. This will impart magnetic properties to d iron sheet. Then u arrange the sheets in such a way that u feel d force of attraction between the sheets. take a copper wire. make a loop out of it. rotate d loop in d space between d sheets with a constant frequency. Voila electricity generated at d ends of d loop

Are you talking about steel? If so, each one has his own set of possible problems. Most of it depends on chemistry and what the end use is going to be. Take a look at ASTM and API specifications. You might find your answer there. A metallurgist can answer your question.

All materials that contain iron will rust, unless it contains very high amounts of carbon such as stainless steel that is. the simple answer to this question is all ferrous metals "rust" almost all others oxidise. oxidisation is caused when Oxygen and Water vapour attack the surface. the only natural metals that do not rust or oxidise are Gold and Silver. there are other exceptions too such as stainless steel but this is a man made alloy. A simple rule of thumb. if a magnet will stick to it. it will rust. another observation is when blood dries it goes a rust colour, this is because it contains high amounts of IRON

The most common magnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt. Alloys (mixtures) that contain one or more of those elements are usually magnetic (i.e. will stick to magnets).

An alloy is a combination, either in solution or compound, of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resulting material has metallic properties. An alloy with two components is called a binary alloy; one with three is a ternary alloy; one with four is a quaternary alloy. The resulting metallic substance generally has properties significantly different from those of its components.

Pennies can't rust.  The chemical composition isn't right.  Rust is Ferric oxide and ferric is iron.  A penny contains, primarily, copper.

Iron (like steel and certain alloys) contains atomic magnets or dipoles which can line up their 'magnetic axes' in a preferred direction.  In the magnetized state, all the magnetic axes will point in one specific direction, by which the iron filling will show polarity and hence be a magnet itself.\nWhen you heat the iron fillings, the high temperature makes the atoms to vibrate with increasing energy and this disturbs the dipoles and so the resultant magnetic axes point in their 'preferred' random directions, which keep changing due to the extra energy. If the iron fillings were magnetized before heating, all the magnetism would be lost. Magnetizing them after heating will not align the vigorously vibrating atomic magnets and rapidly changing magnetic axes.

Metals are shiny and are good conductors of heat and electric current. They are malleable and ductile.\nNon-metals are dull, and are poor conductors of heat and electric current. They're brittle and unmalleable.

Not sure about this particular alloy...but...adding small amounts of impurity to an alloy is often used as a method to improve the ease of "machinability" of alloys, i.e. how easy it is to cut them and shape them into useful forms.  This may be why silicon and manganese are added in this case.

Steel = Warships from 1890 to the present (United States Naval History).  Iron = American and Confederate armoured warships (ironclads)  See USS Monitors and CSS Merrimack(aslo known as CSS Virginia)\n\nBrass = Bullets for muskets, rifles, pistols, cannons, etc.\nBrass = Musical Instruments such as trumpets.

Well my man fatigue limit cannot tend to infinity... you joking??????? anyways non ferrous metals have higher fatigue limit coz no other metal corrodes as fast as iron.... got it?

it depends on the material, you could have FCC, BCC, HCP and many other crystal structures, with many different substances present dependent on the alloy

in order to be ferro magnetic a material must contain ferrous or translated from latin - Iron.  If it doesn't have iron then it can't be ferro-magnetic.  Iron is magnetic because of the fact that it has one valence electron in its outer orbit and is a metal.

A bit rusty, but here it goes - I beleive they subtract fro m the net magnetization. If some of the ions are anti-aligned it is called ferrimagnetic. If the ions anti-align completely it is called antiferrmagnetic.
