Any alloy of iron mixed with a small amount of carbon to increase its strength or malleability is called Steel.

<h3>Why we use alloy ?</h3>

The most common reason for alloying is to increase the strength of a metal. This requires that barriers to slip be distributed uniformly throughout the crystalline grains. On the finest scale, this is done by dissolving alloying agents in the metal matrix (a procedure known as solid solution hardening).

It increases tensile strength also. Hardness, hardenability and resistance to wear. It decreases tendency toward scaling and distortion. It increases the rate of carbon-penetration in carburizing.

<h3>How to make Alloy? </h3>

Alloys are made by mixing two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal. This is usually called the primary metal or the base metal, and the name of this metal may also be the name of the alloy.

insulator- noun: insulator; plural noun: insulators

a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.  "cotton is a poor insulator"  a substance or device which does not readily conduct electricity.  a block of material, typically glass or ceramic, enclosing a wire carrying an electric current where it crosses a support.

semiconductor- noun: semiconductor; plural noun: semiconductors  a solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits.

How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size? <br> (ASTRONOMY)
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The correct answer - The Gas giants are much much larger in size.

Explanation:

There are two distinct types of planets that are four rocky planets and four gas giants plants. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are four rocky planets, and Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter are four gas giants.

The Gas giants plants are much much larger in size in comparison to the rocky planets. It is because rocky planets have relatively low gravity than gas giants and were not able to attract large amounts of gas to their atmospheres.

Thus, the correct answer - The Gas giants are much much larger in size.
