Silicon is alloyed with aluminum for use in engines as the presence of silicon improves the metal’s castability. Silicon can enhance iron’s
magnetic properties. It is also an important component of steel, which it toughens.

Nickel is a versatile element and will alloy with most metals. Complete solid solubility exists between nickel and copper. Wide solubility ranges between iron, chromium, and nickel make possible many alloy combinations. Its high versatility, combined with its outstanding heat and corrosion resistance has led to its use in a diverse range of applications.

Molybdenum is primarily used as an alloying agent in steel. When added to steel in concentrations between 0.25% and 8%, molybdenum forms very high strength steels. Molybdenum also improves the strength of steel at high temperatures. When alloyed with nickel, molybdenum forms heat and corrosion resistant materials used in the chemical industry.

Lead is used to line tanks that store corrosive liquids and as a covering on some wires and cables to protect them from corrosion.
Lead’s high density makes it useful as a shield against X-ray and gamma-ray radiation. Most of the lead is used in the production on lead-acid
storage batteries.

Chrome metal is mainly used in the production of specialty alloys, nickel and cobalt -based alloys (super alloys) where low iron is required. Due
to their unique high temperature and corrosion resistance properties, these high performance alloys are used in the most critical environments,
such as aeronautic, oil & gas production, land based turbines, petrochemical and chemical processing.
