NO forum is "go nowhere". Useless, yes, but not go nowhere.

Carbon Fiber.

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

Sorry dudes. Neither of those are alloys. Aluminum is a metal and carbon fiber is a composite. Alloys are a mixture of metals like stainless steel or copper ferrite.

And btw, why the hell do the British (no offense) pronounce 'aluminum' like 'aluminium' (ah-loo-min-ee-um)? It's only got one 'i' in it.

Come to think of it, titanium graphite isn't an alloy either. Carbon is a nonmetallic element. Oops. http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/redface.gif

Sarge, every English-speaking country in the world apart from North America spells "aluminium" with two "i"s.

Yes, Selection (B) is correct- it's
"Zerk-sees" - A persian king AND one of
my favorite classical compositions (Handel of course)

Persian Kings didn't have REAL wierd names-
one is still used today. (Darius) It's not
as bad as say... Agamemnon or Nebuchadnezzar.

I've always liked white gold but not pure gold...
White gold contains 25% platinum or 12% palladium
Green Gold - contains 30 - 40% silver or silver plus cadmium and zinc
Yellow Gold - contains silver & copper.
Red Gold - contains a higher percentage of copper
