Alloys in robot construction

 An alloy is a material made of 2 metals

 It is used for structural purposes in robot construction
 Examples: Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, Bronze is a combination of copper and some
other metal but commonly tin
 Aluminum alloys have the same density as steel, and generally half to two-thirds its strength

Properties of aluminum alloys

 Aluminum alloys do not rust, but can erode in some damp situations
 They can be polished to create a shiny surface

Kevlar as a material for robot exteriors

 Kevlar is a synthetic material used in bulletproof vests

 It can be used as a shell on robots that require safeguarding from extreme temperatures
 It does not melt or drip when exposed to hot environments

Plastics as a material for robot exteriors

 Plastics are polymers that are connected by long chains of duplicate subunits made of natural
compounds
 They tend to be waterproof, corrosion-free, and chemically safe from acids and bases
 They are excellent electrical insulators and relatively poor conductors of heat

Rubber and soft plastics as a material for robot exteriors

 They have seen a growing demand in commercial robots with flexible exteriors
 They are beneficial for robots that work with people to have delicate surfaces
  Robots with elastic bodies are ordinarily safer than those made from harder materials

Steel as a material for robot construction

 Steel is one of the materials utilized most frequently by robot builders

 It is a perfect choice if you’re building a robot that must stand unforgiving conditions
 It can be solidified to between 100,000 and 300,000 pound-force per square inch (psi) in
numerous cases
 If you plan to harden the steel, look for some with high carbon content

1. It is a well-known choice for robot exteriors because it can be polished to create a shiny
surface.

2. It is a synthetic type of material used in bulletproof vests.

3. As a group, it is waterproof, corrosion-free, and chemically safe from acids and bases.

4. It refers to an alloy of copper and zinc.

5. It provides the body of the robot with a tough and rugged covering.
6. This durable metal could be a perfect choice if you’re building a robot that must stand
unforgiving conditions.

7. It provides a human-like “skin” beneficial for robots that work on fragile surfaces.

8. It is a material that can be softened or dissolved by organic solvents. It can also be

made transparent, useful for making optical materials. 9. It is one of the materials used
most frequently by robot builders.
10. It is a heat-resistant material sewn into some clothing since it does not melt or drip
when exposed to hot environment.
