Brass, a copper-zinc alloy prized for good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, is traditionally used for condenser/heat-exchanger tubes (iii). Stellite, a hard, wear- and corrosion-resistant cobalt-chromium(-tungsten) alloy, is used for surgical and cutting instruments (i) that must retain a sharp edge and resist corrosion from sterilisation. Lunar caustic is the traditional name for fused silver nitrate, ; besides its cauterising use, silver nitrate solutions were historically used to blacken and dye hair (iv), since reduced silver deposits darken the hair shaft. Calamine, a zinc-based preparation (zinc oxide/carbonate), is the acti …
