1892. The ironing board was invented to make it easier for a person to iron clothes. Ironing was around for a long time before the ironing board was invented.

The aluminum 3104-H19 alloy also has some other important properties that make it a suitable material for pop cans. One of the most important properties this alloy has is corrosion resistance. This means that the aluminum alloy can hold a liquid for extended periods of time with no corrosion occurring. If the aluminum alloy was not corrosion resistance, the liquid contained inside would corrode the inner walls of the pop can and lead to eventual fail of the pop can. Due to the fact that this
How has the extraction of metals changed the course of history? Metal: Magnesium Magnesium is a metal that is both industrially and biologically important. It is the lightest structural metal that is currently available for us. Its other advantages include excellent fatigue, denting and damping resistance.
