Differences between plastic and metal

Differences are listed below:

Explanation:

Weight: Plastic can weigh appreciably much less than than metal. A plastic part weighs approximately one-sixth of the same part in steel.

Chemical resistance:Plastic are much less likely to suffer chemical attack and don not corrode.

Machinability: Plastic are much more easier to cut through than metal.

Product life: The life span for plastic is longer than of the metals in many applications.

Cost: The cost of plastic raw materials is appreciably less than of the metals.

Heat: Plastic are less heat resistive than metals.

Ultraviolet light can degrade the plastics soon.

Strength: Metal provides more strength than the plastic.
