Uses & Benefits
- Currently known uses of Hassium metal are limited to research purpose only.
  
- Magnesium aluminum alloy improves the mechanical strength and welding characteristics and hence it is used in aeroplane and car manufacturing.
-
It is also used to remove sulfur from the molten iron and steel.
