How Cars Are Made

       Cars require a lot of different processes to make with a lot of different materials being needed to produce them. The main material needed to make a standard car is metal here is a list of the main kind of metals that cars are made off :
Iron
Manganese-steel alloy
Arsenic-solder
Niobium-high strength, low-alloy steel
Silver-electrical contacts
Magnesium-Aluminium alloy
Lead-battery
Chromium-plating
Cadmium-also plating
Nickel-plating, stainless steel
Copper-electrical wiring,radiator
Zinc-anti-corrosion plating
Germanium-diodes
Gallium-also diodes
Tin-solder
Aluminium-alloy
Vanadium-steel
Cobalt-also steel
Barium-engine lubricants
Strontium-steel
Tungsten-light filaments
Titanium-steel, paint
Molybdenum-engine lubricants, steel
Sodium-grease
and Calcium-oils and greases

Another key material needed in cars is fibreglass which is lightweight, extremely strong and robust material in some other cars, like the Jaguar wood has also been used in the making of the car. The most important part of any car is of course the engine, using either petrol or diesel for fuel, or electric cars which use electricity. Here is a video of how car engines are made.

All of these materials and fuels all come from everywhere around the world really.
