Properties
Of Metallic Solid..!
Ferrous
Non ferrous
Metal.
Ferrous Mettals
All ferrous metals are magnetic and give
little resistance to corrosion.
E.g. Iron
Non-Ferrous Metals
Non-Ferrous Metals. These are metals
which do not contain any iron. They are not
magnetic and are usually more resistant to
corrosion than ferrous metals.
Examples are aluminum, copper, lead.
crystal structure
A crystal structure is
a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal.
composed of a unit cell,
a set of atoms arranged in a particular way
which is periodically repeated in three dimensions on a
lattice.
Metallic luster
Metallic luster is
for minerals that are opaque and reflective
The look of polished metal.
Some common examples are different pyrites, which
are used to make coins, gold nuggets, and copper.
Malleability
is
Thermal conductivity is
Measure of the ability of a material to transfer heat.
Given two surfaces on either side of the material with a
temperature difference between them.
the heat energy transferred per unit time and per unit
surface area, divided by the temperature difference.
Density
Density
Is mass per unit volume,
can be calculated by submerging it in a known amount of
water and measuring how much the water rises.
This rise is the volume of the metal.
Its mass can be measured using a scale. The unit for
density is gm/cm3.
Alloy Formations
Is the process of
Mixing of either pure or fairly pure chemical elements.
which forms an impure substance retains the characteristics of a
metal.
mixing two or more elements.
at least one of which being a metal.
This is usually called the primary metal or the base metal.
Emissivity
The emissivity
Is its effectiveness in emitting energy as thermal radiation.
Is Electromagnetic radiation and radiation, which is not visible
to human eyes.
The thermal radiation from very hot objects is easily visible to
the eye.
