Definition and Using of Metal

Metal is an element that has very large amount in this earth. There are variated metal which has it’s own characteristic and usefulness. Untill this time, there are 65 metals which formed naturally in earth, but there are few kind that can be used in the right path. There are about 20 kind of metals which can be used, stand alone or half from aloi (the mix from two kind of metals or more and another substance). Aloi is made to make metal which have the different characteristic previously, to use in maximal way. If you more curious with the various metal and the usefulness, let’s read this one, I will share about 20 kind of metals and 5 kind of alloys which is very well known.

1.Alumunium

Alumunium is metal with white silver colour which has very light characteristic and endure with corrotion. This metal proceed against from its seed, bauxite, with electrolysis process. Alumunium is used in electric cables in air line, airplane, ship, car, drink tin, and kitchen foil (food envelopment).

2. Steel

Steel is one of many alloy usually that we heard and meet. Steel has very important role in human life, why? Because steel is iron and carbon alloy that  one of few important material in industrial. We know, industrial influence the world in global. Baja secure from corrotion and the important use to space industrial.

3. Iron

Iron is the metal with white grey colour. This metal produce from melted haematite seed in spittle furnace. The usefulness is for building and engineering also to make steel alloy.

4. Gold

I’m sure you all know about this metal. Metal gold elements has soft characteristic and has bright yellow colour which is used  to jewelry and electronic equipment. Surely, gold is not easy to get in the market, because it is expensive and more expensive.

5. Potassium

Potassium is the light metal with silver colour also has reactive characteristic. Potassium compounds is used in chemical fertilizer and to make glass.

6. Calcium

This metal has white silver colour, easy to  characteristic formed appropriate with the founding place, in lime stone and lime. There is also calcium animal teeth. The usefulness of this metal usually to make cement and high steel quality.

7. Brass

Brass is an alloy made from copper and zinc. The usefulness is usually to ornate, screw, musical instrument and little nile.

8. Kupro-Nickel

It is an alloy that made from copper and nickel. The usefulness is to make metal money with silver colour.

9. Chromium

Chromium is a silver metal and has hard characteristic. It is usually used for make anticrrotion steel and cover another metal to protect and give shine refusing.

10. Magnesium.

It is a silver light metal which if burn it produce white fire flame. This metal is used in  rescuing sinal light and firework in light alloy.

11. Sodium

Natrium is very reactive metal. It has soft characteristic and i has colour silver white. There are sodium in kitchen salt and light road also in chemical industry.

12. Silver

Silver is a metal that easy to be formed, white grey colour. It is a hot conductor and a good elctric. This metal is used to make jewelry, silver equipment and photograph film.

13. Bronze

It is an alloy from copper and tin which known since ancient period. It has uncorrotion and easy to formed characteristics. In many state, bronze is used to make low price coin.

14. Platinum

This silver white metal is easy to form, is used yo make jewelry, electronic goods and as a catalyst.

15. Plutonium

This is a radioactive metals which is produced with uranium nuclear reactor and used in nuclear weapon.

16. Mercury

Mercury is a heavy  liquid metal. This liquid metal colour is white silver, and also poisonous. It is used in thermometer, toothpaste and in some detonator.

17. Zinc

It is a white blue metal which is took from mineral zinc blende (sfarelit). It is used to cover iron in order to keep it from corrosion (Galvanize). It also used in certain electric battery and in alloy like brass.

18. Solder

Alloy from tin and lead has low melted point and used to connect cables in electronic goods.

19. Copper

It is easy form, has florid colour that used to make electric cable, hot water tank, and brass, bronze and Kupro-nickle alloy.

20. Tin

A soft metal, easy to formed with white silver colour. It is used to gilt steel to stop corrotion in a bronze alloy, pewter (tin and timbel alloy)

21. Timbel

Heavy metal white blue colour, easy to formed and poisonous. It is took from galena minerals and used in battery, roof and X ray radiation shield.

22. Titanium

A strong metal, white colour and easy to formed. This metal endure with corrosion and used to alloy in outer space craft, airplane, and bike frame.

23.Uranium

A white silver metal, radioactive and used as a nuchlear energy source and also nuchlear weapon.

24.Vanadium

A hard metal, white and poisonous. It is used to raise the hardest steel alloy. A vanadium compound is used as catalyst to make sulphate acid.

25.Wolfram

A hard metal with white grey colour. It is used in filament lamp, in electronic goods and in steel alloy to make cutting equipment with sharp edge.

So, that’a all about this post that recite for the kind of metal and usefulness. If you want to ask something about this post, let’s comment in the comment box. It’s free bro hhaha. Thanks for visiting this blog.
