When almost all impurities are removed from a metal, it usually exhibits unexpected properties. Many metals are now purified in the search for new materials to meet the demands of technology ...
Many pure metals are too soft for many uses. They can be made harder by adding another element to the pure metal, so forming an alloy. This explains why an alloy often has more uses than the pure ...
Pure metals possess few important physical and metallic properties, such as melting point, boiling point, density, specific gravity, high malleability, ductility, and heat and electrical conductivity.
