-
tin
properties: malleable, ductile, corrosion resistance, a good electricity conductor
uses: solder, plating surfaces such as cars
zinc
properties: brittle, yet malleable, corrosion resistance
uses: galvanise steel
-
aluminium
properties: lightweight, ductile, resists corrosion uses: bike frames, drink cans, takeaways trays
ferrous metals
-
cast iron
properties: hard but brittle, resists deformation and rust
uses: kitchen pans, machine bases, manhole covers
low carbon/mild steel
properties: tough, ductile, rust easily if not protected
uses: car bodies, steel buildings, frames, pipelines
