PURE METALS AND ALLOYS
Pure metals
-
The layers slide easy, making them malleable
Pure metals tend to be soft and easily shaped. This is due to their lattice structure and regular arrangement of particles.
-
Alloys
mixture of metals, producing a more useful material.
-
A mixture of two or more elements, where at least one of them is a metal
Types of alloys
-
-
Steels
-
by controlling the amount of carbon, properties can be changed.
high carbon steel => cheaper, strong, brittle
low carbon steel => malleable, doesn't shatter.
