Lead (Pb)

- High density - Low strength - Low melting temperature - Ductile

- Poor conductance of electricity - Good resistance to acids - Low creep and fatigue resistance - Excellent corrosion resistance

Plumbing

Radiation Shielding

Roofing Materials

Sheathing Material

Coolant

Glass

 Antimony and Copper - increases hardness - increases resistance to corrosion

Cadmium, Tin, and Tellurium - increases hardness - resistance to metal fatigue

Steel - improves ductility

 Has high corrosion resistance to sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid Attacked by nitric acid and acetic acid

Tin (Sn)

Malleable Ductile Non-toxic Corrosion resistance

Food Packaging

Solder

- Named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth from the Titans of the Greek mythology - Occurs within a number of mineral deposits, principally rutile and ilmenite - alloys of titanium are of three metallurgical types: alpha, alpha-beta, and beta, with these designations referring to the predominant phases present in the microstructure

Relatively low density High melting point Strong Lightweight Corrosion resistance Yield strength of 425 MPa Mechanical properties retained up to 4800 0C Low electrical and thermal conductivity Biocompatible

 High cost Fabrication difficulties Reactivity at elevated temperatures

 Resistance to chloride solutions Alloying with palladium (15 %) increases corrosion resistance In spite of this high temperature reactivity, the corrosion resistance of titanium alloys at normal temperatures is unusually high; they are virtually immune to air, marine, and a variety of industrial environments.

- group of eight elements that have some physical characteristics in common - superior or notable properties - include silver, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, and ruthenium - Precious Metals

 Soft Ductile Oxidation resistant

- Latin argentum - occurs naturally in its pure, free form (native silver), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite - mostly produced as a by-product of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining

 highest electrical and thermal conductivity among all the metals lowest contact resistance of all metals resistant to alkalis and many hot organic acids also shows fair resistance to aqueous solutions of the halogen acids low mechanical strength

- Latin aurum - occurs as very small to microscopic particles embedded in rock, often together with quartz or sulfide minerals such as "Fool's Gold", which is a pyrite

most malleable metal good thermal and electrical conductivity strongly reflects infrared radiation chemically, unaffected by air, moisture and most corrosive reagents

 highly resistant to attack by dilute nitric acid and hot concentrated sulphuric acid can be dissolved by aqua regia (a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulphuric acid) can be attacked by chlorine and bromine forms an amalgam with mercury

- Spanish platina - an extremely rare metal, occurring at a concentration of only 0.005 ppm in the Earths crust

high resistance to oxidation at high temperature most ductile of all metals resistance to wear and tarnish resistance to corrosion stable electrical properties

 does not oxidize at any temperature corroded by halogens, cyanides, sulfur, and caustic alkalis insoluble in hydrochloric and nitric acid, but dissolves in hot aqua regia to form chloroplatinic acid, H2PtCl6
