<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Metallic&#039;&#039;&#039; refers to substances that exhibit the properties of metals. These properties include high electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, ductility, and a characteristic luster. Metals are typically solid at room temperature, with the exception of mercury, which is liquid.<br /> ==Properties of Metallic Substances==<br /> Metallic substances are characterized by their unique set of properties:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Electrical Conductivity&#039;&#039;&#039;: Metals are excellent conductors of electricity due to the presence of free electrons that can move easily through the lattice structure.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Thermal Conductivity&#039;&#039;&#039;: Metals can efficiently transfer heat, making them useful in applications requiring heat dissipation.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Malleability and Ductility&#039;&#039;&#039;: Metals can be hammered into thin sheets (malleability) or drawn into wires (ductility) without breaking.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Luster&#039;&#039;&#039;: Metals have a shiny appearance due to their ability to reflect light.<br /> ==Types of Metals==<br /> Metals can be broadly classified into two categories:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Ferrous metals]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: These metals contain iron. Examples include [[steel]] and [[cast iron]].<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Non-ferrous metals]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: These metals do not contain iron. Examples include [[aluminum]], [[copper]], and [[zinc]].<br /> ==Applications of Metals==<br /> Metals are used in a wide range of applications due to their versatile properties:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Construction&#039;&#039;&#039;: Metals like steel and aluminum are used in building structures, bridges, and infrastructure.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Electronics&#039;&#039;&#039;: Metals such as copper and gold are used in electrical wiring and components.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Transportation&#039;&#039;&#039;: Metals are used in the manufacturing of vehicles, aircraft, and ships.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Jewelry&#039;&#039;&#039;: Precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum are used in making jewelry.<br /> ==Related Concepts==<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Alloy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: A mixture of two or more elements, where at least one is a metal, to enhance properties.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Corrosion]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: The process by which metals deteriorate due to chemical reactions with their environment.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Metallurgy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;: The science and technology of extracting metals from their ores and modifying the metals for use.<br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Metal]]<br /> * [[Alloy]]<br /> * [[Ferrous metals]]<br /> * [[Non-ferrous metals]]<br /> * [[Metallurgy]]<br /> * [[Corrosion]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Metals]]<br /> [[Category:Materials science]]<br /> [[Category:Engineering]]<br /> {{materials-stub}}</div>
