The transition metals are placed in the centre of the periodic table‚ between groups 2 and 3. They are generally hard and dense‚ and less reactive than the alkali metals. Iron‚ copper‚ silver and gold are important transition metals. The transition metals: overview The elements in the centre of the periodic table‚ between groups 2 and 3‚ are called the transition metals. Most of the commonly used metals are there‚ including iron‚ copper‚ silver and gold The transition metals Common properties

The alkali metals are found in group 1 of the Periodic table. They are very reactive metals and do not occur freely in nature. Alkali metals are malleable‚ ductile‚ and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Alkali metals can also explode if they are exposed to water. The Alkali metals are: lithium‚ sodium‚ potassium‚ rubidium‚ cesium‚ and francium. Lithium The mineral petalite‚ which contains lithium‚ was discovered by a Brazilian scientist named Jose Bonifacio towards the end of the

The Metal Injection Moulding process (MIM)‚ considered as a development of the Powder Injection Moulding (PIM)‚ became‚ over the years‚ a competitive manufacturing process for small components‚ offering an alternative to other processes‚ more expensive to create these parts. History of the technology The PIM process was at first developed in the 1930s in the USA. This process was originally intended for ceramics. Then‚ during the Second World War‚ metal powders appeared. The process of Metal

Heavy metal contamination occurs though all facets of life such as air‚ water‚ food‚ soil‚ and in everyday objects and occurrences. When heavy metals enter the air from factories emissions and smoke‚ it is exposed to the body‚ which mostly affect your skin and lungs such as Cadmium and Arsenic. Common water contaminates are Chromium and Thallium‚ Chromium can enter the water source usually through spills and leaks from power plants. Thallium like other metals occurs naturally in water but some areas

is made from hardened steel with sharp points at each end. Lines drawn with a scribe are far more accurate than a line drawn with a pencil or pen. A scriber is used to make sharp‚ clearly defined lines on metal. An Engineers Square consists of a metal blade set at 90 degrees to a solid metal block (the stock). Practical uses of an engineer square is a guide for a scriber when marking out lines at right-angles to the edge of the work and a guide to setting up or checking work to see if it’s squared
