Metals In The Plant Flashcards
A metals ability to change shape or be distorted without breaking is called what?
Malleability or ductility
Ductility combined with strength is called what?
Toughness
The ability of a metal to return to its original shape being deformed is called what?
Elasticity
Metals such as iron, nickel, and cobalt have natural magnetic properties, the are known as what
Ferromagnetic metals.
Some alloy metals exhibit excellent magnetic qualities. One such metal is .
Alnico- alloy of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt. Found in radio speakers magnets.
A solid and liquid can exist together at the melting point. Adding heat melts ice faster but doess not change the temp. The heat absorbed during melting is called .
Latent heat
What are alloys that contain iron as the basee metal to which other metals or nonmetals are added are called what?
Ferrous alloys. All common steels are ferrous.
The speed and ease with which a metal can be cut on a machine is called what?
Machinability
Malleability
Ability of a metal to be shaped when hammering
The ability of a metal to be stretched into thin wire without breaking is called what?
Its ductility. Ex. Copper, aluminum stranded wire.
The ability of a metal to withstand sudden shocks or high impact forces without fracturing or breaking is referwd to as what?
Its toughness. In general, softer metals are tougher than harder metals. Ex. Impact sockets.
The ability of a metal to be hammered into a thin sheet is called what?
Malleability. Most ductile metals are malleable.
A metals ability to resist deformation is referred to as
Its strength. Very dependent of the its cross sectional area. Newton law no.2 when two objects interact, they apply equal magnitude of force upon eachother but in opposite directions.
The maximum ammount of stress material can exert is called its’s ….
Yield shrength
The ability of a metal to resist being pulled apart is called its what?
Its tensile force.
