Is Total Materia reliable? ›

The Total Materia data comes from reputable technical databases, global standards, scientific articles, manufacturers datasheets and actual characterization test data. The data is rigorously updated, verified, and validated by Total Materia engineers and materials specialists to ensure high accuracy.

The KEY to METALS database brings global metal properties together into one integrated and searchable database. Quick and easy access to mechanical properties, chemical composition, cross-reference tables, and more provide users with an unprecedented wealth of information.

- Heat treatment is widely popular option to change properties of alloys like hardness, ductility, tensile strength, etc without changing their primary composition. - For example, we can make steel more hard/soft simply by changing its heat treatment.

Metals like copper, lithium, and nickel entered the spotlight recently as high demand from new economic sectors has been transforming their markets. Propelled partly by the green energy revolution, we have seen increased investments and innovation in these metals to meet the growing demand for renewable energy.

Rhodium is the most valuable metal and exists within the platinum group of metals. It is used in jewelry for a final finish on white gold jewelry. It occurs in the very same ore in which gold and silver exist – only, in smaller quantities.

Titanium is called the future metal.

During the natural aging process, super-saturated alloying elements within the metal alloy form what are known as metal precipitates. These precipitates block dislocations in the metal, increasing the strength and hardness of a metal alloy while reducing its ductility.

These additions increase hardenability, corrosion resistance, toughness, and resistance to temperature fluctuations. Two of the strongest grades of steel are EN24T and T45 which are widely used across engineering, aeronautics, and motor sport due to their reliable mechanical properties.

The strength of steel remains essentially unchanged until about 600°F. The steel retains about 50% of its strength at 1100°F. The steel loses all of its capacity when it melts at about 2700°F. However, for design purposes, it is usually assumed that all capacity is lost at about 2200°F.

What are key facts about metals? ›

Most metals share the properties of being shiny, very dense, and having high melting points. Furthermore, they are ductile, malleable, and lustrous. Metals are also good conductors of heat and electricity.

metal, any of a class of substances characterized by high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as by malleability, ductility, and high reflectivity of light. Approximately three-quarters of all known chemical elements are metals.
