Many of the objects you use every day are metal or have metal parts. What are the characteristics of metals? What do they come from? Which are the most important? Let’s start with their properties. They are solid at room temperature, good conductors of heat and electricity, have good mechanical strength and are ductile and malleable.
To improve its properties, metals are combined together with other elements. The mixtures composed of two or more elements including at least one metal are called metal alloys. For example, steel is an iron-carbon alloy (metal + non-metal), and has a greater mechanical strength than iron, its main component. Brass is a copper-zinc alloy (metal + metal), and is harder than copper, its main component.
