In Chemistry, a metal (Greek: Metallon) is an element that readily loses electrons to form

positive ions (cations) & has metalic bonds between metal atoms. They tend to be lustrous,
ductile, malleable, and good conductors of electricity.

One of the important material of

construction world is metal and its
sub products

Forms of Metals

Ferrous Metals Non-Ferrous Metals

An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements in solid solution in which the major component is a metal.

the aim of making alloys is generally to make them less brittle, harder, resistant to corrosion, or have a more desirable
colour.

Examples of alloys are steel (iron & carbon), brass (copper & zinc), bronze (copper & tin), and duralumin (aluminium &
copper). Alloys specially designed for highly demanding applications, such as jet engines, may contain more than ten
elements.

Thhe strength and resilience of metals has led to their frequent use in hugh-rise building and bridge construction, as well as
most vehicles, many appliances, tools, pipers, railroad tracks.
