metallic materials

Metallic materials are substances made up of metal elements that have unique properties such as good electrical and thermal conductivity, strength, ductility, and the ability to be shaped or deformed without breaking. These materials typically have a shiny appearance and are malleable, meaning they can be pressed or hammered into different forms. Common metals include iron, aluminum, copper, and gold. They are widely used in building, manufacturing, electrical wiring, and jewelry due to their durability and versatility. The atomic structure of metals allows electrons to move freely, giving metals their characteristic conductive and malleable qualities.
