The Four Different Types of Metals and Their Contribution to Metallurgy

The earth is indeed an amazing and perfect place to live. It has the things that are necessary for us to survive. It provides with the enough resources for our needs. There is no place like earth. Humans are the highest level of organism living on this planet. We are even termed as the stewards of this place. Although plants and animals are also considered as living organisms, humans are given the chance and the will to utilize the natural resources that can be found on earth.

These natural resources include plants, wood and minerals. Metal is one of the oldest minerals on this planet. It has been used in different reasons. During the early civilizations metal has been used as a weapon. It is very much known for its hardness and durability.

Most of the people nowadays are confused about the properties and functions of metal. Metal is not just actually iron. There are different types of metals that can be found on the surface of the earth and even on its inner core. The different types of metals have their own characteristics and properties.

The most expensive type of metal is gold. Gold has been one of the finest materials used in making jewelries. Gold has become the sign of wealth for most of the people. It could be found on the crust of the earth. The process of extracting gold from ordinary rocks is very difficult. It would take time before you can have it as jewelry. During the early periods the main significance of gold is for decoration. Gold is also very popular to be the most malleable of all the metals.

Next to the value of gold is silver. Silver has been also used as a form of jewelry. It can be made into anklets, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings. However unlike gold, silver has a lower value in terms of money. The presence of silver rarely occurs, however it is the most active of all the metals. You will know more about the properties of metals using a periodic table.

The third and unusual type of metal is mercury. It is the only metal that can be found on the earth which is purely liquid at a room temperature. Mercury has been noted to be the most dangerous type of all metals. The main process used to extract mercury is through distillation. It is also used during the extraction of gold because of its capacity to attract gold.

The last type of metal is iron. Iron became synonymous of metal for some individuals. It is because they thought that the main property of characteristics of metal is its hardness. Iron is the most useful and valuable type of metal. It is often used to create nails, construction equipments and railings. Iron is very versatile in terms of making things out of it because of its malleability. The history of metallurgy can be fully traced using the periodic table of elements. It will provide you the basic knowledge about how metals became useful to humans.

Strength Defies Size
DEWALT has optimized both of these tools to withstand daily jobsite wear and tear. The compact drill/driver’s two-speed (0-600 RPM and 0-2,000 RPM) transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the task at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current drill/drivers on the market. Its high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 350 unit watts out of maximum power for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. Plus, DEWALT’s engineering and design team adjusted the drill/driver’s footprint and weight allocation for ideal balance and a lightweight feel, making the 3.4-pound tool easy to maneuver in tight areas. Meanwhile, the impact driver’s robust motor delivers 2,800 RPM—up to 43 percent faster than current impact drivers on the market. Its one-handed loading 1/4-inch hex chuck accepts and holds 1-inch bit tips for convenient fastening in tight spaces. Research shows that impact drivers are growing in popularity largely because of their smaller size and lack of kickback (or reactionary torque) thanks to the impact mechanism within the tool. Combined with its 5.55-inch length and 2.8-pound weight, the compact impact driver packs a serious punch in a small package.


Endurance and Ease of Use
DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into both tools’ switches to provide maximum life for the tools and batteries by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The- 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt lithium-ion battery technology, and the included Energy Star-qualified charger has dual voltage capabilities and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries. The tools’ slim handles fit easily into users’ hands, increasing the level of comfort during the course of long jobs, and the bright built-in LED work lights above the triggers have a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.
