________tend to have lower processing temperatures
Polymers
________ tend to be used as direct processing materials
Polymers
Metallic elements
Have 1,2,3 electrons in their outer shell
Electrons in metals
Are key to metallic bonds
Loosely bound to nucleus
Have free mobility
- thermal and electrical conductivity
- ductility-bend without breaking
Crystallization of Metal upon cooling
1) Molten-equally spaced
2) Nuclei begin grouping
3) crystal growth begins with more grouping
4) Formation of grains
Metal Alloys
Mixture of 2 or more metals
- Cast metals for crowns
- Amalgams
Stronger less ductile
Ductile
Atoms can slide
