traditional process for making metallic components begins with melting of the metal or alloy
casting
molten mass is poured into a mold
casting
mayerials that have a large number of non localized electrons
metals
highest electrical conductivity
silver
not a refractory metal
lead
behaves like iron
ferromagnetic
weakly magnetic
paramagnetic
not attracted/ repelled
diamagnetic
used in modern, super strong permanent magnets
neodymiun
give corrosion resistance
chromium
true about refractory metals
resistant to heat
super cooled liquids because they do nit crystallize when cooled
glass
principal component of the white wares
clay
employed at elevated temperature and often in reactive
refractories
used to wear, grind, or cut away other material; diamond, silicon, carbide
abrasive ceramics
