Tantalum has one of the highest melting points of all the elements on Earth. Its melting point sits at approximately 5,462 degrees Fahrenheit, which puts it behind only tungsten and rhenium as far as melting points are concerned. Thanks to its high melting point, it’s often used in everything from capacitors and vacuum furnaces to… 閱讀更多 »

鎢, which was first discovered about 350 years ago, is known for being one of the toughest elements found in nature. It’s extremely dense and is just about impossible to melt. Its strength and durability has helped people find all kinds of uses for it. Here are some other interesting facts about tungsten that you… 閱讀更多 »
The Differences Between Alloys and Composites
On the surface, alloys and composites have at least one big thing in common. Alloy and composite materials are both made up of a mixture of at least two components. Alloys and composites are also similar in that they exhibit different properties than the properties associated with the materials that are used to make them…. 閱讀更多 »
Where Was Vanadium First Found?
Vanadium may not be a well-known metal, but its characteristics make it an ideal choice for some projects. While vanadium has never enjoyed the popularity of some other metals, it has been around for at least two centuries and has been used commercially for decades. This is an overview of vanadium and its discovery. 釩… 閱讀更多 »
Here’s Why There is a Growing Demand for Lithium
Gold, silver, and copper have historically been considered some of the most precious metals on the planet. But the truth is that lithium is actually one of the most important metals to humans right now. You might not necessarily spend much time thinking about lithium—and you probably wouldn’t ask your significant other to buy you… 閱讀更多 »
金屬合金喺航空航天和軍事工業中起著至關重要的作用
就好似啲人想減肥一樣, 航空航天和軍事工業始終對使用更輕嘅金屬嚟製造其組件嘅諗法持開放態度,因為負載越輕, 所需嘅油耗更少, 從而節省資金. 如果有人能設計出羽毛噉輕嘅機, 佢哋將徹底改變航空旅行,… 閱讀更多 »
