ZIMSEC O Level Combined Science Notes: Metal and metal alloy properties and their construction uses
- Metals are popular construction materials
- They have properties that make them suited for making diverse structures
- They are ductile which means they can be pulled into wires
- They are malleable which means they can be hammering into different shapes such as sheets, rods, bars and tubes
- They are strong in tension and compression
- They can be alloyed with other metals and non-metals to produce a material with different properties
- Metals are used to make various structures
