Lure of precious metals: Precious metals were a major pull factor for the west because everybody was looking for the opportunity to become wealthy individuals which was known as the American dream at that time. Gold and silver was the metals that every single person was looking for in the westward expansion‚ immigrants and citizens were willing to kill to get their hands on any gold or silver mine. The killing‚ weirdly enough‚ was mostly was the removal of Indians. The India wars: War was inedible

Chemical Prperties of Metals Most metals are chemically reactive‚ reacting with oxygen in the air to form oxides over changing timescales (for example iron rusts over years and potassium burns in seconds). The alkali metals react quickest followed by the alkaline earth metals‚ found in the leftmost two groups of the periodic table. Examples: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O (sodium oxide) 2Ca + O2 → 2CaO (calcium oxide) 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3 (aluminium oxide) The transition metals take much longer to

Purpose: In this lab‚ we will heat up a metal rod and measure how much it expands. We will calculate its Coefficient of Linear Expansion‚ α‚ and prove the formula for thermal expansion‚ ΔL = αLiΔT. Also‚ we heat up a known volume of methyl alcohol and calculate its Coefficient of Volume Expansion‚ β‚ and prove the formula for volume expansion of a liquid ΔV = βViΔT. Equipment: Hollow Metal Rods of different metals‚ Steam Generator‚ Stand‚ Burner‚ Flexible Hoses‚ Motion Amplifier‚ Micrometer

Extrusion is the process by which a block/billet of metal is reduced in cross section by forcing it to flow through a die orifice under high pressure. • In general‚ extrusion is used to produce cylindrical bars or hollow tubes or for the starting stock for drawn rod‚ cold extrusion or forged products. • Most metals are hot extruded due to large amount of forces required in extrusion. Complex shape can be extruded from the more readily extrudable metals such as aluminium. * The products obtained are also

STRENGTHENING OF METALS There are 4 major ways to strengthen metals‚ and all work because they make dislocation motion more difficult. They also reduce the ductility: 1) Cold work (Strain Hardening) 2) Reduce grain size (Strengthening by Grain Size Reduction) 3) Add other elements in solid solution (Solid Solution Strengthening) 4) Add second phase particles (Precipitation or Age Hardening) • These mechanisms may be combined. • For example‚ the world’s strongest structural material (with

Cause of heavy traffic Introduction: Picture this: You get up and go to work at 8 in the morning. When you get to I-285‚ I-85‚ or 141‚ you hit the rush hour traffic. You look into the cars around you; you can see people eating his Mc Chicken. Or someone¡¯s talking on his cell phone. You can even see some ladies putting her make-up on. Besides looking at all these funny people‚ have you ever wonder why there is so much traffic? We normally go at least 60 miles per hour on a highway. There

I. BACKGROUND Precious metals and gemstones have been a popular investment vehicle especially in Asian countries and on the part of those who are constantly moving from one country to another. Asians have a special fondness for them because precious metals and gemstones have enabled them to survive hard times most especially when the super power waged their wars on our shores. Another reason for this is the presence of many gold deposits and mines in our country
