Making model alloys

In this activity, students use plasticine and sand to explore how adding other elements can alter the ductility of a metal.

The main production process for titanium metal is known as the Kroll Process. In this process, the main ore, known as rutile, is treated with chlorine...

From titanium implants to new superconducting alloys to useful metal compounds, we are increasingly dependent on metals. Without metals, modern civilisation would literally collapse. About 80%...
