Metals: Encyclopedia - Metal

In chemistry, a metal (Greek: Metallon) is an element that readily forms ions (cations) and has metallic bonds, and metals are sometimes described as a lattice of positive ions (cations) in a cloud of electrons. The metals are one of the three groups of elements as distinguished by their ionisation and bonding properties, along with the metalloids and nonmetals. On the periodic table, a diagonal line drawn from boron (B) to polonium (Po) separates the metals from the nonmetals. Elements on this line are metalloids, sometimes called semi-metals; elements to the lower left are metals ...

Metals: Encyclopedia - Alkali metal The alkali metals are the series of elements in Group 1 (IUPAC style) of the periodic table, excluding hydrogen: that is, lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). They are all highly reactive and are never found in elemental form in nature. The alkali metals are silver-colored, soft, low-density metals, which react readily with halogens to form ionic salts, and with water to form strongly alkaline (basic) hydroxides. These elements all ha ...

Metals: Encyclopedia II - Fabrication metal - Metal fabrication

Metal fabrication is a value added process that involves the construction of machines and structures from various raw materials. A fab shop will bid on a job, usually based on the engineering drawings, and if awarded the contract will build the product. Fabrication shops are employed by contractors, OEM's and VAR's.

Metals: Encyclopedia II - Punching - Metals

Punching in metal fabrication is the process of using a machine to press a shape through a sheet of metal and into a die to create that shape in the metal. This is most commonly done by use of a turret, a computer numerical controlled machine that houses tools and their corresponding dies in a revolving indexed turret. These machines use either hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical power to press the shape with enough force to cut the metal. A misconception about punching is that the shape does the cutting, when in fact the shape presses the material into a die that cuts the metal. The die is also given a tolerance that i ...

Metals: Encyclopedia - Celtic metal

Celtic metal is a sub-genre of black metal. Its focus is on Celtic mythology and instruments mixed with black metal. Celtic metal has developed a huge underground scene in Ireland, where pioneers like Cruachan, Geasa, Waylander and other such bands play.

Metals: Encyclopedia - Viking metal

Viking metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal. Traditionally this has been a much debated genre. Heavy metal counts an immense number of sub-genres ranging from the widely accepted thrash metal, death metal or black metal to the more obscure genres like norsecore, funeral doom or suicidal black metal. Many of these sub-genres are nothing more than, literally, a few bands that share similar characteristics. Such was also the case with Viking metal. Here, however the number of bands grew quite rapidly and many of them have gained undergrou ...

Metals: Encyclopedia - Base metal

A base metal is a common or at least inexpensive metal. Frequently, the term is used to refer to those that oxidize or corrode relatively easily, and react variably with dilute hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen. Examples include iron, nickel, lead and zinc. Copper is considered a base metal as it oxidizes relatively easily, although it does not react with HCl. Alchemists were concerned with the transmutation of b ...

Metals: Encyclopedia - Precious metal

A precious metal is a rare metallic chemical element of high, durable economic value. Chemically, the precious metals are less reactive than most elements, have high luster, and have higher melting points than other metals. Economically, the precious metals have been historically important as currency, and remain important as investment commodities. The best-known precious metals are gold and silver. While both have industrial uses, they are better known for their uses in art, jewelry, and coinage. Other precious metals ...

Metals: Encyclopedia - Alkaline earth metal

The alkaline earth metals are the series of elements in Group 2 (IUPAC style) of the periodic table: beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra) (not always considered due to its radioactivity and very short half-life). The alkaline earth metals are named after their oxides, the alkaline earths, whose old-fashioned names were beryllia, magnesia, lime, strontia and baryta. These were named alkaline earths because of their interm ...

Metals: Encyclopedia II - Metal music - History

Originally, the term "Heavy Metal" existed as the name that represented the whole of the Metal genre. Just as "rock and roll" used to represent all of rock.

To many fans of the genre the term "Heavy Metal" now represents the dawning of metal, being attached to bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. It is not unusual for this term to be used with newer bands, though this is usually attached to bands who follow s ...
