Metal materials usually contain one or more metallic elements (e.g., iron, aluminium, copper, chromium, titanium, gold, nickel), and some also contain nonmetallic elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) in relatively small amounts. The unique feature of metals is the presence of charge carriers, specifically electrons. This feature is given by the nature of metallic bond. The electrical and thermal conductivities of metals originate from the fact that their outer electrons are delocalized. Therefore, metal materials are characterized by their malleability, ductility, and high thermal and electrical conductivity, which make them ideal materials for a wide range of applications, from structural components and machinery to electrical wiring and electronic devices.
Compared to metal materials containing pure metals, complex alloys have enhanced strength, better corrosion resistance, lower costs, and better thermal stability. In addition to pure metals and alloys, specialized products such as evaporation materials and metal shot/granules further extend the functionality of metals. Evaporation materials such as metals, oxides, iodides, and nitrides are processed through thin-film deposition to create coatings with precise optical and electronic properties. Metal shot/granules are abrasive media employed in shot blasting to improve the surface finish and durability of components.
Diverse metal materials are integral to advancements across a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and electronics to aerospace and construction. Amerigo Scientific provides high-quality metal materials as well as foil, sheet, plate, wire, rod, and fabricated and sintered parts made from metals or alloys.
