E N D
Used in aluminium-scandium alloys for high-performance sports equipment, and components of aircraft and ballistic missiles Scandium Sc 35th most common element Hard and silvery
Titanium Ti 9th most common element Resistant to corrosion Used to make very light and strong alloys
Vanadium V Soft, ductile, resists corrosion Used to make very strong steel alloys
Chromium Cr Hard, resistant to corrosion Used in electroplating Used in stainless steel
Manganese Mn Very important in steel alloys Hard and brittle Large deposits as nodules on the ocean floor
Iron Fe (ferrum) 6th most abundant element in the universe Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, silicon or other metals Ferromagnetic
Cobalt Co Superalloys of cobalt are used to make turbines and jet engines Resist corrosion and wear Ferromagnetic
Nickel Ni Hard and ductile Ferromagnetic Used in alloys, especially stainless steel Used in rechargeable batteries and coins
Copper Cu (cuprum) High thermal and electrical conductivity Ductile Does not react with water Ancient use in weapons, coins Alloys include bronze, brass
Zinc Zn Fourth most commonly used metal Prehistoric use in ornaments Used in brass Used in batteries Diamagnetic Used to protect iron by galvanising
