depends on the type of metal

Sorry I don't know any specific sites, but maybe I can give you a little more info to help you find info?\n\nUsually people use alloys because they have better properties than any of the metals it is made out of.  For example:\nstainless steel is iron with chromium in it.  It doesn't tarnish, rust or anything like that.\nbrass is copper and zinc

Are you talking about steel? If so, each one has his own set of possible problems. Most of it depends on chemistry and what the end use is going to be. Take a look at ASTM and API specifications. You might find your answer there. A metallurgist can answer your question.

metallic if it is bonded to another metal or ionic if it is bonded to a non-metal.

Some metallic and some non-metallic.\nLike Silicium... it it shiny, just like metals, but doesn't conduct electricity, just like non-metals.\nOr Carbon... it is not shiny and doesn't react with acids, like non-metals, but conduct electricity, like metals.

Obviously, an unreactive metal. Well, you can galvanise the zinc, or you can paint it (I'm serious).

The previous poster is right:  Gold is the most ductile metal.  "Since the cohesive forces are strong and the atoms do not become widely separated from each other during their rearrangement, the metal holds together while its shape is being changed."

yes, with an alloy or equal or lower melting point

It lacks the crystalline electron structure that elements like magnesium and iron have. Thus, it cannot align into electrical dipoles, and is not magnetic.

Magnesium and zinc are heavy metals , Gold is light , It does not corrode and is shiny too.It is malleable and Ductile !\nGold has several qualities that have made it exceptionally valuable throughout history. It is attractive in colour and brightness, durable to the point of virtual indestructibility, highly malleable, and usually found in nature in a comparatively pure form. \nSoft, lustrous, white silver was one of the first metals known to humans. Together with gold, iridium, palladium, and platinum, it is one of the group called precious metals. Silver ornaments and decorations have been found in royal tombs dating back as far as 4000 BC.Silver is somewhat harder than gold and is second only to gold in malleability and ductility.\nSame is with silver\nRegards,\nSidra

Position on the periodic table: metals on the left of the line, non-metals on the right but the ones next to the line can be metalloids.\n\nmetals - conduct electricity, have metallic luster, are maleable & ductile\nmetalloids - have some physical properties of metals but behave chemically like non-metals\nnon-metals - don't conduct electricity, not malleable & not ductile

Ferromagnesium minerals: silicates with iron and magnesium in their formula, dark colored and dense. Example includes hornblende. \nNonferromagnesium mineral: silicates with no iron or magnesium in their formula (calcium, sodium or potassium common), light colored. Example includes feldspar.

Silver has a higher reflective index than any other industry-related metal anhydride.  For economic purposes, titanium isn't used in most commercial labs.  However in some superconductors, the 0.003% difference is crucial.  Though it costs much more.

A ductile substance is easily pulled or stretched into a thin wire without breaking.\n\n"...gold is the most ductile metal and one gram of it can be drawn into a wire 2,300 meters long."\n\n"The order of ductility of some familiar metals is gold > silver > platinum > iron > copper > palladium > aluminum > zinc > tin > lead"

Magnesium will react with any gas except noble gases when heated, because of its low electronegativity. In vacuum or noble gas atmosphere it can be heated up to melting point of 625°C, just at or below red glow.\n\nWhile red or white hot iron will oxidize on the surface, the heat released by that process is not sufficient to start a chain reaction like in burning magnesium. The higher melting point of iron depends mostly on the crystal lattice of iron.
