Several lead alloys are widely used. Solder, an alloy that is nearly half lead and half tin, is a material with a relatively low melting point that is used to join electrical components, pipes and other metallic items. Type metal, an alloy of lead, tin and antimony, is a material used to make the type used in printing presses and plates. Babbit metal, another lead alloy, is used to reduce friction in bearings.

Metals are to the left of the stair-step line on the table.  They are good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, have metallic bonds, and have luster.

There is a HUGE amount of infomation on metallurgy out there, but if you want an interesting search, try searching out why the HUBBLE Space Telescope failed - there was some deformed metal and the reason the optics tests passed before launch is an interesting story about materials, optics and people.\n\nI'm a metallurgist, and of all the exotic materials it turns out steel has the greatest range of properties (from annealed iron all the way up to ball bearing steel and stainless).  Titanium is interesting stuff (good for corrosion and medium temps (500°F-1000°F), but aluminum can have the highest density-to-strength ratio.  Research on how tungsten filaments are made is interesting too.  \n\nMark Twain said that a metallurgy student would learn more making his own pocket knife by digging the ore out of the ground, refining it into steel, and fabricating the knife than he would by book learning - do you have a passion you're particularly interesting in?  Learning about something you're interested in is effortless.\n\nAnother optics subject of interest is what is currently going on in semiconductor photolithography - they are reaching the limits of what can be done with light and refractive materials (CaF lenses) and immersion lithography (see link below).

Tungsten (W) is a metal with a wide range of uses, the largest of which is as tungsten carbide in cemented carbides. Cemented carbides (also called hardmetals) are wear-resistant materials used by the metalworking, mining, and construction industries. Tungsten metal wires, electrodes, and/or contacts are used in lighting, electronic, electrical, heating, and welding applications.

copper is one of many "transiton metals" which means it is one of the elements in the middle-lower part of the periodic table - groups 3 to 12, also called the d-block because they have electrons that occupy d orbitals.  other transition metals include zinc, magnesium, mercury, iron, gold, silver - altogether there are 40 of them.\n\ncopper is shiny, red-orangish in color, and is a very good conductor of both heat and electricity.
