* Liberty Elementary School is a Blue Ribbon Award winner ( 2000 – 2001 ) and semi-finalists ( 2004 ), New York State winner of International Reading Award and ING Unsung Heroes Award ( 2004 ) for Karne Andreasen's " Turn on to Reading " program.

Atom probe has typically been employed in the chemical analysis of alloy systems at the atomic level.

It mixes with the other alkali metals ( except with lithium ), and the alloy with a molar distribution of 41 % caesium, 47 % potassium, and 12 % sodium has the lowest melting point of any known metal alloy, at.

Bronze has several characteristics that made it preferable as a construction material: although it is relatively expensive, does not always alloy well, and can result in a final product that is " spongy about the bore ", bronze is more flexible than iron and therefore less prone to bursting when exposed to high pressure ; cast iron cannon are less expensive and more durable generally than bronze and withstand being fired more times without deteriorating.

The heavy-metal used is most often a tungsten alloy but depleted uranium has also been used.

The alloy Galinstan ( 68. 5 % Ga, 21. 5 % In, 10 % Sn ) has an even lower melting point of.

The remaining 8. 33 % of the coin's weight ( 2. 826 g ) is copper ( an alloy known historically as crown gold which has long been used for English gold sovereigns ), which gives the Krugerrand a more orange appearance than silver-alloyed gold coins.

A very high specific gravity becomes very pronounced in native metals ; kamacite, an iron-nickel alloy common in iron meteorites has a specific gravity of 7. 9, and gold has an observed specific gravity between 15 and 19. 3.

Two examples are kamacite and taenite, which are found in iron meteorites ; these species differ by the amount of Ni in the alloy ; kamacite has less than 5 – 7 % nickel and it's a variety of native iron, whereas the nickel content of taenite ranges from 7 – 37 %.

Much effort has been placed on understanding the iron-carbon alloy system, which includes steels and cast irons.

The use of nickel ( as a natural meteoric nickel – iron alloy ) has been traced as far back as 3500 BC.

) Modern ammunition has a hardened lead core with a softer outer cladding or jacket, typically of an alloy of copper and nickel-cupro-nickel.

Polymer technology is considered one of the major advancements in revolver history because the frame has always been metal alloy and mostly one piece frame design.

The addition of tin — more expensive than lead — improves wetting properties of the alloy ; lead itself has poor wetting characteristics.

Brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, has been used since at least the 10th century BC.

Mu-metal has similar magnetic properties to permalloy but the addition of copper to the alloy increases the ductility and allows the metal to be drawn into wire.

Today, most metal-cored wicks use zinc or a zinc alloy, which has become the industry standard.

However, a new low cost magnet-Mn-Al alloy has been developed and is now dominating the low-cost magnets field.

When the nib alloy has been pressed thick it will result in a hard nib, while thinly pressed nibs are more flexible.

The current Stanley Cup, topped with a copy of the original bowl, is made of a silver and nickel alloy ; it has a height of 89. 54 centimetres ( 35. 25 inches ) and weighs 15. 5 kilograms ( 34. 5 lb / 2 st 6½ lb ).

Later the solid-drawn, central-fire cartridge case, made of one entire solid piece of tough hard metal, an alloy of copper, with a solid head of thicker metal, has been generally substituted.

Cast iron is iron or a ferrous alloy which has been heated until it liquefies, and is then poured into a mould to solidify.

The alloy constituents affect its colour when fractured: white cast iron has carbide impurities which allow cracks to pass straight through.

Apart from badging, Lasers sported a racey look, with a plastic panel in the place of a grille, a full rear lightbar, a bulge on the hood for 2. 0 L engined models ( not necessarily turbocharged ), and available stylish " lace " patterned alloy wheels.

It came in various trim levels which offered different features, for example, rhombus ( Diamond )- patterned red leather instead of the standard black leather or fabric seats, alloy wheels instead of steel wheels, or Fog-lights as an option.

A pusher shell made out of low density metal — such as aluminum, beryllium, or an alloy of the two metals ( aluminum being easier and safer to shape, and is two orders of magnitude cheaper ; beryllium for its high-neutron-reflective capability ) — may be needed.

Great variation exist between each set due to differences in make, size and shape, alloy used giving each kulintang set a unique pitch level, intervals and timbre.

On what Cayce writes, it seems that this alloy acted like a superconductor of magnetic energy fields, that when fashioned in a special shape configuration and under the influence of an electrical and-or magnetic energy pulsating at a certain frequency depending on the Earth location and the volume of the shape, this ship-shape was forced to accelerate in a certain direction given its shape.

A shape-memory alloy ( SMA, smart metal, memory metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy ) is an alloy that " remembers " its original, cold-forged shape: returning the pre-deformed shape by heating.

The shape of the curve depends on the material properties of the shape-memory alloy, such as the alloying.

Under normal circumstances, a shape-memory alloy " remembers " its high-temperature shape, but upon heating to recover the high-temperature shape, immediately " forgets " the low-temperature shape.

The frames of reading glasses have been made of shape-memory alloy as they can undergo large deformations in their high-temperature state and then instantly revert back to their original shape when the stress is removed.

There is another type of SMA, called a ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy ( FSMA ), that changes shape under strong magnetic fields.

The " training " dictates the shape that the alloy will remember when it is heated.

Due to an injury he suffered, much of his skull was replaced with an unbendable steel alloy by Jonas Harrow, giving his head a flattened shape.

Shape memory alloy is used for applications such as pipes, fasteners and vascular stents.

Instead of threading individual ferrite cores on wires, thin-film memory consisted of 4 micrometre thick dots of permalloy, an iron-nickel alloy, deposited on small glass plates by vacuum evaporation techniques and a mask.

Using sensors, LEDs, and shape memory alloy, Beesley constructs an interactive environment that responds to the actions of the audience, offering a vision of how buildings in the future might move, think and feel.

Another useful Heusler alloy is the class of materials known as ferromagnetic shape memory alloys.
