Some alloys are made by melting and mixing two or more metals.

Some compounds contribute to antioxidant defense by chelating transition metals and preventing them from catalyzing the production of free radicals in the cell.

Some small differences arise from the fact that it has a higher atomic mass and is more electropositive than other ( nonradioactive ) alkali metals.

Some metals ( notably aluminium and copper ) are seldom or never deposited by CVD.

Some common metals oxidize extremely rapidly in air.

Some resources of economic interests include gemstones, metals, and many minerals such as asbestos, perlite, mica, phosphates, zeolites, clay, pumice, quartz, and silica, as well as elements such as sulfur, chlorine, and helium.

Some regulatory bodies have set standards for the amount of heavy metals in ink.

Some aquifers near industrial and mining centers have been contaminated by heavy metals, oils, and sanitary wastes.

Some metals form a barrier layer of oxide on their surface which cannot be penetrated by further oxygen molecules and thus retain their shiny appearance and good conductivity for many decades ( like aluminium, magnesium, some steels, and titanium ).

Some metals that have low density, low hardness, and low melting points, these ( the alkali and alkaline earth metals ).

Some metals, such as aluminium and sodium, have no commercially practical reducing agent, and are extracted using electrolysis instead.

Some metals have specialized uses ; radioactive metals such as uranium and plutonium are used in nuclear power plants to produce energy via nuclear fission.

Some metals such as cadmium, chromium, and nickel may alter the fidelity of DNA replication.

Some are heavier than the four just mentioned, including several metals, which often occur as ions in the body.

Some resources actually naturally deplete in amount without human interference, the most notable of these being radio-active elements such as uranium, which naturally decay into heavy metals.

Some authors reported that the plant may induce hepatic diseases ( liver disease ), while others found that it protects against liver damage that is caused by heavy metals.

Some metals are more dense than others making the size of the shot vary, for example, indoor shots are larger than outdoor shots, so different materials are used to make them.

Some uptake of heavy metals is possible.

Some metals vary in their occurrence and magnitude:

Some black shales contain abundant heavy metals such as molybdenum, uranium, vanadium, and zinc.

Some microorganisms have a naturally occurring, microbial catabolic diversity to degrade, transform or accumulate a huge range of compounds including hydrocarbons ( e. g. oil ), polychlorinated biphenyls ( PCBs ), polyaromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs ), pharmaceutical substances, radionuclides and metals.

Some treatment of mining tailings has occurred where the vegetation is then incinerated to recover the heavy metals.

Some artists have also been linked to neo-Nazism, although most black metal fans and most prominent black metal artists shun Nazism and oppose its influence on the black metal subculture.

Some Western modern occultists equate the Chinese classical element of metal with air, others with wood due to the elemental association of wind and wood in the ba gua.

Some metal complexes are formed virtually irreversibly and many are bound together by bonds that are quite strong.

Some were quite complex, with aqueducts, dams, and sluices to maintain and channel the water, along with systems of gears, or toothed-wheels made of wood and metal to regulate the speed of rotation.

Some groups, particularly Man Is the Bastard, took influence from sludge metal and noise music.

Some riders also like to use them in the winter to avoid putting a frozen metal bit into a horse's mouth.

Some intermetallic materials e. g. do exhibit metal clusters, reminiscent of molecules and these compounds are more a topic of chemistry than of metallurgy.

Some producers adopted motor-powered tappers and metal tubing systems to convey sap from the tree to a central collection container, but these techniques were not widely used.

Some musical saws are made with thinner metal, to increase flexibility, while others are made thicker, for a richer tone, longer sustain, and stronger harmonics.

Some punks wear tight " drainpipe " jeans, plaid / tartan trousers, kilts or skirts, T-shirts, leather jackets ( which are often decorated with painted band logos, pins and buttons, and metal studs or spikes ), and footwear such as Converse sneakers, skate shoes, brothel creepers, or Dr. Martens boots.

Some very high energy alpha particles compose about 10 % of cosmic rays, and these are capable of penetrating the body and even thin metal plates.

Some of the uses in the new series include: repairing electronic equipment ; re-attaching materials such as barbed wire ; detecting, intercepting and sending signals ; remotely operating the TARDIS ; burning, cutting, or igniting substances ; fusing metal ; scanning and identifying substances ; amplifying or augmenting sound ; modifying mobile phones to enable " universal roaming ”; disabling alien disguises ; resonating concrete ; reversing teleportation of another entity.

Some have also taken measures such as installing metal detectors or video surveillance.

Some of speed metal's earlier influences include Black Sabbath's " Children of the Grave ", Deep Purple's " Fireball " and Queen's " Stone Cold Crazy " ( which was eventually covered by the thrash metal band Metallica ), from their 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack, and Deep Purple's song " Highway Star ", from their album Machine Head.

Some used a liquid transmitter, some had a metal diaphragm that induced current in an electromagnet wound around a permanent magnet, and some were " dynamic "-their diaphragm vibrated a coil of wire in the field of a permanent magnet or the coil vibrated the diaphragm.

Some Typex rotors came in two parts — a slug containing the wiring was inserted into a metal casing.

Some companies have started to introduce a high-κ dielectric + metal gate combination in the 45 nanometer node.

Some printers use a very thin flexible metal fuser roller, so there is less mass to be heated and the fuser can more quickly reach operating temperature.

Some nu metal bands such as Korn and Disturbed use the style in some of their songs, such as " Twist " and " Down with the Sickness ".

Some arrows may simply use a sharpened tip of the solid shaft, but it is far more common for separate arrowheads to be made, usually from metal, horn, or some other hard material.

Some safety codes now require halogen bulbs to be protected by a grid or grille, especially for high power ( 1 – 2 kW ) bulbs used in theatre, or by the glass and metal housing of the fixture to prevent ignition of draperies or flammable objects in contact with the lamp.

Some base metal griddles will impart a subtle flavor to the food being cooked.
