Metals Bundle

Almost 75% of all elements are metals. Metals can be classified as either ferrous or non-ferrous and generally conduct electricity and heat well. Most metals are malleable and ductile and are, in general, heavier than other elemental substances. The following six eLearning courses are included in the Materials bundle. Each course is approximately one-hour in duration. See topics/outline for additional details. Introduction to Metals, Ferrous Metals, Nonferrous Metals, Classification of Steel, Essentials of Heat Treatment of Steel Exotic Alloys
