Types of Metals - TSV
Metals are essential materials that form the foundation of modern society, with diverse types including iron, copper, aluminum, zinc, titanium, gold, silver, platinum, and stainless steel. These are broadly classified into ferrous and non-ferrous metals, each possessing distinct physical and chemical properties. They are widely utilized across various fields such as construction, automotive, electronics, medical, and aerospace industries. This dataset systematically organizes information about the characteristics, applications, and classifications of these major metals.
