Metals rust with time if they come in contact with water and air. They can also be very noisy. As metals are generally hard, use of metals requires professional tools. Recycling metals create a lot of toxic gases. For recycling, metals need to be especially separated from other recyclables. Mining also produces lots of noise and air pollution along with the emission of poisonous gases in blast furnaces.

What are the disadvantages of transition metal?
They're just so... transitioney. This question makes no sense. There are no "disadvantages" of "transition metals" in general, you'd have to specify a particular application and a particular metal. To give you an idea of what kind of range of properties we're talking about, iron and gold are both transition metals.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using incineration to dispose of heavy metal?
The disadvantage is that you can't destroy heavy metals (or any metals or, indeed, any chemical elements) by incineration. So the most you can achieve by incineration is scattering heavy metals around with ash that is carried away with smoke.
What are two disadvantages of using alloys instead of pure metals?
Alloys (mixtures of metals and other elements) have different properties form pure metals.Two examples:An alloy of carbon & iron males steel which can be much harder than ironAn alloy of copper and tin makes bronze which is harder and more corrosion resistant than either of the pure metals
What are the main metals in the periodic table?
The three main metals in a periodic table are transition metals, alkali metals, and alakaline earth metals.
Are the Lanthanide Series metals or non-metals or metaloids?
They are Metals
What are the advantages and disadvantages to expansion and contraction of metals?
Thermometers
Disadvantages of using metals in construction?
Some metals are not strong enough to be able to hold tons of weight
Disadvantages and advantages of ferrous metals?
Sill people hahahahaha
What are the disadvantages of multi start thread cutting on metals?
It needs high skill manpower
Paint advantages and disadvantages?
It covers and protects woods and metals from the elements. It also adds colour.
What are the disadvantages of muriatic acid?
Muriatic acid can be highly corrosive and releasing toxic fumes when used in confined spaces, posing health risks if inhaled or if it comes into contact with skin. It can also be damaging to certain materials like metal and fabric if not used properly. Improper disposal of muriatic acid can also harm the environment.
What are advantages and disadvantages of nonferrous metals?
Disadvantages- may be more expensive and not as strong as ferrous metals.Advantages- may be a better electrical conductor, not affected by magnetism, may be corrosion resistant.

What are advantages and disadvantages of ferrous metals?
Advantages of ferrous metals High strength to weight ratio compared to Non-metals Heavier than Aluminum and Titanium Alloys High quality and durable material Prone to corrosion by rusting (except stainless steel) Machine-ability Affected by magnetic field Recyclable and environmentally friendly Disadvantages of ferrous metals Requires more energy to form into shapes or re-work compared to Aluminum Alloys
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using metal in bicycles?
It's strong enough, light enough and cheap enough. Iron-based metals might rust, and it costs a fair bit in energy and pollution to produce metals.

What are two clinical disadvantages of cast metals that have lower elastic moduli?
1.They will be highly brittle. 2.They will have less usage life.
