What is physical metallurgy?
It is the study of the physical properties of metals, such heat and electrical conduction; alloying different metals together.
Heat conduction is most efficient in?
Heat con conduction is efficient metals
What is the conduction of metal?
The conduction is transfer of heat between metals,also called metallic conduction
Heat conduction is most efficient in metals nonmetallic metals water or gases?
metals
What is heat or electrical transfer by contact?
Conduction
How can conduction be helpful?
Conduction can cause a spark which can light a light bulb. Conduction can be used to heat up metals.
Why does heat travel faster by conduction in some objects?
Heat travels faster in some objects by conduction because they have free or mobile electrons for the conduction of heat energy.Such is the case with metals.
What is the transfer of electrical or heat energy through a substance?
conduction
What is a good conduction?
Metals are good conductors of both heat and energy.
What conducts heat using metal?
In metals, the conduction of heat is due mainly to the movement of electrons.
Why can lead conduct heat?
All metals conduc heat; two theories were involved for the explanation:- heat conduction by hypothetic phonons (excited states in metals structures) in metals- heat conducton by "hot" electrons moving in metals
What does conduction of different metals mean?
it means the rate transfer of heat through this metal and coductivity is the measure of this abillity
