Metals of similar density will blend well when melted, such as copper and lead. Metals of very different density, such as aluminum and gold, won't blend because the lighter metal will float on top of the heavier one, rather than mixing in. There is a technique to overcome this problem, however. If you take the metals in question into orbit and blend them in free-fall, then it works perfectly.

∙ 13y agoAside from Mercury, which is liquid even well below room temperature gallium and cesium melt very easily. Both melt at just above room temperature, gallium at 86 degrees Fahrenheit and cesium at 83 degrees Fahrenheit. Even the heat from your hand will melt them.
Unfortunately gallium, though not known to be toxic, can stain your skin and cesium is so reactive that it bursts into flames on contact to air.

How the metals are recycled?
Metals can be melted and re-use them.
What does the transition metals mean on the periodic table?
it means they are metals that cant be melted
When metals are melted and mixed together they are called?
Alloys are metal mixtures.
What is a substance that will change from a soild into a liquid?
Water: it will change from ice when melted. Metals and rocks, when exposed to enough heat, will melt into liquids.
Can metals be solids liquids or gases?
Metals are almost always solids with high melting points. The exception is Mercury, Hg which is a liquid at room temperature. It is very toxic and appears a silvery globules.All metals except for one are solid at room temperature.The only exception is mercury, which is a liquid.it depends on the temperatureMetal is normally a solid but can be melted to make melted metal, which is a liquid. Metal cannot be evaporated, therefore, it isn't a gas.
To make a fire exiting Ladder which is the lightest but strongest and fireproof metal or alloy?
Alloy is the name for at least two different metals melted and blended together. Most of the metals we use are alloys, as their characteristics are usually better than the base metals.
How the metals are recycled?
Metals can be melted and re-use them.
When two pure metals are blended what is the solution?
alloy
When you blend two types of metals what is it?
If the metals are melted together the result is called an alloy, if not melted together the result is called a mixture.
What properties of metals allow them to be recycled?
they can be melted, mixed with other metals(alloys)
What does the transition metals mean on the periodic table?
it means they are metals that cant be melted
When two pure metals are blended the resulting solutio or alloy?
Alloy
How do you say melted in spanish?
Derretido, fundido (metals).
What are 2 or more metals mixed together called?
Il several metals have been mixed together it is a mixture, if that mixture is then melted so that the metals mingle at the atomic level it is an alloy. However for certain metals that have widely different melting points making an alloy by simply melting the mixture of those metals will not work (the lower melting temperature metals will melt first and separate from the mixture, in some cases one or metals might even evaporate before the higher melting temperature metals have begun to melt). For such alloys the metals must be melted in groups forming other alloys that must then be blended to create the final intended alloy.
Why do you recycle metals?
Metals can be melted down repeatedly without losing their strength or durability, which makes them ideal for recycling.
Which metals can be melted in a furnace which operates at 1500 F?
An example is cadmium.
What is a pot called for melting metal?
A crucible is a container in which metals are melted, usually for temperatures above 500 °C.
