What else can I help you with?
How do you make metal contract?
They expand ------- No, normally metals expand when heated.
Why does metal expand when heated?
The over excited metal-molecules are rapidly accelerating when the metal is heated, and this excitement caused them to collide more frequently than usual and in more drastic and random motions. The increase in kinetic energy promotes expansion.
What happens to matter when heated?
When matter is heated it will expand
What happens to metal are heated and cooled?
It depends on the metal but often it will change phase and crystal form and have different properties. As an example steel when molten is in what is called the austenitic phase. This is a face Centered Cubic crystal structure. When quickly quenched it becomes martensitic which is brittle and Body Centered Tetragonal. Cooling down slowly will produce a pearlite structure. If a liquid metal is poured into a mold it will take the shape of that mold and when cooled will keep the shape of that very mold. It will also contract/shrink.
Why a solid metal expands when it is heated?
Metal expands when it is headed, Because of a process called melting , the more you heat a substance the more it will expand, ( the atoms ) will will get to a point where it will become a liquid and if heated enough the atoms will get so far apart that it will become a gas.
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
Liquids contract when heated?
Liquids expand when heated and contractwhen cooled.
Does gases contract when heated?
No, gasses expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Do liquides contract when heated?
Liquids expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Do any metals contract when heated?
No, metals always expand when heated and contract only when cooled.
Why do metals expand when hot and contract when cooled?
When metals are heated, the atoms within the metal vibrate more rapidly, causing them to take up more space and the metal to expand. When the metal is cooled, the atoms vibrate less, allowing them to move closer together, resulting in contraction. This expansion and contraction is due to the changes in the spacing and movement of the atoms within the metal structure.
What is distortion in welding?
it moves Because almost all Elements expand when heated and contract when cooled. As you are welding the metal at that location is trying to expand because of the heat. Ahead of the weld area the metal isn't moving. Behind the weld area the metal is trying to contract as it cools. If the whole weld could be heated at once it would expand then contract at the same rate without distortion.
What happened to the matel when it is on a cold day?
Metals contract when they are cooled, and expand when they are heated.
Does metal expand and contract?
Yes, metal can expand and contract due to changes in temperature. When heated, the metal molecules move more rapidly, causing the metal to expand. Conversely, when cooled, the metal molecules slow down, resulting in contraction.
Does Ice contract when cooled and expand when heated like most other solids?
yes
Why do train tracks expand?
Metal expands when it is heated. Since track is made of metal then it expands when it is heated by the sun.
Why a glass jar can be easily opened if the metal lid is heated?
because metal will expand when it has been heated up
