Metal that can be pulled into a wire is ductile. The most ductile metal is gold.
Copper (or alloys containing great amounts of copper) and aluminum (alloys) are the most common electric conductors with silver, gold and other rare metals used for specific purposes.
Various iron alloys are made into cable wire that are to withstand high tensile loads.

What happens to the atoms in the metal when a piece of copper is pulled into a wire?

When a piece of copper is pulled into a wire, the atoms in the metal rearrange themselves to align in the direction of the wire, resulting in elongation of the material. This process is known as plastic deformation, where the crystal structure of the metal adjusts to the new shape without breaking.


How can Harley Davidson decals be removed from metal?

Harley Davidson decals can be removed from metal using metal wire or fishing line. Move the wire back and forth under the decal until it comes loose and can be pulled off.


Do metallic bonds break with difficulty when pulled into a wire?

No. The bond involves deloalised electrons. When a metal is pulled into a wire essentially there is movement of the metal atom lattice and the bonds are disturbed rather than broken. Its a different situation in a covalent giant molecule where localised ciovalent bonds have to be broken as the lattice is deformed.


Is bending a metal wire a chemial or phyiscal change?

Physical. The metal wire is still a metal wire after the change.


What is wire die fabrication?

I can think of two different things this might be: 1. Dies can be used to make wire. The wire is pulled through a smaller hole to make a thinner wire. The tool with the small hole would be a die. 2. You might be referring to wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining). This is a way of cutting metal with electricity. It is often used in the fabrication of dies because it can cut through the hardest metal - metal that is too hard to cut with normal cutting tools.


What substance can be pulled or drawn into a wire?

Ductile


When a wire is pulled it is said to be in?

When a wire is pulled, it is said to be in tension. Tension is the force that stretches the wire and tries to pull it apart. This is in contrast to compression, which is the force that pushes a material together.


What is the metal used in wire?

In most cases, copper is the metal used in wire.


What is thicker 28 or 30 gauge?

The thickness of metal wire is inversely proportional to the guage number of the metal wire. So 28 guage metal wire is thicker than 30 guage metal wire.


What is the substance that could be pulled or drawn into wire?

A substance that can be pulled or drawn into wire is called ductile. Metals such as gold, silver, and copper are known for their ductility, which allows them to be stretched into thin wires without breaking.


Is baling wire a metal or nonmetal?

Baling wire is a metal, specifically a type of steel wire used for bundling materials like hay or straw.
