How does metal react to tension?

All metals have a tensile strength. The strength varies with the metal and with such factors as temperature and additives.


What is the difference between metal and semiconductor?

A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with increasing temperature. A metal's resistivity increases with increasing temperature.


Is Eiffel Tower always the same height?

no ,Because when the temperature increases the metal expands and when the temperature is low the metal contracts


What happens to the resistance of metals as they get hot?

The electrical resistance in a common piece of metal such as copper wire would increase. This happens because as temperature increases the atoms of the metal vibrate quicker and to a larger extent resulting in a greater number of collisions for electrons moving along the metal.


What happens to the overall metal content of stars as the universe ages?

How does the heat get in to the metal spoon?

since metal is a good conductor of heat, it absorbs the heat and the spoon increases the temperature


What happens when heated metal is suddenly immersed in water?

The metal increases in hardness, a mechanical property. The process which transforms the metal hardness is called "quenching".


What effect does the initial temperature of the water have on change in temperature of the water after the hot metal is added?

When hot metal is added into the water then the metal looses its energy into the water and this heat is gained by the water, so the temperature gets increases when hot metal added into it i.e final temperature is greater than initial temperature of water.

Yttrium is a solid metal at r.t.


What is the Significance of recrystallization temperature in metalworking?

Recrystallization temperature in metal working can be defined as the temperature at which the plastic deformation takes place perfectly. The stresses induced during the process is are grater than the yield strength and less than the fracture strength.
