 Titanium

 The metal is corrosion-resistant.

 Used for making medical implants, since titanium is biocompatible.

 It is the 7th most abundant metal on Earth, which is very hard to refine. Also, it is very expensive.

 Since it has a high strength to weight ratio, it is extremely valuable for the items that fly.

 Titanium Nitride is used for making metal cutting tools since it is insanely hard and has a low-
friction coating.

 Tungsten

 Used in making tungsten carbide.

 Used to make cutting tools (for mining and metalworking), abrasives, and heavy equipment. For
instance, the metal tungsten can easily cut titanium and high-temperature superalloys.

 Also, known as heavy stone, it is about 1.7 times the density of lead.

 It has the highest melting point and the highest tensile strength in comparison to any of the pure
metals.

 Used in making rocket nozzles that have to be able to handle extreme temperatures.

 Nickel

 Used to make 25% of the composition of the five-cent American coin.

 Cobalt

 Used to make blue pigment in paints and dyes.

 Tin

 Highly soft and malleable.

 Used in making pewter (85-99 %).

 Lead

 Really soft and malleable.

 Dense and heavy.

 Used in making bullets and paints.

 It can cause brain damage and behavioural problems.
