Physical Properties of the Most Important Metals
The following tables list the physical properties of the most technically significant pure metals as well as carbon. The values given may vary considerably depending on the degree of purity and sometimes they are also difficult to determine. In compiling the data from the available literature we selected those that are currently the most probable. Some properties are anisotropic and vary with the crystalline structure of the metal. In those cases, whenever possible, we listed the value applicable to the poly-crystalline stage.
