Metal works in interiors

Properties of metals:
Metals in general have high electrical conductivity, high thermal
conductivity, and high density. Typically they are malleable and ductile,
deforming under stress without cleaving.
In terms of optical properties, metals are shiny and lustrous. Sheets of
metal beyond a few micrometres in thickness appear opaque, but gold
leaf transmits green light.
Although most metals have higher densities than most nonmetals, there is
wide variation in their densities, Lithium being the least dense solid
element and osmium the densest.
The alkali and alkaline earth metals in groups I A and II A are referred to as
the light metals because they have low density, low hardness, and low
melting points.
The high density of most metals is due to the tightly packed crystal lattice
of the metallic structure. The strength of metallic bonds for different
metals reaches a maximum around the center of the transition
metal series, as those elements have large amounts of delocalized
electrons in tight binding type metallic bonds.
However, other factors (such as atomic radius, nuclear charge, number
of bonds orbitals, overlap of orbital energies and crystal form) are
involved as well.
 Metals used in interiors
Lead:
Lead was also frequently used for window panes in skylights and stained
glass. It was also used for small pieces of sculpture and garden
ornamentation. Lead was frequently added to paint, with red lead used
as an anti-corrosive pigment for iron, and white lead used as paint for
wooden houses. Lead-based paint was one of the most durable
materials developed as a protective exterior coating. The use of lead
paint has been restricted on most buildings, due to concerns of lead
poisoning.
Copper and its alloys:

Copper was also used for decorative purposes, including architectural

ornaments or sculptures. One famous example is the Statue of Liberty.
Copper alloys used in architecture include bronze, an alloy of copper
and tin, and brass, an alloy of copper and zinc.
 CAST IRON

Cast iron is any iron containing greater than 2% carbon alloy.

Cast iron has a high-compressive strength and good wear resistance; however, it lacks
ductility, malleability, and impact strength. Alloying it with nickel, chromium, molybdenum,
silicon, or vanadium improves toughness, tensile strength, and hardness. A malleable cast iron
is produced through a prolonged annealing process
 WROUGHT IRON
Wrought iron is made from pig iron with
some slag mixed in during manufacture.
Almost pure iron, the presence of slag
enables wrought iron to resist corrosion and
oxidation.
The chemical analyses of wrought iron and
mild steel are just about the same.

The difference comes from the properties

controlled during the manufacturing
process.
Wrought iron can be gas and arc welded,
machined, plated, and easily formed;
however, it has a low hardness and a low-
fatigue strength.
 Aluminium:
Aluminium partitions:

We are one of the leading manufacturers of aluminium partitions that

come in a wide variety with an effective cost price. We make partitions of
various types catering to the needs and requirements of clients. Made
from the high grade raw materials these partitions are not only strong but
also defect free. These aluminum partitions are used in official and
commercial sectors to segregate the area in different cabins for various
reasons.
Aluminium Doors and Windows:

We are engaged in offering aluminum doors and windows for offices,

malls, hospitals and showrooms. Our aluminum doors and windows
come in wide varieties and designs to successfully meet all types of
requirements of our clients. Manufactured using quality raw material,
these aluminum doors and windows are provided with aluminum
frames with glass panes inside and floor springs mounted on top.
