    The document discusses various common uses of metals and which metals are typically used for each application. It mentions that electrical wires are often made of copper due to its high electrical conductivity. Springs are usually made of steel because it is elastic and strong. Saucepans, iron frameworks for skyscrapers, saw blades, and flashing on roofs are typically made from metals like copper, iron, steel, or aluminum due to their strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion. Bells, jewelry, and compass casings are commonly made from alloys like bronze, brass, and gold for their aesthetic qualities and workability. Light bulbs contain tungsten filaments because tungsten has a very high melting point.
