The pure metals titanium and copper, along with the alloys duralumin, bronze, and stainless steel, are widely used in engineering, construction, and manufacturing.
The applications of these metals and alloys depend heavily on their physical and chemical properties, such as density, electrical conductivity, strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion.
State a typical use for each of these five materials—titanium, copper, duralumin, bronze, and stainless steel—and explain how their properties make them suitable for these uses.
