Scandium Sc
35th most common element
Hard and silvery
Used in aluminium-scandium alloys for high-performance sports equipment, and components of aircraft and ballistic missiles
Titanium Ti9th most common element
Resistant to corrosion
Used to make very light and strong alloys
Vanadium VSoft, ductile, resists corrosion
Used to make very strong steel alloys
Chromium CrHard, resistant to corrosion
Used in electroplating
Used in stainless steel
Manganese MnVery important in steel alloys
Large deposits as nodules on the ocean floor
Hard and brittle
Iron Fe (ferrum)
6th most abundant element in the universe
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, silicon or other metalsFerromagnetic
Cobalt Co
Superalloys of cobalt are used to make turbines and jet enginesResist corrosion and wearFerromagnetic
Nickel Ni
Hard and ductile
Used in alloys, especially stainless steelUsed in rechargeable batteries and coins
Ferromagnetic
Copper Cu (cuprum)
DuctileHigh thermal and electrical conductivity
Does not react with waterAncient use in weapons, coinsAlloys include bronze, brass
Zinc Zn
Prehistoric use in ornamentsUsed in brass
Fourth most commonly used metal
Used in batteries
Used to protect iron by galvanising
Diamagnetic
