Question:

What qualities are metals graded on?

I've looked for it online and tried asking which metals are best but that doesn't workMetals are graded on too many qualities to have one that is just 'the best'.So I'm asking what qualities are metals graded on?I've got corrosion, tensile strength, brittleness, and melting pointWhat other qualities are metals graded on?

Answer:

graded in terms of what metal? conductivity, malleability, purity, each metal has it's purpose and the grading is based on the purpose of use, more than something else Example where structure is involve such as Steel, or Aluminum - the quality in question maybe tensile strength where things like copper, aluminum, silver, and gold purity maybe involved in conductivity of electrons Where in things like jewelry mallability and purity is the question each Function has a reason.
